Year: 1996-97

Set: Collector's Choice (Rate)

Card: #258 Wendel Clark


“ It seems weird to me, learning about hockey, that they wear blue and not red. Apparently I just associate Canada's flag with the maple leaf that much. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Maple Leafs legend. Got chance to play briefly with the Blackhawks, but these are his true colors. Set is OK... well, at least much better than 1995-96 Collector's Choice. ” -Duke

“ WENDEL!!!!! Best Youtube video ever- Wendel Clark- ALL HEART! ” -Howintensive

“ Quickly becoming a hockey fan....just watched game 7 Islanders/capitals... BRUTAL!! ” -SFC Temple

“ Part of one of the most popular Leaf teams along with Gilmour,Joseph,the great Pat Burns etc.Tough guy who could score.I liked this set it was affordable & looked good. ” -uncaian

“ One of these over produced sets that I have a love/hate reaction to. I like the cartoon guy on the trivia question. Overall design is good. Now do I go for the entire set still? (I have a bunch in a couple of boxes from some blind bulk rate box buys) Or just make sure I have my Caps set complete? ” -captkirk42

“ Collector's Choice have always been very kid friendly cards. ” -carthage44

“ Never had the hockey cards, but hated the design of these of the football cards I had. ” -jupiterhill

“ I like this set. The focus is on the picture. Easy to see who the player is, and his team and position. Easy-to-read card number on the back. Most Collector's Choice sets were good in my book. ” -switzr1

Somehow missed this on the first go-round. Liked the simplicity of this set when it came out (in the 90s!). Inexpensive, kid-collector-friendly set. And Wendell Clark was a very good player. Not HOF-worthy, but very good. And loved in TO.

THE heart & soul of the Toronto Maple Leafs for about a decade...one of the best combinations of toughness & goal scoring ability of the 80's & 90's.  First overall pick that made an impact on the league. A definite Toronto Maple Leaf fan favorite
