1991-1992 Stadium Club Hockey: Not sure I ever picked these up back in the day but I know I liked its baseball counterpart. Photography as always is at a premium on these.
The card design is pretty simplistic. The photos are a bit dated as they feel darker than what we are used to today. Might be due to technology or maybe just how arenas are lighted now.
Love how they show a past card of the player on the back. Sporting News was a big sponsor of this set. You see their scouting report on the back and there is a separate card in each pack promoting the magazine. I subscribed to Sporting News for a long time and was a big fan so this was fun to see. Overall these backs are pretty cool and I like how they incorporated the ice as the background.
I may not be the biggest hockey fan but I do enjoy hockey cards. This was a fun pack looking for greats of the game and also seeing some of the different jerseys and franchises from years past.

I really like this set, great photography. One of the first packs I found and opened after I began collecting the sport in 2017.
ReplyDeleteThat's cool. Stadium Club was something we could all get into back in the day across the different sports.
DeleteGreat set. Hope to find a cheap one in a binder at a card show or flea market one day.
ReplyDeleteFound this pack in a card shop. Didn't even remember that Stadium Club did hockey back then.
