My dad was a long haul truck driver so when he fueled up he'd be eligible to buy lots of them. He'd come home after a couple of days on the road with like 30 "packs". My brother and I each had a complete album of these. Lord knows whatever happened to them. They were really cool because this was one of the first sticker sets that included the whole NHL not just regional, I'd love to own it again

That is the exact expression I make when someone brings food to a party after midnight.

Collected these voraciously as a kid and love the set to this day. Still have my complete set in an album. There was an option to purchase any stamps you needed to complete your set. You could also buy much smaller stickers featuring basic stats for each player. They were designed to affix under each respective player in the album.
