What I Pulled: 2 Specialists Game Jerseys: Peter Bondra blue swatch, Ales Hemsky blue swatch 2 Rookie Redemptions: Group B and Group D

What's Good: The photography is outstanding, especially considering how difficult it must have been to come up with fresh-looking images. The color correction work really makes the photos pop and the mostly horizontal orientation of the cards allows more of the action to be captured in the shot. The odds worked out as stated, including the two-per-box Rookie Redemptions, each of which is good for 10 cards. Power Play is a solid entry level-type product.

What's Bad: When we asked UD officials to describe the elements of this product that would get hobbyists excited, they focused on the Rookie Redemptions and left it at that. We now understand why. For a young fan, this could be a great intro product, but for serious collectors, there's not much to it. The odds are extremely long for the autographs and parallels, so all you're really getting in terms of inserts are the jerseys. The swatches were a good size (and the NHL-shield cut is still a nice look), but Hemsky and Bondra are to pulls what Kathy Griffin is to entertainment.

Curious: Although the base set is done in team order, both Patrice Bergeron (#38) and Nathan Horton (#50) show up in the midst of other clubs (Florida and Nashville, respectively).

What'll You Get For the Redemptions?: No one's saying what you'll get or when you'll get it. An Upper Deck source told us they were being very methodical about the process and would wait for "some time" in order to get the best possible players for the program.
