New Fanatics Hockey product

 Fanatics has taken over the sports memorabilia world, and while I think that's mostly a bad thing, one of the cool things they do is product drops. You essentially see that a new product is being released, enter your name into the drop which is raffle style, and if you're chosen they charge you and ship you the product. 

I've participated in quite a few of these but only get picked 25% of the time or less. However, this time I did get an email notification that I was among those chosen. The product was 2024-25 NHL Under Wraps Emanate and what the product is is signed 8x10s from NHL stars that aren't flat 8x10s but kind of a thick paper stock with a glossy finish and sheen. The base autos are numbered /50 and then the variations vary up to 1 of 1s. There are also select multi signed versions.

My initial take was that the presentation of the product definitely was nice. The packaging and sturdiness of the boxes felt like an upper echelon, high end product. The two players I ended up pulling were a Matthew Tkachuk /10 and a Morgan Geekie /5. I consider myself lucky since both are very low numbered and Tkachuk is one of the top 5 to 10 players in the league. All in all it was fun open and since this is the first edition of this product, it will probably hold long term value.
