Stampman Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 I found some more.I was hoping to get to these sooner, and I have some more to look for.First, Doug Risebrough seems to be saying--"Get off my hockey card!"Which is better than a later year's card where Doug seems crowded off his own card by an opposing player's butt- Comic Sans walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve your type here."

Stampman Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Dennis Maruk expresses disgust at being transferred to Cleveland-Henry Boucha is glad to be transferred to Colorado, as he can't find any leg warmers in Kansas City that match his headband...Okay--and it looks odd to see players playing without helmets.

Stampman Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Okay--first I find this odd, just because I got so used to this guy as a coach, but he was a player before that--and he looks so young...Then an airbrushed jersey, that isn't any team's.Maybe they didn't know where he would end upBTW--does anybody want to trade for a Steve Durbano card?I have 5 or 6 of this one- Comic Sans walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve your type here."

Stampman Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 So here's a Steve Christoff card--this picture was taken when he was a Calgary Flame--before they traded him to the Minnesota North Stars.So they airbrush him into a North Stars uniform, but after that's done he's traded to the LA Kings--so there he is in an airbrushed uni with "Now with Los Angeles" typed on the card.I find that amusing-What's odd about the Warren Skorodenski card?Besides the ugly mask?Well it's for him being the Save Percentage leader for the previous season-technically yes--but he played 1396 minutes in 27 games--so barely qualified for this stat as the league leader--he had a reputation as a sieve. And the 84-85 season was the one he played the most games in (That being the one mentioned above--27 games)The second most games he played in one season is 3. He did that twice. In total he played in 35 games in his NHL career. So it was shocking to see him as a league leader in a good category.

yauger72 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 This topic can't exist without:Furthermore, in the "clean" category...Herb Washington's 1975 Topps baseball card is the only card ever produced listing his position as "Pinch Runner":Since Herb never batted, his stat line is...well...interesting.Funny thing, Herb owned my local hockey team for the three years they were around.

Stampman Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 that and the Kings logo appears to be recolored in either North Stars or California seals colors. can't tell if it's teal/gold or green/gold.It's actually blue & yellow--probably a "mis-inking" of purple.Some more--Here are some Flames with the logo airbrushed out, but the unis are Flames unis, and the players were still on the Flames at the time.Then I realized these cards are from the Flames' first season in Calgary--so they probably airbrushed out the Atlanta Flames' logo--kind of odd any way-This one--is just because-I'd give him a 5 game suspension for his bangs...Helmet head.Maybe his mom gave him a hard time about that--mine would have.

Stampman Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Just because it's been a few days--some more airbrushing--and don't worry--I'm not posting every airbrushed card out there--that would mean posting constantly and doing nothing else...These ones get posted for the helmet &/or hair look they give-- Comic Sans walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve your type here."

DG_ThenNowForever Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Was hockey card collecting especially big in Canada in the 1970s? 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Was hockey card collecting especially big in Canada in the 1970s?It's a bog country, and the 70's were a long time ago, so I can't say for everybody and every decade, but hockey cards were big when I was in the younger school grades, into junior high when it tailed off for my age group.But it was always big for younger kids-it really took off in the 90's and the market suffered from saturation.As far as I know they have been big since they existed, with some ups & downs--rather similar to baseball cards in the US.

Swiss Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 James Belushi, Blackhawks Was he in need raising an eyebrow so he seems serious? All old football cards were ridiculous it was called the Old Huck n' Buck PoseOUCH... poor right arm of his!Be honest: before today, how many of you ever saw this one:Better yet, how many of you actually own one? (Disclosure: I do.)EDIT: Killer mesh-back cap, BTW.Man, oh man, this cap is Bruce-Bochy sized.Take a look at Billy's left hand...I knew that card. But was it intentional from Billy? I mean, alots of times I was leaning on a bat regardless of the fingers I did over it and flashing the middle finger wasn't intentional from me.

Stampman Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 I have to add this one.It's supposed to be a Joel Otto card from when he was on the Flames, but the picture is not of Joel Otto, nor is it of a Flames uniform.Otto played most of his career with the Flames before spending his last three seasons with the Flyers.
