1997-98 Donruss Priority Patrick Roy /100

It was odd yet pleasing to find a box of 1997-98 Donruss Priority sitting on a shelf at Wal-Mart a few days ago.  They tend to sell some very random hockey card stuff.

I only had a few of these as a kid, I'm pretty sure I have a couple of Opening Day Issues postcards from those days but that's about it.  They were short-printer at 1000 cards.


There's also a parallel version of each card from the base set titled Stamp Of Approval numbered out of 100 per card in the 220 card set.  The cards are die-cut like a stamp and stamped on the front, serial number on the back.  Pulling a Gretzky parallel would be the highlight card from these parallels (in my opinion) but scoring one of these can be a little difficult.


I got this great looking card of Patrick Roy!  Very happy, the subset looks very nice with the stamp ridges included.  It was a fantastic way to end my NHL mailbox break.


And yes, that is Santa Claus that you see peeking behind the mailbox.  Haha we put our tree up a little earlier than usual this year.

  1. It's a nice card but I just want to know the difference between my card and yours. I have the same Roy card but yours is Die-Cut and mine is not. Just plan white borders.

    1. The original card is from a subset within the set, which might be the card that you have.
