“ The Quint-essential hockey set to own? The card has more positives than negatives. The good: A full-size photo showing the player ready to react and the Skybox logo is visible and out of the way. The bad: The side banner's mixture of color and transparent lettering and the lack of a bottom banner for the "Rookie" overlay. ” -Sportzcommish

“ Foil waste on left side. I'm pretty sure in person these are fairly easy to read, this scan however very difficult as foil doesn't scan well. At least they had a license to show logos otherwise there would be no way of knowing which team this rookie was on. Back very very plain but at least you can read his name and see that he is on the Winnipeg Jets. ” -captkirk42

“ Love the old Jets logo. ” -rmpaq5

“ The back of the card is weak. ” -carthage44

“ Typical 90s design, foil makes it hard to read ” -Lennoxmatt

“ Nice card. Hopefully someday I'll add a copy to my collection. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Quint's career has lasted longer than this product , thankfully. Shane Doan & him are the last active players from the "original Jets." ” -uncaian

“ I never knew Skybox did hockey. Not bad. I would have like these. ” -muskie027

“ Very weird card ” -Bargunmaster

I like the photography of Skybox Impact. I think they generally did a great job of capturing the moment across all sports. Deron may not be happy with the expression the photagrapher captured with this card. But generally Skybox did a pretty good job. I hate text in foil. Maybe I'm getting old and my eyes are bad, but I don't want to have to work to read a player's name on a card. The back of this card is a fail. I'm not a huge fan of Skybox's backside in any sport, but this one is really bad. But the back is only half the story, the frontside is great (minus the foil).

My two-cents is worth slightly more than a penny.
