Foreign issue cards???

[eoerikson3]

Since the lockout sent players to play in Europe and elsewhere has anyone been manufacturing cards for those teams, leagues and players? I am curious if there are any Joe Thornton cards in a non-NHL based uniform. (Davos)

I'm not sure, but I think I remember someone posting pics of a European local team set on one of the sites.

I posted the Finnish Cardset CL a while ago...here's a link to that thread:

As far as other leagues, I would say there would be some cards made.

EDIT: I just found a CL for a few Russian sets.

Also, there's a set for the DEL, and the Swedish Elit has put out a set. And some teams have made sets, such as postcards or cards.

Thanks,
Vik

Here's some of the manufacturers' websites - all of these companies have put out sets this year.

Cardset Finland - http://www.cardset.fi/

German DEL / Playercards - http://www.playercards.com/

Swedish Alfa Stars - http://www.alfabilder.com/

Swedish Cardset / The Card Cabinet - http://www.thecardcabinet.com/

I have been unable to locate websites for Czech or Russian sets.. and am unsure if there are any Swiss sets that have been released.

The DEL cards look pretty nice, I just picked up a Schultz on ebay. Must be a decent sized set - Schultz is card #200. Nice pictures and design.
