Pro Set forges ahead despite financial woes
The first of the new card companies to enter the hockey card market three seasons ago is hoping its not about to enter its last season of production. Pro Set, which is operating under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, has survived long odds to reach the point where it is ready to release its 199293 Series I hockey set. It was only when Morgan Guaranty, a New York-based financial institution, provided financing to Pro Set in October that the company received clearance from a Dallas judge to produce hockey cards this season.

He wanted us to document his communication…just in case he later finds it advantageous to argue his case in the media. Dear Santa: In past years, my annual Christmas requests have included skates, sticks and other hockey equipment. I’d like to thank you for your consideration and punctual, responsive deliveries.
