Not as much of an identify this card, but I can't find it in the data base anywhere.....is there even a listing for these cards?
It says it is from the "1992 CFL Collection" but that doesn't come up anywhere. I did find online it was given out a a collectibles show at the Sky Dome back in 1992....but nothing else :( It is not listed with Grey Cup cards either. Is there a way to add this without really adding it to a set? Add it to the listing for Grey Cup? Or does anyone have a checklist or any other info from this set?????
(Images swiped from comc.....thanks....will scan my own once we find it a home)

I researched this card recently because I have it also. it's listed on E-bay in various forms but the closest I've found to it on here is https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/102621/1991-Arena-Holograms . Hard to find concrete information on the set. I've also seen where there was a 1992 version from Arena but I can find no checklist to work off of.

Given the era, and the fact that their are no listings anywhere I can find for 1993 Arena Holograms, it would not surprise me that this was given out as a Promo for the 1992 set, and the company went under before it was produced and distributed.

That card was definitely a contemporary of this Arena product; 1992 Joe Gibbs Racing, which was included in a set that was marketed by "Leader Enterprises".
I wonder if the mentioned "CFL Collection" set was actually produced by another company, not Arena themselves. Could this hologram have been inserted in the All World or JOGO products?

Found this discriptor "Arena Trading Cards produced this Grey Cup Trophy hologram card. It was released at the 1992 Toronto Sky Dome card show." on beckett site. It is possible this promo has not been placed on the site yet. I have cards that are not on here.

I found the same descriptor also, but would we list that as an individual card somewhere? Or should it be tied to a set?

If the Beckett information is accurate, then yes, it would be listed as a promo set with a checklist of one card.

There were never any other CFL cards or holograms that were produced by Arena Holograms to go along with this hologram card.
