Year: 1997-98

Set: Upper Deck Black Diamond - Premium Cut Quadruple Diamond Horizontal (Rate)

“ I love the etched foil Upper Deck used for the Black Diamond cards. It scans like garbage but it looks so nice in hand. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ This was 1 tough card to get, very nice early Black Diamond effort from Upper Deck , that nowadays is a super high-end(expensive) product. ” -baseballcardstoreca

“ Great photo and great design. ” -parsley24

“ Reminds me of A Christmas Story when the kid gets his tongue stuck. ” -davidhandberry

“ Need it for my Sundin collection. Love the photo of the faceoff on the back of the card. ” -rmitchell6700

“ Never been a fan of the Black Diamond designs usually they are way too dark and that is in hand even before getting to attempt scans. Not a fan of unusual die-cuts either, or normal die-cuts much. Front has a nice picture is there any text there other than the premium cut logo (the PC looks a lot like "DC") The back is bad I don't know where to begin. ” -captkirk42

“ The card looks pretty cool, but when the name of the set and subset needs two lines, it is a sign that maybe the set has too much to it. Nice Sabre cameo on the back!!!! ” -muskie027

As muskie027 alluded to, this set definitely had a lot of parallels and variations for its time. The horizontal quadruple premium cuts were tough to find. The base set is nice though, with some good rookie cards featuring the players in their national team jerseys (Luongo, Lecavalier, Tanguay, the Sundin twins). Nice Elias RC, too.

Just for the record, the longest set name I've encountered is: 2004-05 Upper Deck Diamond Collection All-Star Lineup Pick the NBA All-Star Starting Lineup! And yes, the exclamation point is part of the set name.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

Maybe we should start a thread to see who can come up with the longest. Thanks for the reply and that is a real long one!!
