Now is the Time to Order the 2004-05 Heroes & Prospects Update Set
In The Game, Inc., manufacturers of "In The Game" and the "Parkhurst" brands
of hockey cards, is in the process of putting the final touches on their 2004-05 Heroes &
Prospects Update set.
This set will be extremely limited. Each will include 50 additional players numbered 181-230 and
will serve as an extension to the initial Heroes & Prospects base set. The 50-player checklist
has now been finalized and is posted below. The checklist includes another card of junior hockey
sensation Sidney Crosby as well as the MVP and gold medallist from the recent World Junior
Championships, Patrice Bergeron.
"This Update set gives us the opportunity to include more of the best prospects from both
the CHL and the AHL," says In The Game President Dr. Brian Price. "Many of these players
are in their first year in their respective leagues and we were unable to include them in the
original set. Now that they have played, we got them!"
Of special note is the fact 19 of the 22 members of Team Canada that just won the Gold Medal at
the 2004-05 World Junior Championships now have base cards in the 230-card Heroes & Prospects set.
In addition, each Update Set will include either one game-used memorabilia card or one Autograph
card. Many of the biggest names in each league will be available in an Autograph or memorabilia-card
including Sidney Crosby, Alexander Ovechkin, Patrice Bergeron, Stephen Weiss, and Robbie Schremp.
The cost of the Update Set is $39.95 (U.S. funds) or $47.50 in Canadian funds including shipping
and handling; however you can receive a $5 discount by simply sending either five Hobby version
wrappers or 10 Arena version wrappers along with your order by mail. Sets are available online
through the company web site at www.itgtradingcards.com.
In The Game, Inc. has produced Be A Player, In The Game and Parkhurst brands of hockey trading
cards since 1998-99. The company issued six different hockey card products in 2003-04 and is
