Definitely not a second rate product, they've always used really nice swatches and patches, and they are untouchable in the 1/1 department, they're almost always stand-out cards. The licensing thing kills me, because I love my Bruins, so seeing a bunch of Bruins players on cards without any spoked B, or mention of the team is a bummer. Not a fan of the H&P stuff because I really only follow the NHL closely, but it has its pros and cons. Lots of ITG stuff, but some of my best cards are from ITG. Weird, but very true.
