2016 Adventures in Repacks: Part 38.2 - Long time, no see

Back to the repack.

The bonus item is:
An oversized Ovechkin 2007 Ultra card with four dinged corners! Yay! If this card was in better condition, it actually would be a pretty nice bonus item.

And now, the 50 cards.
1990 Bowman - Chris Chelios - And it starts with a poorly centered 1990 Bowman card. How repackish.
1990 Bowman - Mike Modano
1990 Bowman - Jeremy Roenick
1990 Bowman - Rod Brind'amour

1991 7th Inning Sketch - Brian Kilrea - You really won't see anyone with a cigar in their mouth any more on cards. Including HOFer Kilrea, who has kicked the habit.
1991 7.I.S. - With a name like 7th Inning Sketch, it is appropriate to find drawn cards as part of their checklist.
1991 7.I.S. - David Myles
1991 7.I.S. - Bill Kovacs
1990 7.I.S. - And there is a logo that hasn't aged well. It was changed to a pirate theme in the mid 90s. And then they brought it back a couple years ago as the mascot. Which went over as well as you could imagine. It lasted one week. It now sports a helmet as opposed to a keffiyeh.
1990 Bowman - Dominic Lavoie
1990 Score - Bruce Hoffort
1990 Bowman - Rick Wamsley
1990 Bowman - Steve Larmer
1990 Bowman - Gary Roberts
1990 Bowman - Adrien Plavsic
1990 Bowman - Mario Lemieux - Despite the print run of approximately one billion for this set, it is still nice to land a major name.
1992 Score Canadian - Frantisek Kucera - Throwback!
1992 Premier - Shayne Corson
1991 OPC - Steve Smith
1991 Score - Claude Lemieux
1992 Parkhurst Emerald - Bill Clement - Hey! A parallel!
1994 Parkhurst - Dave Ellett
1994 Pinnacle Rink Collection - Troy Murray - WOO-HOO! A parallel, and one that hits one of my PCs!
1994 Pinnacle Rink Collection - Bob Corkum - Sure, there's a lot of 1990 Bowman here, but I am enjoying landing a few parallels.
2003 Original Six - Phil Esposito - The most recent card in the repack. And it really wasn't close.
1990 Pro Set - Owen Nolan
1991 OPC - Daren Puppa
1990 Score - Tim Watters
1992 OPC - Adam Graves
1990 Bowman - Grant Fuhr
1992 Ultra - Chris Chelios - Hey! It's a Chelios hot repack!
1993 Score - Doug Bodger
1993 Stad. Club - Kevin Haller
1993 Parkhurst Emerald - Geoff Courtnall
1993 Leaf - Radk Hamr - Must highlight back of 1993 Leaf.
1993 Leaf - Peter Bondra - Must...
1990 Bowman - Rick Tocchet
1994 Donruss - Mark Fitzpatrick - If not for the scratch-off pucks in 1980, this might be the worst design ever, with the name being illegible unless seen at the right angle.
1993 Donruss - Joe Mullen
1992 UD - Paul Stanton
1991 OPC - Larry Murphy
1993 Premier - Tom Barrasso
1990 Bowman - Tony Tanti
1993 Premier Gold - Tom Barrasso - And the run of Penguins ends with my 5th parallel.
1993 Leaf - Roman Hamrlik - Must...
1990 Score - Patrick Roy
1990 Score - Christian Ruuttu
1990 Score - Dave Poulin
1992 Parkhurst - Glen Murray
1990 Score Canadian - Randy Gregg - And it ends with the doctor.

Now that was a lot of early 90's content. A total of 1 card from after a 1994 season release. But, some parallels make up for it, and that Kilrea is a pretty interesting for a photo choice that has aged poorly. While I didn't get my money back, nor was I expecting to, it was still a fun break.

  1. That was pretty damn entertaining actually. Can't believe you got two different Rink Collection parallels in one of these!
