Card Identification Forum

I got this card yesterday at a shop and I looked at previous forums because I know it's not a listed set because the year is unknown. But, I'm still trying to compile a checklist of them. Mine has the Molson logo on the front, but it seems it have the same numbers as the ones with the Canadiens logo on the front as well. The red boarder ones are NNO. This is what I've found so far, even though eBay has more, they didn't take a back picture. I'd like a set to be created for this just as a reference for notes, but year is up and the air. Looking for anyone who can add to this list.

Looks like card numbers use the uniform numbers, so with it being an all-time Canadiens set, there may be some number duplication. Looks like those front pictures may still help you. :)

I'm well aware of that already lol

Because Marcel Bonin wore 18, but his card number is 8.

Just aiming for accuracy here lol

Yes, even the grading company doesn't know the year.  And like Dan said, uniform numbers will cause problems.

Alright, after asking on Facebook someone actually had a checklist with variations.

Edit: I can make a set now, I just have no clue what to put in as the year.

Are they all "all-time greats" or is there a whack of modern players in the set. If commonality on the roster of modern players can be found (if they are there) that could signifiantly narrow down the year possibilities.

EDIT: This comc listing has them at 2009-

Beckett has some listed for the years 2002-03, while COMC has one listed as 2009-Now.

None of them are current players. 

Edit: Unless Beckett is the red border ones, but they're NNO.

Red border cards have similar backs with player number.

From what I have determined so far, these cards appear to have been distributed at events where Montreal Canadiens Alumni were present to autograph them. Also the blue set was was produced first (2007?) and the red set second (2008?).  Sets only included former players. 

Indeed. I confirm that Habs alumni use them first hand for autograph requests. What I am unsure is how unsigned cards have appeared on the market. They're absolutely not something found in a beer case or something.

Also, I've seen more players in both the blue and red series. The names coming to mind are Dollard St-Laurent (19), Pierre Bouchard (26), his dad Butch (3), Phil Goyette (20), Pierre Mondou (6), Charlie Hodge (1), but there are more of them and I never saw a checklist card. It probably doesn't exist and numbers are not all sequential.

Of interest, I found that: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/23-signed-montreal-canadiens-molson-export

About Stephane Richer, could someone confirm that the number on the card is really #82 and not #44 as the jersey he mostly used?
