Hockey Upper Deck Renews Team Canada License

[ranbethscards]

Excerpt from the article:

With the Winter Olympics coming up next year, this seems like a good time for Upper Deck to announce it has renewed its license agreement with Hockey Canada in a multi-year deal.


Upper Deck will remain the exclusive trading card company for Canada’s national teams. This deal also allowed Upper Deck to get Team Canada memorabilia items for Upper Deck Authenticated.

What does "to get Team Canada memorabilia items" mean to the collector? It means...

That Upper Deck will issue countless un-numbered Jersey cards of players you have never heard of, only to have a lawsuit filed because the Jerseys were never worn in a game, or practice, or even worn by the player whose name is on the card. (Yeah, we've seen the same scenario over and over during the last few years.)
