1997-98 Donruss Studio

Stopped into a hobby shop that I've never been into before seeking penny sleeves earlier today and noticed a box of cards sitting on the shelf  behind the counter that I haven't seen in a very long time for sale - 1997-98 Donruss Studio.  I used to love the look of these cards as a kid and I still do; so for only $2 a pack I picked up two of them to rip to go along with my penny sleeves purchase.  Each pack comes with two portraits and five cards.

Mail Day! 1996-97 Score Sudden Death Wayne Gretzky vs Felix Potvin

Another Sudden Death card to add to the collection, making it 6/15 - still a long ways to go.  Like most cards featuring The Great One, this card books in at the highest value from the set. I got it for a steal at 0.99 (+2.50 shipping)/  It features a faceoff against Wayne Gretzky and Felix Potvin.

Mail Day! 1996-97 Kraft Hockey Mascots

I received this envelope last Friday; the remaining three cards in the mascot set that Kraft and Upper Deck released on the back of Jell-o packs sometime in 96-97.  In the scan I included the entire set of 5 but the cards I ordered were of Dave Gagner & Harvey the Hound (most infamous for having his tounge ripped out by Craig McTavish), Felix Potvin & Carlton the Bear and Rob Niedermayer & Stanley C. Panther.
