Your Favorite Hockey card growing up was....

[G $MONEY$]

Everyone who collected Hockey cards as a kid, had a favorite card. It could have been a favorite player or a card that had sentimental value.

One of my favorites as a kid was the Ron Hextall Rookie Card. The card came out the fall after Ron Hextall won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP. Even though the Oilers won Lord Stanley, Hextall's great play gave him the Conn Smythe. Growing up in Calgary, me and my friends absolutely hated the Edmonton Oilers and Ron Hextall was our great hope, that he would knock the Oilers off if they meet in the finals again. Hextall's Rookie Card was as good as gold for a couple years in the late 80's.

So what was your favorite Hockey card as a kid???

This was mine clearly because he was a great goal scorer, not to mention the speed. To bad it is not worth anything now. . . .

this was my favorite hockey card as a kid...

this was the first hockey card I owned and I am proud to still own it. my mom bought me a pack of cards when we are at the grocery store and I was lucky enough to pull this Lemieux from my very first pack and I haven't pulled a better card since.
