Parkhurst takes a step back

An advertising insert inside a box of 2006-07 Bee Hive, featuring Numbah Fo-ah, Bobby Or-ah, promises the Spring 2007 release of Parkhurst. It sounds like it'll be taking a step up (four autos, on average, per box means more $$$) and away ("your favorite players from yesteryear!") from last year's effort. No release date, yet, from Upper Deck.

It makes me believe that the 2006-07 O-Pee-Chee is, indeed, the monster set of the season. Last season's Parkhurst ranks as my favorite -- lots of cards, huge team sets and Sharpie-ready.

And, for those of you keeping score, that insert came out of my box. I broke down and got one. My review been updated.
