1994-95 Action Packed Big Picture Hockey Forum

No

For the football version, the Badge of Honor pins exist. I have 2 full sets of them, one each with the different position on the back of the TM info. With the gold version though, I would not trust any seller because they can be altered: Use heat to remove the picture. Iif you have the gold pin you could substitute a superstar picture in its place. Instant $$$

Great explanation of why not.  No wonder members leave this site or stop contributing.

My hockey knowledge is limited so I do not know how these were distributed. If they were promo cards for an upcoming set that were inserted into packs of an earlier release they would be an insert set in that release. If they were given to LCS shops to hand out at the store stand alone.

Brevity is the soul of wit

I think Ed is starting to see what we all see - we have a small group of people who are attempting to fix things (and in the process answer as many questions in the forums as possible) - all doing it strictly "by the book" (or at least as close to the rules and guidelines as possible as they are specified here).

As we answer the questions (the same questions that pop up month after month because no one seems to want to attempt a search in the forums or, in many cases, even read the other forum threads already there for a specific set), we see ire aimed at us for simply stating the rules that if Admin had to step in to answer every one of these questions, would give the same answer.

We don't offer these answers as "opinion" - we offer them as "site rules and guidelines". But many members don't want to accept them as such. And it gets frustrating explaining the same things over and over.

The answer "No" is correct. Succinct, and possibly terse, but correct. Because, according to the rules that are currently in place, the "unreleased" sets should not be listed (topic for another thread, literally), therefore the Promo set for an unreleased set would only be able to exist here as a standalone (since there would be no full set for them to be associated with).

Dan, there is a standalone "unreleased" set listed and identified as cancelled. That's why the question was posed. We technically have a duplicate set listed. 

The same situation exists for the other Action Packed Promo sets.

Hmm I do have a pack of Coastars, it must be that promo one with Selanne. I'll have to take a look at it.

Apologies for not going into more detail on my response, but like Dan said, any test issues or promos for a set that never got released would just be listed as separate issues, not inserts/related on a non-existent set. The recent late-90s Pinnacle discussion is an example

Drat, its the same one as the promo.
