Head shots are ok but how about pics with their pads showing? Glad there are more Irbe cards coming out. Picked up a few already from BTP and a Ultimate Goalie Legend so far... cant wait for more to show up. Glad they made a Mask card of Irbe.
Irbe playing for the CCCP is what made be a fan... He may not like to be associated with the COUNTRY because of the russia/latvia debacle, but if he had never played for in world famous soviet squad one could argue that he never wouldve gotten the recognition to eventually become an NHL goaltender.
BTW congrats an grabbing that UM12 Auto/Mem /9... Ya got it just as I was clicking the BIN button
