1984-85 Topps #70 Don Beaupre

I just picked up a 1984-85 Topps North Stars team set today.  It's smaller than the O-Pee-Chee issue, but I badly needed replacements for some of my very first hockey cards.  Virtually all of my North Stars from this set had a thumbtack hole through them.  The set I received has nice, sharp corners, though there is spotty printing on quite a few of them.  I guess I don't know if that was an issue that plagued this set (the first Topps set in three years) or not.

He was such a baby when he first came up!

1991-92 Upper Deck #197 Don Beaupre

Yes, they erred greatly in overproduction, but the first couple of seasons of Upper Deck hockey cards really were revolutionary in photography and design.
