2020-21 Topps Stickers "Hockey Classics"

[Netorack]

Someone gave a thought or two while preparing this subset in the new sticker collection:

Here are some of the most obvious references... My personal favourite must be the Pastrnak one.

Those are pretty cool.

Thanks for sharing this. I thought the design tributes were cool enough but having similar images and matching the teams is just awesome.

Exhibit #1 why Topps needs a hockey license.

I cannot begin to describe just how much I love these. Are they out yet? Anyone know if they are available in the States, and where?

I'll have to hunt for a copy of the Price! Well done Topps!!

 

[creasecollector]

Well done, Topps! I like these a lot!

I so wish my 7 year old nephew took an interest in anything other than Roblox. This would be fun to collect with him.

These are sweet! Appreciate the heads up with the post, I grabbed a Kopi when buying a couple others from the set too for my PC. Love the thought they put in trying to mix it up within this sticker set. Would be great to see Topps with a license again

I was bored tonight and I'm really digging this effort by Topps so I tried to match up the best I could. No science to this so there could very well be a better example out there I overlooked.

What a savage post! Nice work

Makes me sad seeing what collectors COULD have, we're the losers here.

That said, I hope Topps opens the purse strings and buys in on the licensing next round or just buys UD, what a win for all that would be.

Well done on those comparison shots!

picked up 13 packs from a fresh box at Target this morning after seeing the Retro cards and pulled 3 (2 Malkin and a Tavares).this year there is one "prismatic" per pack and apparently a subset of Mascots including a group photo puzzle! Topps is sorely missed,these are alot of fun!

What perfect comparisons! Thanks for all the work! I was already looking to buy this 21-card subset, but your comparison sealed the deal on how much cooler they are now because you found their 'twin' the designers (might) have used for reference.

The Travis Konecny Flyers card design is from 1977. Hard to find a perfect match, but here are 4 cards. Three are photos from the 'waist up', like Travis' card...but personally, I would pick the goalie card because it's the only one from that 1977 set that has a Flyers player posing for the camera.

The Topps NOW NHL Stickers from 2019-20 also had some 'chase' stickers with a retro design:

I love these too! Thanks for sharing

Anyone looking for this set, there's a seller on ebay selling these specific cards for a $1Cdn a sticker. They have the whole set available. Just bought a set now. Cheap shipping too.

Thanks Netorack and JR for the great posts on this! Ahhh...nostalgia. : )
Takes me back to the time when a child could enjoy a hobby now reserved for middle-aged men with six figure incomes. ; )

 

[JTMcCool]

Now that's some nice attention to detail! Topps did a great job here. Thanks for sharing!

Could not find the checklist thread for these stickers. Not sure if there is one?
But any ways, was just wondering if each sticker has a photo variation like this Anders Lee #316 I have?
