Kings Cards: Silver Anniversary Sheet

Way back in the day (the early 90's) these 8.5" x 11" card sheets were all the rage.  Upper Deck produced a boatload of them and collectors gobbled them up like they were made of gold.  How could you go wrong, right?  Heck, this sheet was limited to only 20,000 copies.  Now that's RARE!

Man-O-Live.  Those heady days of collecting always make me smile.  How naive were we?

I don't exactly remember how this particular sheet was distributed- maybe at a game?  Anyway, it's cool because it celebrates the 25th Silver Season Anniversary of the Los Angeles Kings, and features several current and soon-to-be Hall of Famers (Gretzky, Kurri and Blake).  And since the Kings are making a run for the CUP I'm gonna over-burden you with Kings cards and collectibles over the next week or so.  Don't say I didn't warn you.

  1. I have a Chicago Bulls sheet like that. I think I picked it up at a local grocery store. But yeah - it could have been distributed in a thousand places.
