One of the Miracle Men

On and off we see insert sets within NHL hockey sets which have an international (or national) patriotic theme to them. I can think of a couple base subset examples too thinking back to early 90s Parkhurst for an example.

I can get behind such inserts, even if not Canadian in nature. Today's highlight is an example of such.

Highlight:

This insert out of Legendary Signatures is from the Miracle Men insert set (as it says on the card). As the name suggests, I think these cards are well set up to be signed, but even without, a decently different design as a "normal" card. As for what this set highlights - the miracle men of 1980 which won Olympic gold for the US team.

The rest
Keepers:

The Rookie Update cards out of 2002-03 are both printing error cards I will keep as the card backs are slightly off and you can see the back of the card beside for a few millimeters.
