I had no interest in this set.....until I saw those previews!

Nice work ITG team! Thanks again Brian for showing them here. Along with the true nostalgia feel...dare I say..."gum"? It looks like this might be one I try for, should be a blast.


I know it's too late, but what about a Little Known Trivia insert set. For example, Les Binkley was in net for what future HOF'er for his first NHL goal? You could picture Les on one side and Mario on the other

I'm confused, Glenn (which happens a lot)

Les retired in 1976 from the WHA

Mario Lemieux scored his first goal against Pete Peeters of Boston
with Denis Herron in net for the Pens

Did I read your post wrong?

Here's some trivia too!

On April 11, 1975, Les faced daredevil Evel Knievel in a shootout contest between periods of a Toronto Toros WHA game. Knieval earned $10,000 for beating Binkley on two of four penalty shots.

Uh oh...I have been mislead! I never thought to check the authenticity when someone threw that trivia at me. Glad you corrected me. An even better card in my mind

I like what I'm hearing on the price point. Should be a lot of fun. Also, it's great to have Dr. Price posting on here about this and other products.
