A couple of weeks ago I held a contest for a sealed Felix Potvin 2010-2011 Zenith Dare To Tear box topper. Matthew Wilson from the blog Tenets of Wilson was the lucky winner. I received an e-mail from Matthew early today. The urge to open it was too much to handle and Matthew decided to tear. Inside waiting for him wasn’t a base card or a parallel. Instead what was waiting for him was a Taylor Hall 2010-2011 Donruss Elite RC Auto #’ed/99. The odds of pulling a card like this are out of this world. I couldn’t be more happy for Matthew. I’m glad one of Sports Card Info’s contests could yield such a high-dollar card. This has to be the most valuable card awarded to a reader. The last Taylor Hall ’10-’11 Elite RC Auto #’ed/99 sold for $125.00.

Last week I pulled this Felix Potvin 2010-2011 Zenith Dare To Tear 5×7 box topper. Inside could be anything from a base card to an autograph. If your the lucky winner, what will you do? Keep it sealed or tear it open?

Last night I was reading a book by Dr. James Beckett called “Collecting Baseball and other Sports Cards”, and while reading the history of hockey cards I came across a list of top cards. One that stood out to me came from a pack of 1997-1998 Pinnacle Zenith Dare to Tear, which was the first product to feature “cards within cards”. I remember this product so well because back when it came out I subscribed to Tuff Stuff and sometimes they would include promo cards in the magazine. One month I got a promo card of Joe Sakic from this set and within the card was an Eric Lindros normal sized card. I wonder if this is where Topps got their idea for the “rip card”? I miss Pinnacle and Zenith. They had some of the coolest insert cards ever made for the hobby.
