Nice article Sal! I didn't care much for this set when I collected it back in the day (OPC version here in Can) but those push pins definitely take me back to a simpler time. I have a couple of Hulls and a Shanny from that set. Always loved the Roy card with the towel/hoody around his neck - too funny - like a fighter going into the ring!

You know, that might actually be a towel around Roy's neck. I just assumed it was a hooded sweater.
I remember Greg Millen used to wear a hooded sweater under his jersey when he played for Chicago, so I figured it was a "goalie thing" to do so.
