Inspired by the Fortress of Solitude as seen in “Superman,” this trading card set highlights game action imagery of six global NHL superstars in Superman’s secret sanctuary. Featuring the Fortress’ bright sheen and textured appearance, the set features images of Alex Ovechkin, Sidney Crosby, Leon Draisaitl, Filip Forsberg, Auston Matthews, and David Pastrnak. Collectors who complete the full six-card set will receive an exclusive Connor McDavid achievement card.

Some collectors have already posted the cards on sites such as eBay, with Draisaitl and Crosby listed well above retail. This is a good sign for this limited-time collection that it’ll not only hold its value but could very well go even higher.

A Great Way To Add More Star Power to Your Collection 

By featuring cards of top NHL stars such as Ovechkin, Crosby, Draisaitl, Forsberg, Matthews, Pastrnak and the special McDavid achievement card, collectors have an instant opportunity to add some instant star power to their collections. The cards are bright, bold and would look great in individual cases or as a set hanging on the wall. Whichever way you choose to collect and display them, it’s an investment well worth showcasing.
