Sabres Blue Shield

Hello everyone!

I tried to search for a thread where there would have been discussion about these, but didn't find one, so I'm sorry if this comes as a double.

I have been wondering if there is a some kind of picture gallery about these, but I haven't found one anywhere. I have a few in my collection, but since these don't have years printed prior to 1990-91 season, I have no idea which seasons they are from and what I should have included in my wantlist.

The players I'm talking about are Daren Puppa, Mike Foligno and Christian Ruuttu.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Marko

There's some on ebay right now.

I would have put a picture of these I have here, but it seems that I'm not allowed to do that just yet. Well, I compared the eBay items to these of mine and came to a some kind of conclusion. I guess the 1987-88 season card is a bit shorter than the others and has an facsimile autograph instead of info, since that's the only year I'm missing here and I have two of those. Unless that's the Small-version, but I have been in understanding that the Small-versions are the size of a hockey card. Am I right?

There's also a small color variation in the 1988-89 and 1989-90 cards, the latter having a bit darker blue font in front. I also have a mystery postcard of Foligno, which is printed by Dexter Press, but I'm not sure if it's any official product. One with an autograph is currently on eBay, but that doesn't help either with what season it's from.
