Remember when expansion was a HUGE deal in the early 90s? I mean the San Jose Sharks were first, but the following years with Ottawa, Florida and Tampa Bay, it was quite the time for the push of hockey, especially into the southern US.
This year saw many sets push to include the Sharks, and the posed pictures here are what we got to include them in the O Pee Chee release. I get it, and the draw to include them sooner than later. Still not sure it was a great success right off the bat. Definitely more a slow build compared to what Vegas was able to do in the late 2010s.
Is it bad that the Ricci card reminds me of the Ken Griffey Jr gigantism scene in The Simpsons? I mean, dudes head takes up so much of the card....someone save this man!
Ricci looks so young there. When he arrived in San Jose, my friends and I would call him Captain Caveman. He was definitely a huge fan favorite.
