2013-14 ITG Between The Pipes Box Break & Review

Design:  photo 3rbmask.jpg

One thing I notice with ITG products is that they barely change certain parts of a set from year to year.  What they do tweak are the more popular areas that I think they want collectors to pay attention to.  Among all the autographs and relics what the Between The Pipes brand is known for are the Masked Men inserts.  I have nothing negative to say about these as they combine an artistic look with chrome technology.  And they keep getting better looking each year.

Price:  photo 3rbmask.jpg

Boxes are currently selling for $87.00.

“Hit” Quality:  photo 3rbmask.jpg

Every box promises at least (2) autographs, (2) relics, and (3) Masked Men inserts.  ITG seems to deliver more than the stated odds most of the time.

I pulled the following:

Autos

  • Roberto Luongo Stars Of The Game Goaliegraph
  • Ben Bishop Stars Of The Game Goaliegraph
  • Dominic Roussel Greats Of The Game Goaliegraph

Overall:  photo 3rbmask.jpg

Overall, I give 2013-14 ITG Between The Pipes an average 3 goalie masks out of 5 (1=poor & 5=perfect).  Nothing too drastically different, but the Masked Men inserts continue to look great.   The goalie mask is probably one of the most decorated pieces of sports equipment, and its fun to see all of the creative designs.  My personal favorite Masked Men 6 insert has to be Eric Comrie as his mask features a Captain America paint scheme.

2013-14 In The Game Used Box Break & Review

Design:  photo 3zam.jpg

From a design standpoint, there really isn’t anything new.  The design is pretty much the standard, nothing too innovating.

Price:  photo 3zam.jpg

Boxes are currently selling for $125.00.

“Hit” Quality:  photo 4zam.jpg

This product is all about the “hits” and ITG delivers.  No extra base cards, just the goods.

Overall:  photo 35zam.jpg

Overall, I give 2013-14 In The Game Used 3.5 zambonis out of 5 (1=poor & 5=perfect).  The design isn’t anything new, but the “hits” pack a quick punch.  Its one of the better ITG products I’ve opened.
