The New York Rangers’ centennial season has been one to forget on the ice. Luckily, the legendary trading-card retailer Upper Deck created a unique way for fans to celebrate 100 years of Rangers hockey in a more positive way.
Upper Deck unveiled two Rangers Centennial-themed trading-card boxes, a retail box that is available now and a higher-end hobby box that will be available at Upper Deck’s website and New York-area card shops March 18.
“We created two great sets at varying prices to create greater accessibility from Rangers fans to the different type of collectors,” Upper Deck senior brand manager, sports, Ed Spiker told Forever Blueshirts “The hobby price might be a bit more difficult for younger fans who also might be budding collectors, so that’s partly the reason for the retail box set.
