Card: #27 Marcel Bonin


“ Awesome! ” -muskie027

“ Neat! However, coin is a misnomer. To be a coin it has to be currency. A metal disk that's not monetary is a medal, though I'm not sure if these are actually metal or not. Paper or plastic, it's just a round card then. I'm OCD about proper names. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Classic hockey now too. Would have preferred acard over a coin but beggars can’t be choosers. ” -IfbBirdsCards

“ If it's not a card, I'll pass. ” -carthage44

“ Wow a vintage 1960s HOCKEY coin. I'm used to the baseball coins. ” -captkirk42

“ Another great item! ” -NJDevils

“ Vintage...cool. Canadiens jersey...cool. Coins....not cool. ” -cnangle

“ I have some of these so hard to find in "nice" condition .Cool vintage. Marcel won the cup 4 times with the Red Wings (1) & 3 with the Habs . ” -uncaian

“ Were these inserted into packs of trading cards or do they not belong on the TCDB? :) ” -UKboogie

Looks ok, but I don't think I would collect these. I'm not one who necessarily embraces all things old, and shuns all thing new.  Reminds me of a pog, and I shunned those.


-------------------------------

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff.  Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

Billy: 

From Merriam-Webster

a :a usually flat piece of metal issued by governmental authority as money 

b :metal money 

c :something resembling a coin especially in shape

I think definition c works here.
