CHECK OUT YOUR MUNI SCORE CARDS
I noticed the back of three of my four Craig Muni Score cards have a photo of Craig Simpson on them. Is this error card worth any extra value? Gail Moore Charlottetown, P.E.I. Score claims to have corrected the Muni error card early in its print run, making it a very valuable card. It has been sold for as much as $20, although it appears there are more of them out there than originally believed, so the price is likely to drop. Score also corrected Dean Evason’s card (which had a reversed photo on the front) and Kip Miller’s card (which is only available in U.S. versions and is missing the Score banner on the top of the card). Those are believed to be the only three variations in the Score series. I have…
PETR NEDVED
It was a cold, dark January night in Calgary when Petr Nedved decided to leave his Czechoslovakian homeland. Two years later, Nedved is suffering through several cold, dark nights, in his rookie NHL season for the Vancouver Canucks. The center, who led the Western League in scoring last season with 65 goals and 145 points on his way to winning rookie-of-the-year honors for the Seattle Thunderbirds, is determined his NHL future will be as bright. But through his first 37 NHL games, Nedved had just three goals and four assists for a Canucks’ franchise that welcomed him with messianic fervor as the No. 2 selection at last June’s draft in Vancouver. After scoring his first goal in the Canucks' 11th game, he didn’t score again until Game No. 47. The Canucks’ most…
TIP OF THE MONTH
Eight players in O-Pee-Chee’s 1987-88 hockey card set have a more valuable rookie card than Adam Oates. But none of them have scored more points-per-game this season than the St. Louis Blues’ center. Oates’ rookie card is a virtual secret waiting to explode. At $4.50 Oates’ rookie card (No. 123) is a bargain from a very interesting ’87-88 set which also features rookie cards of Luc Robitaille, Rick Tocchet, Bill Ranford, Stephane Richer and 1991 All-Star Game hero Vincent Damphousse. Oates' All-Star Game performance in Chicago (one goal and four assists), has increased interest in his card. Of course, Oates was added to the game as an injury replacement for teammate Brett Hull. Oates remains overshadowed by the superstar Hull. While Oates assisted on 19 of Hull’s first 50 goals, he lags…
WHAT’S IN YOUR CARDS?
WORST CARD Picking the worst card of the year is not an easy task. With all the errors made by the companies this season, narrowing the field to five is not easy. But these are the five we believe stand out for being particularly poor cards. Each is a bad card in its own way. The cards we’ve selected in the category of “Worst Card” are, left to right: Adam Oates, Bowman (a horribly blurry photo of a star player); Kelly Kisio, Score (it’s a nice picture of his stick); Dave Manson, Pro Set (a poor photo of Steve Konroyd); Vancouver Team Card, Upper Deck (a bad drawing of Petri Skriko in an old uniform); Doug Brown, Pro Set (they barely got him in the photo). Please mark your choice for worst card of…
