Year: 1970-71

Set: Dad's Cookies (Rate)

Card: #NNO John McKenzie


“ Nice vintage regional promo! Oddly shaped, but with promos that's not too surprising. Looks like it wasn't actually licensed by the NHL based on the photo and total lack of the word Bruins appearing anywhere on the card. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Love this set .Pie Mckenzie had a good run with the Bruins. ” -uncaian

“ well this is different ” -Lennoxmatt

“ First off, I can just imagine the photo shoots. I'm guessing one jersey passed down the line as everybody waits like school picture day. Second..McKenzie is only lie 32-33 years old when this was taken/published so why does he look like my grandpa? Hockey sure was a tough life back then. Lastly, looks like Randfordfan has another hockey checklist to fix as these should all be NNO :) ” -rmpaq5

“ "Send six wrappers and 10c..." man those were the days... ” -Brimose

“ Add another cool vintage card to the Random pile. ” -captkirk42

“ Really don't care for these . . . 1) odd size make them difficult to store or display 2) no uniforms or team logos 3) very plain and boring. Cool character though. Nicknamed "Pie", shortened from "Pieface" a candy bar character. Also, famous for the "McKenzie Choke Dance". ” -C2Cigars

“ There was a time in my life where cereal box sets, McDonalds, and all the small time stuff was worthless to me. Now it's nice to see that some people out there actually kept some of this stuff as a piece of history. Gotta ask though... how do we know this is card #83? ” -Dixxy

“ A lot on the back, they could have done better with the portrait border lines. ” -TradingCards964

“ I'm glad Mother's took over both the kitchen and the trading card department. Now that's a woman of the 21st century! ” -Sportzcommish

“ I have never seen this set but I enjoy the close-up and the basic stats. ” -nubala

“ Big fan of the "NHL Players". They always had a great team. Cool card. ” -cjjt

“ Not something I would want to collect, but still cool! ” -bkklaos

“ Condition be damned! These cards would make for cool bookmarks. ” -DanD

“ I don't know much but I know a cool card when I see one! ” -UKboogie

 I wonder if Dad's Cookies became Mother's Cookies after the divorce?

Saw Johnny "Pie" for years and years having coffee before work in the morning at Gregory's Sub shop in Reading, Mass. He sold cars the next town over. People in New England love him.
