COLLECTORS WORLD
INTERNATIONAL GUIDE The Hockey News Collectors World Price Guide is an attempt to accurately reflect the purchase prices of hockey cards. Remember, the Guide is just that. You may not find these cards at exactly the price listed. Our prices are the average of what the cards sell for across the United States and Canada. All prices are in Canadian funds. As of Dec. 14, the Canadian dollar was worth 86 cents U.S. Card prices will vary depending on geographic region. For example, you will likely pay more for a Brett Hull card in St. Louis than you will in Philadelphia. Hometown players command a premium in virtually all cases. Prices in the guide are for mint condition cards unless otherwise indicated. To determine the value of non-mint cards, please see the condition guide…
LEAFS WIN CUP…IN THE DESERT
The Leafs may be last in the NHL, but they’re tops in the deserts of Bahrain. A tough Leafs team—made up of Canadian crew members from the HMCS Protecteur involved in Operation Desert Shield—recently won the first ever Desert Cup championship. The Leafs defeated the Canucks—crew members from the HMCS Athabascan—3-2 in the final. Former Los Angeles and New York Ranger center Marcel Dionne presented the winning trophy. MISGUIDED TOUR Vancouver Canuck coach Bob McCammon was flabbergasted when told of rookie Gino Odjick’s recent sightseeing trip with his father during his dad’s first trip to Vancouver. “I told Gino Vancouver is the loveliest city on the continent,” says McCammon, “and he should show it to his father. So when he came to the dressing room the next day, I asked him what…
RANHEIM OUT TWO-TO-THREE MONTHS
FLAMES Left winger Paul Ranheim underwent surgery Dec. 12 to repair a broken fibula and tom ligaments in his right ankle. He’ll be sidelined for two to three months. The injury occured Dec. 11 against Minnesota (5-4 win) in a collision with defenseman Chris Dahlquist. On the play, Ranheim lost his balance and went crashing into the comer. His leg came up pointed at a sickening angle. Afterwards, teammates said the bone was protruding through the skin. “He gave out a little yell before he went into the boards,” said Dahlquist, “so I think he must have caught a rut or something. I knew something was wrong. Guys don’t yell like that when they’re not hurt. “…On an off day in Los Angeles recently, left winger Brian MacLellan arranged for 14…
MORROW STILL BASKS IN MIRACLE’S SPOTLIGHT
Even now, almost 11 years later, Ken Morrow gets asked about his achievements of the winter of 1980—the Miracle on Ice—more than anything else. “That amazes me,” said Morrow, who was a defenseman for the U.S. Olympic team which struck gold and is now an assistant coach for the Kansas City Blades. “People still remember. They still want to talk about it. They still want to celebrate it. When we go to places like San Diego or Phoenix, people want to know how we did it.” The latest in a string of reunions for the team was planned for Jan. 1 at the Orange Bowl in Miami. Twenty coaches and players were to be honored prior to the Colorado-Notre Dame football game. Morrow says he’s remembered more for his participation with the Olympic…
