2011-12 Pinnacle Rainy Day Rip

Here's another pack of unopened cards that I had laying around, waiting to be set free.

I haven't seen, let alone opened a pack of 2011-12 Pinnacle in quite some time now. The package brought back a lot of memories from just a few years ago where I was opening this product on the regular. So um, would this pack rip fall into that Throwback Thursday category?

A sophomore Taylor Hall graces the package for 2011-12 Pinnacle.  It's hard to believe that he has been in the NHL for six seasons already. Where does the time go?

There are 10 cards per pack with a shot of pulling a wide array of inserts from Nufex technology parallels to memorabilia and autograph cards.

Although many of the photos selected to be represented on the cards feature some pretty neat shots - there are nearly just as many stinkers in the group. Take the above Ryan Smyth card for example; is it really even Smyth? You can barely see him in it.

A couple of boring cards featuring Souray and Carcillo. Not too much going on in these.

Hands down my last favorite base from the pack.

This overhead card of Jimmy Howard takes the imaginary gold medal as my favorite pull from the rip. Unfortunately my scanner thought otherwise and decided to cut the top off the card during processing.

The photo used on this card is so grainy that I swear they may have just taken it directly from an actual live televised screen capture.

This pack was an overall dud but in an attempt to make the best out of a negative situation; it was fun opening up a low-end product that I ripped into a lot when I began to get back into collecting for the first time around.

I use to have a lot of these before I sold off a hug chunk of my collection just recently so I guess these will find their way into my newly instated miscellaneous box until more come along.
