The 2007 NHL All-Star Trading Card and Memorabilia Show, presented by Upper Deck and McFarlane Toys, will feature unique collectibles from 16 hobby stores during the two-day event at the NorthPark Center in Dallas, Jan. 20-21. The show will be part of the 2007 NHL All-Star Celebration.

Fans will be able to purchase special All-Star collectibles from Upper Deck, and obtain four three-card wrapper redemption sets featuring Dallas Stars players and NHL All-Stars.

McFarlane Toys will sell Mike Modano action figures available only during the two-day event. In addition, Todd McFarlane, CEO of McFarlane Toys and minority owner of the Edmonton Oilers, and former NHL players will be on hand to sign autographs.

Fans also will be able to purchase the official NHL All-Star Game Program, and a commemorative poster designed by Charles Fazzino. Collectors who are interested in trading pins can visit the All-Star Pin Trading Zone. In addition, Hockey Hall of Famer Gordie Howe will make an appearance at the Upper Deck booth on Sunday afternoon.

The centerpiece of the card and memorabilia show is the Stanley Cup and 17 other NHL trophies that recognize the individual efforts and collective achievements of the league's athletes and teams.
