Only one repeat - the Sundin card - rest are new to me, which is great, and from two of the sets I really like - the 2003-04 which is "die cut" and 1997-98 Ice. Very nice pick ups all around.
Well - can't get more direct on what I found in the Santa Lot 20 today...
Highlights:
At this point Antropov had been a Leaf his whole 7 year career whereas Blake was just starting with Toronto after 8 years between the Kinds and Islanders. Blake was coming off his best offensive year to date with 40 goals. If only the Leafs were able to succeed as a team during this period...
The rest
Keepers:
A few more keepers for the 2007-08 Upper Deck set best of which would be Khabibulin in my opinion - was one of the best in the league at his high point.
Traders:
I'm trying to tell if Heap is keeping to the addage of keeping your eye on the ball, or if there is a bit too much fear of possibly dropping it in his look...

The 1997-98 Ice McDonald's set takes me back - I love it. I have some intentions on picking up a few McDonald's sets from back in the day.
ReplyDeleteAlmost all McDonalds sets I recall were unique enough and had something special to remember them by - obvious with the Ice cards, the die cuts from 2003-04 - even the earlier, as simple as the McDonalds symbol foil marking on the early 90s set.
