The Seventy-Fifth 1/1 card in my Enroth card collection is finally here. I could think of no better way of clinching this milestone than with a Made To Order card from President’s Choice Trading Cards.

Going back to the days of In The Game (ITG), former ITG president Brian Price had the unique idea to release redemption cards for a Made To Order card. This redemption program allowed the collector to hand-pick a player of their choosing from the list that was available. Their player selection(s) would be then made into a 1/1 custom memorabilia card. There was also autographed Made To Order cards released as well.

After his departure from the industry for a few years, and the rise of his new venture (President’s Choice Trading Cards), Dr. Price has brought back this opportunity for collectors to have a Made To Order (MTO) card of their favourite player.

2024 President’s Choice Made To Order 1/1I’ve seen various MTO cards over the years, and I’ve always thought they were the coolest thing. After a few hobby friends pulled the trigger on some over the past little while, I decided to throw my hobby hat into the ring. After a few emails and a lightning quick turnaround, the card was in-hand.

This card features an emblem from one of Enroth’s LA Kings away jersey’s, a piece of the fight-strap, along with some pieces of Enroth’s blocker and glove he also wore during the 2015-16 season with the Kings, but those gloves was from a special set of gear he had created during the 4 games LA wore their 50th Anniversary Retro jersey’s. He wore this glove and blocker in practices, warm-ups and as a backup during the following 4 games:

– November 10th, 2015 on Nick Nickson Night, a 3-2 loss to the Arizona Coyotes.
– February 9, 2016, a 9-2 victory over the Bruins in Boston. This was the 50th Anniversary of the day the Kings were granted their NHL franchise in 1967.
– February 23rd, 2016 on Mike Donnelly Night, a 2-1 victory over the Calgary Flames.
– March 7th, 2016 on Jimmy Carson Night, a 5-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks.I couldn’t be happier with the card design and memorabilia pieces selected for this card! This is one I will enjoy for many years to come. Thanks again, Brian!

Have you ever owned a Made To Order card? If so, which players are on this special card?

Happy Collecting,

As an added bonus, it looks like this card creation has inspired a new set for President’s Choice with the new line of Complete Package cards! Very cool.
