Year: 1995-96

Set: SkyBox Impact (Rate)

Card: #194 Jon Klemm


“ Impact was used only once in the NBA, in 1999-00. I didn't know the name had a legacy in the world of cards until I joined the Database, now several years ago. It turns out I tend to like the sets using that name in other sports more than I like the design of the NBA release. This is no exception. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Not a huge fan of this design. Like Skybox in general. Hate designs with the foil/leaf lettering like this one. Very Difficult to read them in real life can't read them online. Also no stats even though he is a rookie there should be either his last minor league stuff or college if this was the base card. ” -captkirk42

“ This was okay nice front pictures kinda blah backs though. Great defenceman won 2 cups with the Aves. ” -uncaian

“ There were much better product options that year. Of course, there were worse too. At least these generally had very nice photography. ” -vrooomed

“ What's up with no stats on the back of the card? Really dislike that. ” -carthage44

“ When sinks in that this guy is a 2-time Stanley Cup Champion, it really cheapens the idea of being a Stanley Cup Champion. ” -wax_house

“ For the '90s, this was a great sweater. The Avs tried to modernize it in the EDGE template, but I think they need to go to a simple striping pattern with their colors. ” -jlaz10

“ I will guess that maybe his name is in that stripe on the side. I do like the back. I sort cards by player, so lack of stats doesn't bother me. There's always another card of the same guy close by with stats. ” -switzr1

“ Didn't like the design of anything SkyBox. A totally useless set in my opinion. ” -suomibear8

Regarding no stats: This isn't the first "Rookie" card that has shown up on here that had no stats. I will offer this, generally, rookies have no stats yet. :) So card companies will rely on a writeup to fill the void.

I have added a large portion of my inventory to the site, and currently have trading turned off (details are in my profile). I have (finally) unearthed my 2 very large boxes of Star Company minor league sets and they are available (email for details).

I have some cards from this set.  The rookies with the foil tended to flake off and the cards mostly ended up looking dreadful.  An absolutly horrible design.  the only skybox set i liked because it was different was skybox emotion.

This guy played in the minors I'm sure so where are those stats? All sports cards should have stats on the back of the cards even if they are minor league stats. At least that's my opinion because I LOVE STATS!!!
