Esa Tikkanen was a really good pest, and he would chirp guys in this weird unintelligible chitter that even his own teammates couldn't understand, which they dubbed Tikki-talk. John Slaney scored the gold medal winning gold for Canada at the 1991 World Juniors. Craig Ludwig was known in his time as one of the best shot blockers in the NHL, and was famous for his extra-wide shin pads. You can see on some cards that they are noticeably wider than other skaters. After retiring, Mike Richter earned a degree from Yale and currently runs a green energy company. Curtis Leschyshyn is the only player in NHL history to play for two relocating franchises during their relocations, playing for the Nordiques/Avalanche (where he won the Cup), and the Whalers/Hurricanes. He is the father of current Ottawa Senator Jake Leschyshyn. Mathieu Schneider played for 10 different NHL franchises over his career. Vincent Damphousse has the 2nd most career points among players eligible to be elected to the HHoF. Gary Suter (pronounced Sooter) is not one of the Sutter brothers, but he is current St. Louis Blue Ryan Suter's uncle. Darcy Wakaluk scored a goalie goal by shooting it into the opposing team's empty net during an AHL game two days before Ron Hextall did it in an NHL game in 1987. When Alexander Daigle was drafted #1 overall by the Senators in 1993, he said in an interview he was glad he went first because nobody ever remembers second. Second that year was Chris Pronger. Tony Granato was elected to the US Hockey Hall of Fame in 2020.

WHA BABY

Great product. I pulled a Craig Ludwig rink collection back in the days.

Esa is Ess-ah, not Eee-sah. Riendeau is Ree-on-doh (like the Homer Simpson d'oh), You said Stephan Lebeau's 1st name correctly the 2nd time but not the 1st time. You actually said Curtis' last name correctly! Wakaluk is Wok-uh-luk. Paul Kariya's actual rookie card is 1992-93 Upper Deck.

Nice Lemieux card. I’m a King guy so gotta love the Carson rc. Stoked you finally pulled the Roy rc!!!!!! 🍻🇨🇦

I still love opening up the old packs. Something about them that I just really enjoy.

Danny Gare never played for the Rangers (4:38)

Fun pack break! New subscriber!! Have a good day! 😎👊

10 on the Poncho Pikachu is Huge! Congratulations!

The checklist says collect all your favorite American stars, then leads off with 6 huge European stars. Also, Andy Miele and his 15 career NHL games played, one of these things is not like the others...

Collation apparently not good in these packs. Did they also include potential autograph chase cards? Hope your trip to NorCal was good. Thanks for the package of cards and wrappers.

There are actually only 15 cards total in the set, plus a Tim Thomas Memorable Moments card, plus the checklist card, so technically 17 cards, but not 30 cards. Willie O'Ree is pronounced the way it's written, so it's Oh-ree, not Oh-ray. He was the 1st black player in the NHL. There should have been someone before him (look up Herb Carnegie), but that didn't happen.

Congrats on finally pulling the Roy! Such an amazing card!

Agree. If they do that then they should buy it at their named price, send me the $$$ .

Jimmy Carson rookie, Craig Simpson rookie. Danny Gare was with the Red Wings on that card, not the Sabres or Rangers. He was playing against the Rangers, though. Chris Cichocki changed his name to Steve when you met him? You were talking about Chris and then called him Steve. I had no idea that you were going to get the Roy card in this video! Al Secord = See-kord.

Got that Roy, congrats! I'd love to pull a fresh one to grade.

Don’t worry, I think you’re going to find Patrick in that box! Too bad the Lemieux is wax stained!

I love your videos. You have a good sense of humor. You did throw me for a loop though, when you said you had a banger, I thought it was the Roy, and then it was Lemieux. Coolest part of the video was how genuinely happy you were to pull the Roy. You can see the happiness on your face.

Nice 1.... April 17 he will be in town ✒

Congrats man! Looking forward to see the grade!

The hook? A big rook. Well done! Didn’t chew the gum? Dang I’m bummed.

Congrats - Great pack! Ilkka Sinisalo (R.I.P.) had some really good seasons with the Flyers.

Congratulations! Huge pull. Is it possible to get two Roy cards in the box? It was more funny when you smelled the gum!

Fantastic video and fantastic break. You finally got your man

The Roy looks like a banger!!!! Yeah I would NOT eat that gum.

COYOTES

If you’re building a set, $10 a blaster box is a good way to do it.

Still great deal ... think they were $20-$30 couple marquee s but the Johnny Goudreau is a keeper❤

Whenever I used to visit your country back in those days, I would always search the big chain stores for their exclusive baseball card sets like this one. I've got a whole shoebox full of these sets. I've got Topps sets from Woolworth, Toys R Us, Kmart, Hills, Ames, Kaybee Toys and 4 different Fleer sets (they don't say where they were sold), but not the set in the video, probably because I've never seen a McCrory store before. I've got 24 different sets like this, but not 1987 Fleer Baseball's Best. Trivia for you: Do you know what was the 1st of these kind of sets? McGwire's rookie card is 1985 Topps (shown as a member of Team USA), Incaviglia = In-ka-veel-ya, Canseco's rookie cards are 1986 Fleer and Donruss; he's also in 1986 Topps Traded, but not the regular 1986 Topps set.

What an interesting product! Back when a regional store would be able to afford an MLB and MLBPA license, pretty safe to say we won't ever see anything like this ever again.

❤ the Kirby Puckett

Never heard of these before.. awesome rip

All Star Pack

I have encountered your videos before, new sub! Fun videos, I love the vintage product I recently got my Dave Babych Hartford Whalers card signed up in Vancouver. Whalers always had one of the best jersey designs in the nhl

I hope you get a Roy soon. I hope you didn't get a box with resealed packs.

Maybe later in the box you'll get Roy doubles!

Great video and nice break and Go Irish

Gil Perreault = Jill Pare-oh. Gil is short for Gilbert, which = Jill-bare. Ron Greschner = Gresh-ner. Curt Giles = Jy-uhls (rhymes with files). Kelly Kisio had 8 20-goal seasons, but he never reached 30 goals in a season. What's up with our hockey teams? CBJ in the last playoff spot and the Canadiens only 1 point behind. Exciting stuff!

Cool cards

I like the inserts. The dazzlers look nice as usual. The retro Young Guns look great too!

YGR-13 Great hit YGR-41 aiso decent Ovi glossy x2 nice! plus plus plus ✔

Another great video. I love this channel. You always have good and positive energy. Just so you know, I couldn't read anything off the cards when I broke my tin as well. At least I know it's not just me.

I buy a base set of UD every year out of habit (why would I want to spend hundreds of $ for the Young Guns?), but haven't bought it yet this season. The card design always looks the same. It's getting boring, so maybe I won't get it anymore (although I probably will). Plus, I have no room to put new stuff!

Nice Ovi retro Yg.

Ovi .. Ovi.. ovi

I like the tins... I find it is a better correlation and better and I want that Binnington dazzler !!

The owner of the card store I used to work at in the early '90s, his dad was friends with William Shatner when they were kids. My brother used to force me to watch Star Trek when we were kids because he was (and still is) older than me, so he had control of the TV. Well, he didn't force me to watch it but if I wanted to watch something else on TV when Star Trek was on, that was not an option!

Not a Trek fan, more of a Star Wars fan. My favorite card was the Corridor card. 😂

Cool. Great series 🛸 Shatner born in Montreal & Doohan born in Vancouver & he was shot on D-Day with the Canadian Artillery Division. Watch & Rewatched....still would watch it.
