Amid the bewildering barrage of otherworldly hits I’ve seen packed into 2010-11 Dominion Hockey over the course of the last week, there is one insert in particular that has repeatedly commanded my attention more than the others.
The cards*don’t*have on-card autographs or a rainbow array of peerless patches like many of the*gems*that will share pack space with them. What they do*have, though, is something that makes them unlike any other*sports*card*in history:*Sterling silver-plated bars engraved with the names of the Stanley Cup-hoisters*on them.
As far as I’m concerned,*the*20-card Engravatures*insert*is easily one of Dominion’s most unique*inclusions — and that’s saying something. It’s a combination of precious metal and heavy metal that makes each card noticeably*weightier and noticeably cooler.
