Ninja Update: 2002-03 UD Premier Collection

2002-03 UD Premier Collection is a high-end product that offers a base card, a rookie, an autograph, and a memorabilia card in every pack. This was one of the very first sets to offer fans NHL Shield Patch Logos and also included an impressive signature class. Unfortunately the product had severe issues in the numbering system of the base set, leading to no less than 17 duplicated numbers (44-49, 51-52, 56-60, 67, 70-72), and 3 numbers (85-87) omitted completely.
