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
