“ I love old cards! ” -muskie027

“ Cool! Now that I'm collecting hockey I really like this card a lot more than I would have a year ago at this time. 74-75 OPC is a set currently missing from my collection, but it won't even be 9 months for me in the hobby until a couple of days after this sees publication (1/15/17 is when I began actively collecting the NHL) ” -Billy Kingsley

“ This is maybe the coolest hockey card I've ever seen. I wish goalies still wore those masks. ” -switzr1

“ Fantastic design that shouts, "Hockey!" I truly was impressed with this and the use of the stick within the design is truly outstanding. ” -Sportzcommish

“ I love this card , one of few I had as a kid , hard to find mint. Nice set. ” -uncaian

“ The goalie gear was so minimal back then. My 7-year-old wears a chest protector that's bigger than that. Nice to see some vintage hockey in RCOTD. ” -olerud363

“ Never really followed hockey that close, but collected these cards. ” -kirkscards

“ Great card. Nice logo and photo. Of course, no one ever knows what he looks like. Could be AvsBruins behind the mask. ” -NJDevils

“ Well, I spit my coffee out when I saw that. Nightmares tonight for sure. ” -RoyalChief

“ I absolutely LOVE the old Friday the 13th goaltender masks! ” -carthage44

“ The good ol' day!. As a kid I would have loved this card! I don't do hockey anymore but if I did i think I would have to have this set. ” -cnangle

“ What you don't see is Mr. Gilbert sticking his tongue out at all of you people trying to thing of something clever or witty to say about the RCotD. Oh yes, even back then he knew about RCotD. ” -YoRicha

“ Yes Vintage Hockey OPC to boot. Goalie in full gear and mask plus plus. 1974 was when the Capitals started I would rather one of their cards had been picked. ” -captkirk42

“ Wicked mask! Well balanced and nice color combination on the front. I like it! ” -CollectingAfterDeath

“ This is one helluva hockey card! ” -mkaz80

“ Gotta love the classic Jason style goalie mask. ” -IfbBirdsCards

“ Today's goaltenders are protected better than a SWAT Team member. Look at the equipment they used to use. ” -rmpaq5

“ Yikes! Don't go near the lake if you see him! ” -Joshua825

Sorry, I don't do hockey cards, although this is nice. My question, though, is whether this is an UER, because it says 1967-68 All-Stars on the back, but it's a 1974-75 All-Star card. I can't read the back very well, so perhaps I'm missing something. Maybe the back is commemorating the game from 7 years earlier?

....Never mind. The All-Star cards seem to commemorate previous All-Stars. No error. Just...odd.

Nice card, though.
