Year: 1970-71

“ I like this design. ” -Brendan Barrick

“ Ohh, vintage hockey, nice! I wish I had gotten the chance to experience the North Stars. Green and yellow are my favorite colors so I probably would have rooted for them. Of course, the team still exists, but is now in Dallas and doesn't wear yellow. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Nice, I really like it. Both front and back. ” -Thomas_Kava

“ I love it. The drawn characters on the back by the card number are a big plus for me as well as the font for the teams on the front. ” -rmpaq5

“ Awesome. Cool old card. But I always hated the white dots on the cards in this set. Not sure what they add to the design or what they are supposed to be. They look like someone used a pencil eraser on the card. ” -cjjt

“ When collecting the older hockey cards, I always prefer the OPC over the Topps. ” -Mscott713

“ This is a very nice card, but I don't like the abbreviation for Minnesota. ” -muskie027

“ Front is ok for the era, but the back is great forever. He looks more like an accountant than a hockey player though. ” -davidhandberry

Guessing here but I think the white dots were meant to simulate spotlights being shined on the player.

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.

McKechnie had a nice long NHL career and was a decent second or third-line forward. He moved around an awful lot, though, and is one of those guys that earned the nickname "Suitcase." This is the second year of hockey cards I collected as a kid the nostalgic feelings really kick in whenever I look at these.

Vintage hockey, what's not to like. ------------------------------- 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.
