Upper Deck is reknowned for revolutionizing the sports card industry with their crisp, full-color action photos, high-resolution litography on premium white card stock, and distinctive counterfeit proof Upper Deck hologram.
Once again, Upper Deck is leading the way as the first regular issue major card company to produce women's hockey cards. The cards are part of the National Heroes sub-set found in the 1997-98 Upper Deck NHL Collector's Choice Series.
While originally slated to feature members of both Team Canada and Team USA Women's squad, due to contractual problems with Team USA, the sub-set will instead feature all 20 members of the 1997 Canadian Women's National Team. For a complete list of players included in the set click here.
