Hello. I am asking for information on this card.

I have found this card on Ebay but I cannot for the life of me find what set it belongs to. If its Topps or O-Pee-Chee. It says its the 2003 Topps Fan Favorites Vintager Card, but still has all the markings for OPC. The Topps Logo is down on the front of the card embossed in the black area of his jersey above the highlights banner.

Please help as I would like to add this card to the right set it belongs to.

TIA

Unfortunately that is the original from the 89-90 set. This one is different as it is embossed in the corner of the photo there. bassmon wrote: https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/4868/cid/1186902/1989-90-O-Pee-Chee-327-Mario-Lemieux

Hi - I think these came in 2002-03 or 2003-04 O-Pee-Chee, basically they did a "buy-back" and stamped the card. I have a Dave Ellet card from the same insert set, but not sure I was able to find it on tcdb either.

It's a buyback. They did the same for baseball. https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/15186/2003-Topps-All-Time-Fan-Favorites---Vintage-Embossed-Buybacks?PageIndex=1#2129952 ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

Is there an actual announced checklist for this buyback effort or is it like most of the recent Topps ones where who knows until it's seen?

The baseball buybacks had a checklist with print run. Don't know why they wouldn't do the same for hockey.
