Last weekend I went to the mall with my brother, and while I struck out at Target, I found some cards at GameStop. Them getting into cards has been a big deal on twitter but it's mostly graded stuff. I don't mess with that, I don't need anyone to think for me. So it was a pleasant surprise to see that had some real cards for sale, including a blaster of 2025-26 MVP, first set released for the NHL every year. Naturally I bought said blaster, and the first card of the year is this one:

Not a bad design. I like it.
I find it pretty hard to believe we are in the 2025-26 season. I became a fan of stick and ball sports in the 1995-96 season so I feel pretty old now. If only Fleer, which was my first pack, still existed! I wish the hobby still looked like it did in the mid-90s. That was peak. I'm glad I got to experience it live. Of course it would be quite a while before I would begin collecting hockey, so I didn't get to experience that during the best days, unfortunately. Better late than never.
Not sure I'll buy any packs of 2025-26 hockey, but I did just buy some Sharks stadium giveaway cards from last season. They're the newest hockey cards I've added to my collection.
