This amazing postcard-sized set, which was released during the 1983 World Junior Championships, features most of the young men who played for Canada's Junior Team - including 17-year olds and future Hall of Famers Mario Lemieux and Steve Yzerman.

Brings back memories--I don't have access right now to my set but I think I have the oversized card you don't--also since there wasn't a lot of material to be autographed before the 90"s I had a few signed--I remember Lemieux, Leeman, Andreychuk, Trader maybe more--I'll have to dig them out and look--keep the stories coming
