Year: 2014-15

Set: Upper Deck Masterpieces - Memorabilia Framed Red Cloth (Rate)

Card: #109 Dale Hawerchuk


“ Cool! These are very nicely done art cards. Some of them look like a photo at first glance. Is it weird that I hold it against the Coyotes that they used to be the Jets and moved, but I don't hold it against the current Jets, which used to be the Thrashers? Maybe it's because it seems like they are writing a wrong. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ I always say for football and hockey they should put an unhelmeted picture. This is one person that should keep the helmet on. ” -davidhandberry

“ Great player and rare to see an Upper Deck memorabilia card with some actual content on the back (and not just the "Congratulations!" message). Not a big fan of the painted art and would have preferred a photo. ” -bevans

“ Great I have a question on value of a card I have. Who do i ask ” -Princess

“ Why does the border on the left intrude onto the photo? A blob of foil for no reason. ” -rmpaq5

“ Loved the 08-09 Masterpieces set, will have to keep an eye out for this one as well. Hoping that Dale recovers quickly from his recent surgery. ” -rmitchell6700

“ Nice relic card. UD Masterpieces is a cool set. ” -captkirk42

“ He looks like a show-room dummy. Weird. ” -cjjt

“ Love the young picture. Dale wad a great Sabre! Almost forgot he played for Winnipeg. He was great for both. Interesting to see a current card show his Jet days. ” -muskie027

“ I don't like the wallpaper vibe on the sides. He looks more like a Yevgeny than a Dale. It baffles me that so many hockey players went sans helmet for so long. On a more positive note, it's a patch card and I've actually heard of the player. ” -Uncorrected Error

Dale is battling cancer right now so put in a good word for him. Seems like its beatable, but cancer is rarely predictable.

I'm mostly organizing over adding right now.

Seems a little "wax museum like" and also odd to me that they actually had to include the word "JERSEY" on the card as I'm not sure what else that patch could be. Onn the positive side a good player though.

That's not a patch. A patch is from the logo, lettering, or numbers. That's just a memorabilia piece...sometimes called a swatch. 

The blob of foil ont the left is the Masterpieces writing. It's hard to see but it's there. 

I'm no fan of cancer as is well documented, there's nothing in the world I hate more. Hoping he can beat it!

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.

Nice to have a COTD. This is an awesome set and always liked the Masterpieces sets. Goal is to get this set completed. 


-------------------------------

Trying to acquire one card for every for every set, insert, parralle, minor, euro, team issue, oddball etc sets produced for Hockey. Been an interesting project.
