“ This may be the most bland, boring design ever used on a hockey card. Of course because I collect the sport it won't stop me from collecting them. In fact I think I have more of this parallel than the base set that year. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ any hockey card is great ” -Tmac7

“ O-Pee-Chee retro is either hit or miss for me. I like the pic of a great goalie in the dear Pekka. The rest of the card seems to be lacking on the design end of things. ” -Gunny

“ If I PC'd someone and had a bunch of cards of them that all looked the same, I'd be really happy about a card like this. Not sure I'd want a whole set though, it's very stark. ” -jackal726

“ Not fond of this card and don't know why. Maybe some of the other comments will help me put my finger on it I like Hockey cards in general, just don't like this one. ” -Camstone

“ Not bad but I think there's too much white on the card. ” -Phil

“ An ok card. My favorite part is the old OPC logo on the back. ” -karsal

“ A little boring. ” -muskie027

I just checked...I have 11 of these retro parallels, but only 10 base cards. I hope to change that ratio some day.

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.

53 base cards and 8 retros. Not my favorite retro design. Quite boring. Reminds me of 1994-95 Parkhurst Vintage.

A hockey card for the card of the day. Nothing wrong with that

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.

Goalie cards are the best!  You have art in the mask, the setup (pads, glove & blocker) in contrast to the jersey color, and the white ice with awesome lighting to bring it all together.

I agree with Gunny.   Great photo of the goalie.   But the card????
