Abstract:
Hockey Card Stories reveals what was really going on in your favourite old hockey cards through the eyes of the players depicted on them. Some of the cards are definitely worth a few bucks, some a few cents àbut every story told here is priceless. SportsnetâÂÂs Ken Reid presents the cards you loved and the airbrushed monstrosities that made you howl, the cards that have been packed away in boxes forever, and others you canâÂÂt believe ever existed. Whether itâÂÂs a case of mistaken identity or simply a great old photo, a fantastic 1970s haircut and âÂÂstache, a wicked awesome goalie mask or a future Hall of FamerâÂÂs off-season fashion sense, a wide variety of players àfrom superstars like Bobby Orr, Denis Potvin, and Phil Esposito to the likes of Bill Armstrong who played only one game in the NHL àchime in on one of their most famous cards.
