Year: 1995-96
Set: Leaf (Rate)
Card: #286 Neal Broten
“ Really like this set...really kicking myself for not getting into hockey sooner. 1995-96 season was when my school had floor hockey, and I loved it. The only sport I was actually good at playing...but my eyesight is so bad that trying to watch hockey on TV didn't work for me, because I couldn't follow what was going on. It wasn't until the perfect storm of getting a smart phone and my TV dying, which led to me watching TV on the phone, that allowed me to finally get into the NHL. That happened in November, and now it's something that's a part of every day of my life. Instead of being in my first season I could have been in my 21st...add another regret to the pile. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ Side banners have a magnetic attraction to my eyes; and it's bothersome. Other than that this would be an excellent card series to collect. I don't follow hockey, but I assume the circled "C" is the player's position - I like that touch. ” -Sportzcommish
“ Rotten Broten. Gotta love a tough guy ” -Lennoxmatt
“ Had to be 1990s hard to read player name. Wow no foil on this one. Back with just one year or stats looks more like a CCG card than a regular trading card. ” -captkirk42
“ Great player , one of the best American born players ever. ” -uncaian
“ Not a whole lot going on here. ” -carthage44
“ "Do you believe in miracles? Yes!" ” -Slug03
“ Looks like the front and back pictures were taken in the same game, a few seconds apart. ” -olerud363
“ Nice Card! ” -kirkscards
“ Miracle on Ice member. 1980 US Hockey -- greatest sports event in my life. Nothing comes close. ” -cjjt
“ Solid enough card. Broten was a real good player. Never collected a Leaf hockey set, but this would have been a good one. What do these companies have about listing full year by year stats. That will always be points off. ” -muskie027
