As a wannabe historian, mention the word splendor to me and the first thing that pops into my head is Louis XIV, the Sun King. It's an automatic reaction, I can't help myself. Louis XIV was king of France from 1643-1715, and it was during his reign that the palace of Versailles was expanded and became the principal royal residence. Versailles is a wonderful example of splendor in all areas (eg. furnishings, grounds, architecture, etc.).
Since Upper Deck has now introduced the name Splendor into it's hockey products, it's time to start making a new hockey connection with that word. There are 16 cards for Iggy in Splendor, with 4 of them being 1/1 cards. My focus has been on pulling in the other 12 cards, and I now have all 12 of them. For those of you unfamiliar with Splendor, there are a couple of parallels within the group of cards that I'm showing. Cards numbered out of 5 (gold parallel), 11 (red parallel), 22 (silver parallel), and 36 (base) come in a bordered and borderless version. There is a black & white base #/27, a black & white copper parallel #/12, and a black & white gold parallel #/6.
Left side top to bottom: Bordered Gold Parallel #/5, Borderless Gold Parallel #/5, Bordered Red Parallel #/11, Borderless Red Parallel #/11
Middle: Black & White Gold Parallel #/6, Black & White Copper Parallel #/12, Black & White Base #/27
Right side top to bottom: Bordered Silver Parallel #/22, Borderless Silver Parallel #/22, Bordered Base #/36, Borderless Base #/36
It's nice to see that Iggy is maintaining a presence in a higher end product without having a ton of cards to chase.
