I was hoping to also find the die cut version of this card, but not today.

When this MVP set first came out, I bought 2 or 3 fat packs and missed a Henrik card of any kind altogether. I thought that this was a cool parallel, but with Upper Deck having a sole proprietorship of the Hockey Card market, I find that they can get a bit lazy in terms of overusing photos. I think I have 3 or 4 different cards (and not parallels, either) with this same photo being used. Hell, look 2 cards up if you don't believe me.

Overall, I enjoyed collecting much more during the mid 90's. Not only were new printing techniques and art styles coming out year after year, but with so many companies in the market, it forced them all to put their best foot forward. I hate to end this list on a sour note, yet I am forced to.

Happy collecting, and see you at the Fall Expo on the first weekend of November!!
