1997-98 Donruss Canadian Ice Hockey Forum

But wait, there's more!

I had a handful of these "Player's Club" cards, back in the day too.  I got them from retail re-packs (the ones in the plactic cubes/boxes).

Also, I recalled seeing that logo on a different brand & searching COMC confirmed it - that stamp also shows up on 1997-98 Pinnacle Certified "Platinum Blue" (but not the Red) cards!

Same year, different brands.  Point of interest, both Donruss/Leaf & Score/Pinnacle "folded" after the 1997-98 NHL card season.  Maybe they were part of a redemption program created by some card show, or price guide manufacturer?

...not much help solving the case, but at least a bit more evidence to go on.

Ugh.  I just started re-entering my collection on the site today, and now I remember why I quit doing it several months back.  Maybe I should collect something like matchbooks instead of cards!!

Yeah Orm, the owner of CIC told me that it was a redemption card set that never got released. He also said that  Dave and ?? bought them out when they went bankrupt so possibly they released them.

My records for what we have in Steve Yzerman:

Thanks Dan! I spent all night last night image researching and am producing a list in which we can make a decision based on the facts that I present. It was like four hours of work but well worth it for the knowledge gained.

Ok here is what I have learned over the past few nights ...........

Definitely only ONE Dominion set made, I do not know who decided which got gold and which got red but out of all the cards I have viewed not a single one was available in Gold and Red, it was only either, not both. However the non-SN and SN versions are most likely available for all cards in the Dominion set. I do not have proof but there are too many of both versions to assume that that wasn't the case. The only other possibility is the comments i have found saying that Donruss admitted the Dominion cards were misprinted and if you contacted them they reissued another with a SN on it. Believable but again no proof of this (yet) and usually you would have had to send the error card back to get the corrected version. Again no proof of anything other than the fact they DO exsist. So now how to list them .......... are they ERR and COR or VAR? This is the part we need to determine. Thoughts? I do have a spreadsheet done up if anyone is interested.

So Admin went over everything and has added a new version of the Dominion Series labeled as Un-Numbered. I have asked them to move cards #24,44 and 46 to the new listing. If anyone wants a copy of the spreadsheet showing which are the golds and the complete break-down of the set I can oblidge.
