Halfway home

It's not all that often that you pull a memorabilia card out of a retail blaster box of hockey cards. But that's what we did recently, getting this Two on Two quad memorabilia card out of a box of 2009-10 MVP Hockey. Pretty neat concept, too. Two swatches from two players from two teams on two sides.

To me, it's just this type of card that lends itself to an impromptu hockey-hounding project. Well, thanks to Florida's Cory Stillman and Nathan Horton, the centerpiece, so to speak, of the 2009-10 Threads project is one team away from completion.

Hopefully, Carolina's Rod Brind'Amour and Jussi Jokinen will complete the card when the Hurricanes head to Hockey Bay in March and April.
