1994-95 Upper Deck Hockey Forum

So I have looked here and at Beckett and both places do not show this card as a RC. If you look him up why are some of the cards from the 94-95 year considered RCs and some are not?!?! I have his UD card listed on my wantlist as an RC?? Any info would be great, thanks.

Probably an oversight. The bigger question is why are card numbers 496 through 522 marked "RC"?

I actually did research on the whole World Junior Championship RC deal, and for some reason in hockey as long as it was a major release and a nhl sanctioned set, players could be added to sets from the junior ranks. The final year this was allowd was 2000-01 I think and then the NHL put a stop to it. I found the article over at Cardboard Connection, I will see if I can find it. I have probably 10% of my RC list as a WJC / CHL card and then a first jersey card as well. Don't get me wrong I love the Maple Leaf but to me a good RC has them A) in their NHL unifoms and B) actually on the ice. I hate those pin-up / mugshot type cards lol.

My bad it was actually a Beckett article ...................
