Pro Set Holiday Card

It's no secret that, even 20 years later, I still love Pro Set trading cards. So when I found this holiday greeting card at The National back in August, I eagerly bought it. It was sent out by Pro Set in 1990--most likely to companies and suppliers who dealt with them, but it may have been sent out to Pro Set Gazette subscribers (though I cannot confirm that).

You might recognize the illustration on the front--it was used on the "Santa Claus" card inserted into packs of 1990 Pro Set Football cards. A card of Santa didn't make it into hockey packs in 1990, though we hockey collectors did get a Santa card in the 1991-92 Parkhurst set. 

The inside of this holiday card reads:

HAPPY HOLIDAY

Here, card has two meanings. We all know that "card" implies trading cards. But a lesser known definiton of card means "a witty, entertaining or eccentric person." (Dictionary.com),

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone who reads this blog!
