I always found it strange that when the WHA merged, we got three cool logo cards and one team picture. Would have been cool to have had a Nordiques logo card as well.. #hockeycards #wha

This thread… 💯

Mike Bossy has passed away at the age of 65. I still recall the night he scored 50 in 50 like it was y’day. The HOF member of Trio Grande won 4 straight Cups w/ Isles, netted 50 goals in each of his 1st 9 seasons, ending career prematurely w/ 572 goals & 1,126 pts in 752 games.

HOFer & Hab legend Guy Lafleur has passed away at the age of 70. Few stars had a run like Guy. From 74-75 through 79-80, the 5x Cup champ had 6 straight 50 goal seasons, incl 60 in 77-78, earned 3 Art Rosses, 2 Harts, and was the catalyst for Montreal’s 4 consecutive Cups.

Dairy Queen hockey puck sundae cups from the late 70s. Why can’t we still have nice things?

Ideal way to save up for 1972 hockey cards.

From the “under the radar” files: Mike Rogers is in elite company. He is 1 of only 4 players to have scored 100+ points in their first 3 NHL seasons, the others being Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux and Peter Stastny.

Everything you always wanted in a beer commercial. Ex-Oiler goalie Jacques Plante, plus Boom-Boom Geoffrion, speaking French for an American audience:

The battle rages on - should we collect hockey STICKERS or CARDS? This year's album, with Gretzky and Rick Green on the cover, once again includes shiny FOIL cards, trophies and 2 pages of Oilers. Nice: you can mail away for missing stickers. Are traditional cards dying?

Based on the shape of the stick and puck, any post-WHA answers are wrong.

The NHL lost a legend today with the passing of Bobby Hull at 84. Bobby won a Cup with Hawks in ‘61, captured 7 goal scoring titles, 3 Art Rosses & 2 Harts. But his biggest impact to hockey was adding star power and standing up to owners during critical post-expansion & WHA eras.

The card on the left could tell a story. I remember finding it on the ground in the schoolyard back in the day. Weird how we can remember things like this.. #NHLBruins

I have a feeling an old teammate of his was involved. Who knows the back story?

O-Pee-Chee Stars Ron Sedlbauer's Family owned Cougar Shoes and Ron is or was the head of the company after retiring from hockey

OHC, hold my Eddy Beers for a minute…

Time for a comprehensive review of 1983-84 O-Pee-Chee hockey cards; once again each pack of 14 cards costs 25¢. Each team set includes a memorable moment from the past season, and the greatest is the co-Messier-Gretzky card mentioning the Oilers 424 goal record. Dive in: [1/8]

Pick two..

I first started collecting bottle caps before the hockey cards and that was the beginning.
