Great stuff guys. Rob that Gretzky is very nice. I won't jinx it and put that two digit # on it.

Is it me or has Steve Thomas been playing way too long?

Here we go....

1987 Topps Pack 1:

63 Mike Ramsey – Sabres
188 Steve Thomas – Leafs
194 Keith Crowder – Bruins
144 Tim Kerr – Flyers
192 Larry Robinson – Habs
34 Patrick Sundstrom – Canucks
Sticker #22 Kings Logo
175 Doug Gilmour – Blues
28 Tomas Sandstom – Rangers
191 John MacLean – Devils
40 Mike Foligno – Sabres
130 Bryan Erickson – Kings
43 Duane Sutter – Islanders

Nice corners on the lot with most cards a smidge oc. The best 4 condition wise pictured below.



1987 Topps Pack 2:

56 Steve Yzerman – Red Wings
84 John Tonelli – Flames
134 John Ogrodnick – Nordiques
5 Dave Babych – Whalers
115 Rick Middleton – Bruins
87 Ray Bourque – Bruins
Sticker #16 Penguins Logo
151 Jay Wells – Kings
181 Doug Smail – Jets
54 Mark Howe – Flyers
39 Dave Poulin – Flyers
55 Bob Gould – Capitals
156 Bob Murray – Black Hawks

Much better star power in pack 2 but most cards were oc with corner dings and top edge damage. I scanned the two HOF’ers (Stevie Y is a lock) and the Middleton which may 10. I scanned the Tonelli ‘cuz I didn’t remember him going to the Flames even though 87 was his 3rd season there.



Thanks, Bob C.

How's the Roy Albie?

Who's the former coach? Did I miss something?

Dave Lewis is the current coach for the B's.

Remember when the Jimmy Carson RC was a hot card? In LA when they were rookies, Carson & Robitaille cards had the same value.

cardbender

Sorry I'm late with these. Nice card design, reminds me of '69 and '74 Topps with the hockey stick motif. Okay pack as far as cards sharpness and quality. Here's the highlights:

cardbender

I never posted my results from last weeks rip:

1988 Topps - almost all commons except for Gilmour, Neely, and Peter Stastny. Some cards had slight surface indentations from the gum. Never liked the 'tacky' design. I did like the vertical backs. Nice all-star insert card.

Highlights:

He had a good year statistically in Edmonton after he was part of the big Gretzky trade then later he had 4 20 goal seasons in Detroit.

Way back when I opened my 84 Donruss pack out of order since I was preparing a submission for PSA. Got it back today and the one card I submitted turned out alright.....scan attached.

Mike Ridley / Capitals
Mark Hunter / Blues
Ron Duguay / Rangers
Doug Bodger / Penguins
Dana Murzyn / Whalers
Greg Adams / Devils (nice centering, but wax stained)

My '87's:



WOW!

I am absolutely LOVING this hockey bust so far --- my '87's were great --- pulled a stellar Adam Oates RC. It's a bit OC, a surefire 9 or 10 otherwise. I grew up in Minneapolis in the '80s and Dino Ciccarelli was my fav player as a kid until Brett Hull emerged (U of Minn Duluth alum).

Even with the centering, I may still submit the Oates using the $5 special this month.

Thanks again for organizing this bust, Bob. I'm already ready to do it again!

-Tom

PS '87-88 Pack in full:
-- Adam Oates RC, Red Wings
-- Larry Robinson, Canadiens
-- Patrik Sundstrom, Canucks
-- Dino Ciccarelli, North Stars
-- Bernie Federko, Blues
-- Moe Mantha, Penguins
-- Pat Flatley, Islanders
-- Tim Bothwell, Blues
-- Craig Hartsburg, North Stars
-- Bill Ranford, Bruins
-- Wendel Clark, Maple Leafs
-- Tim Kerr, Flyers

Stingray

Always liked Kirk Muller, just wish his last name had an "i" instead of a "u"!!

aro13

Bob - The Roy is probably a 9. You probably blocked it from your memory but the former coach of the B's was the much beloved (until he became coach) Steve Kasper. The night he benched Cam Neely in Maple Leaf Gardens for an entire game was the day his tenure in Boston unofficially ended.

<< <i> Remember when the Jimmy Carson RC was a hot card? >>



I was a Carson collector, mainly when he was in Detroit. He was a 50 goal guy and he came to Edmonton in the Gretzky trade. Last I saw he was an insurance broker. (I think I paid about $9 for his OPC rookie. At that time I was buying anything of Carson and Robitaille pictured in those old Kings uniforms.)

yankeeno7

Not quite so lucky on this pack though they are centered and look great!
Neal Broten
Paul MacLean
Greg Johnson
checklist 1-99
Brian Lawton
Keith Brown
Patrick Sundstrom
Larry Robinson
Tim Kerr
Keith Crowder
Steve Thomas
Mike Ramsey

I'll tell ya....I LOVE these hockey cards. I am inspired to collect raw sets after the holidays!

Knuckles

That Adam Oates RC was my first card ever from my first pack. (except not topps... opc) I glued it into a sticker book along with Paul Coffey.

rvc

my 2 packs
grant fuhr soft corner, little off top to bottom
ray bourque all star oc
tom barasso sabres! perfect centering, soft corner
dennis maruk played for seals, barons, northstars
glen hanlon redwings another goalie oc
mark messier pretty nice except for bend/crease on bottom,will come back to
esa tikkanen 9ish
pat verbeek oc

phil housley
gary nylund
rick wamsley blues goalie perfect centering, soft corner
john anderson whalers 9 or 10
checklist soft corners

the messier card has some sort of damage on the bottom , a crease. the bottom of the card was folded up a bit leaving this terrible crease shaped like a semi circle.

Really!?!

Where the hell was I?

I remember Neely getting benched but not Kasper doing it.

Oh well...must have killed one too many brain cells that year!

EDIT: Kasper's coaching career:

Seems like that Sundstum, Robinson, Kerr trio showed up in a lot of packs.

Rob - tough break on the creased cards.

Bob C - After watching another B's performance tonight I wonder if Dave Lewis will even post a record as good as Steve Kasper.

Onlypsahockey

Albie, They are a pitiful product.

I've watched almost every Bruins game religiously since I met Bobby Orr as a youngun. (Except for 95 & 96 it appears) This is by far the most pathetic group of horseshyt that has ever donned the spoked B.

Harry Sinden should have grown a pair last year or even two years ago and fired Mike O'Connell BEFORE letting him dismantle the team. ( See Thornton, Samsonov, Raycroft, Knuble, Rolston etc, etc...)

I've watched about two periods total this season...pathetic!

I once bled black n gold...now I just bleed.

Bob C.

EDIT: I may have to change my avatar soon.

Knuckles

I have a friend in the same boat.. he's becoming an Oiler fan slowly. The Oilers play of late isn't helping though

blindflyer

GO PREDS!!!

Worked in the hockey ops department for David Poile as an intern during their inaugural season ('98-99) ... been a die hard fan ever since. Even got to meet "The Great One" when he and the Rangers were in town (it was his final season).

It appears it may have been worth the wait. They're actually a pretty strong club now!

Alexander Radulov will be a BEAST for years to come. If you haven't heard of him yet, you will. I guarantee it.

Guys,

I have wanted to build a hockey set for a while now (since getting back in collecting). I have been thinking about it and have decided to go with '85-86 Topps. Tomorrow's bust is '86-87 .... but next week we bust '85-86.

I would be grateful for any gradeable commons from next week's '85-86 bust.

I'll gladly trade or even pay.

Thanks guys!

Can't wait for the '86 tomorrow!
