Pre-order packs hold four\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the fourth is a Rookie Profiles card that exists in no other configuration. A dealer who ordered after release could buy as many packs as he liked and never see one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is an unusually direct piece of commercial engineering: the reward is not rarer odds inside the pack, it is a different pack, given to the people who committed their money before the product existed. Card manufacturers normally build incentives around volume. This one was built around timing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is a pre-order pack.\u003c\/strong\u003e Four cards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe double rookie class\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOvertime existed because of an unusual season. The 2012\/13 NHL lockout cut that year to 48 games, and a large number of rookies either never debuted or played too little to count. When 2013\/14 began, two rookie classes arrived at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a checklist far deeper than a normal year: Nail Yakupov, Alex Galchenyuk, Jonathan Huberdeau and Vladimir Tarasenko from the lost season, alongside Nathan MacKinnon, Jonathan Drouin and Seth Jones from the new one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOvertime focused on exactly that group, which is what the set is for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased in two waves.
