Stats & info
These card backs are almost identical to the standard-issued 2007-08 Upper Deck hockey cards - and contain all of the same information. They have each player's height, weight, birth date, birthplace and complete NHL stats. For Kane - who was a rookie when this set came out - the back of the card has his last year of stats from his junior team.
Final rating:
Patrick Kane has been one of the hottest rookies during the 2007-08 season. The fact that this promo set has an "oddball" Kane card makes it desirable for collectors to own.

With the exception of the Kane card, the cards are nearly-identical to the standard cards issued in packs of 2007-08 Upper Deck hockey cards. The cards use the same photos, and basically the same design.
However, there are some differences between the "normal" and "giveaway" cards:
- The giveaway cards are printed on thinner card stock
- On the normal cards, the player names are printed in an embossed gold foil ink; on the giveaway cards, the names are white with an "outer glow"
- The normal cards have gold foil embossed Upper Deck logos, while the giveaway cards don't.
- Likewise, the giveaway cards for Havlat and Sharp use the new (angular and blue) Upper Deck logo design, instead of the old design.
- The giveaway cards have different numbers, naturally, in the upper left-hand corner. They also have different "promo" numbers at the bottom.
