First up, we have the rest of a missing insert set with the 2000-2001 McDonalds checklist set. I wasn't expecting to be able to complete a set out of these cards, but I'll take it.
With them are two painfully hard cards to keep because of those metal wheels sticking out. Definitely appreciate the uniqueness, but for keeping, they are a bit of a pain. Neat way to highlight where they have great carrer stats against certain teams.
We have a few additional 3D cards from the mid-90s when Pinnacle was involved with the McDonalds cards. These tended to curve top and bottom slightly, which these ones all do as well.
The bulk of the cards happened to be from the 2000-2001 year. Was able to add a bunch of base cards as shown here but also some parallels...
A whole bunch of blue. They should have really gone with a slightly different colour for the name as it looks a bit lost, just showing as an outline here.Other than that, really nice looking cards and I like them better than the base.
We end with a few odds and sods of other McD years.
and a die cut...
Okay. kinda neat to have the mess netting cut outs at the top for a goalie card, even if it is Luongo. At least it's not Roy.
I've never seen the 00-01 McD's set. My wife has a bunch of the '97 Ice Breakers but she's missing Coffey. I'll have to get one for my Whalers collection one day.
ReplyDeleteWould you like some fries with that? LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff! Love seeing these older sets. I had a few of those 3D cards as a kid and thought they were the coolest thing back then.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely as a kid, I remember seeing 3D cards and thinking they were awesome!
DeleteLove those mid 90's Pinnacle lenticular McDonald's cards. Great looking cards.
ReplyDeleteVoting for the Lindros parallel. Such a frustrating player / era for Flyers fans. (:
