I probably showed off this card when I was building the OPC set. Now that is committing to the whole throwback uniform deal. I just wish that OPC would have also gone all-in and used the classic logo on the card.
Doug Favell was the first goaltender to have his mask fully-painted. It was a complete orange paint job originally, supposedly as a Halloween prank.
The OPC Retros the past few years have provided really nice close-ups of the artwork, such as here with Jonathan Bernier.
This isn't the best photo, but an appearance of the alternate masks that make appearances during outdoor games are always worth scanning and posting.
And the other hit for the mask binder is also a relevant player today, albeit as a backup in New Jersey.
And there you have the highlights of the mask portion of the box. Just some 2/14 stuff to go, likely later this week.
these are gorgeous! it's hard for me pass these up in dime boxes. I love goalies and Blackhawk jerseys but must consider the space a collection like that would demand. Cards multiply like rabbits.
