Memories, how they fade so fast.... (if you catch this song lyric reference, let me know in a PM)

We got this card years and years ago. I don't remember the story behind them, other than the fact that they were supposedly very rare (we have 2 of them, one is graded/slabbed and the one I scanned here is "raw" - I got it specifically so we could put it in the binder with the other Yzerman collection cards.

I might be mistaking this for a promo set, but I thought there was also a Lemieux. Again, I just don't remember anymore.

Does anyone have any info about this card/set? I'd like to get the set listed here. Thanks.

Edit to add: I just looked in my old access file, and I see that I have listed a "Front Row" variation regarding it. Not sure what I meant by that. :)

I don't have any info on it as this is the first time I'm seeing it, but this sets the new "record" for contrast between great front image vs. terrible back image.

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.

Looks like it might be part of a small promo set (7 cards total?). Here's a blog post that features the Trevor Linden card from the set:

And here's an Instagram post that shows the card backs for 7 different players:

You're very welcome, Dan! If I come across any more info (or any copies of these cards in the wild), I'll let you know.

Set has been added, including my scans (updated back scan - missed a crop there). Linked the thread to the set.

Now to scour the house for that other card to see if there was any difference!

Never seen this card even though I used to collect Stevie Y. ------------------------------- Paul Trying to collect every card for the Philadeplphia Flyers. Lofty goal and a long way to go. The thrill of the hunt.

Apparently there's 2 variations of the Gretzky card, with and without the Front Row logo.

Hockey set collector including inserts, ERR, COR, VAR. Knowledgeable about 1968-69 to 1994-95 hockey.

All 1990 and newer cards for trade are NRMT. Expect the same in return. 1989 and older are assigned a grade. Everything on my trade list is available for sale. Reasonable prices based on condition. If it's not on my tradelist, it's not available.

That must be what I meant in my access file where I called one "Front Row Variation". Do we know if the whole set has both versions?
