“ Really like Pro Set, wish they lasted longer than they did. They got it right. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ I can't say enough how much I loved Pro Set. ” -muskie027

“ A decent card with a nice action shot and well-placed logos. I'd prefer the lower name banner to extend all the way across and to include the player's position. ” -Sportzcommish

“ Really nice card. It's one of those that seems like it's come up before on RCOTD, but maybe a parallel or a different set with similar setup. ” -kents_stuff

“ I have a signed copy of this card (well, the English version) that turned up in a barrel of clothes at the second-hand clothing store my Mom used to own. No way to confirm that it was really Bourque who signed it, but it does look like his signature. ” -bevans

“ Pro Set was only around for a few years but I loved them! ” -carthage44

“ First thing to check on a Pro Set card...how many variations are there???? ” -beansballcardblog

“ the set that got me interested in hockey cards. ” -parsley24

“ I don't mind this design. Nice picture actually. Notice the awful 90's hair in the stands. ” -IfbBirdsCards

Hey, I think I have this card. That would be the 2nd RCOTD this week that I own (along with the Star Trek card). For the 90's, that was a nice design - front and back.

One nice thing about Pro Set, the large sets included every player. ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

I didn’t really collect any of the Pro Set cards when they came out but have picked up several over the years. I should be fluent in French now after looking at all of the backs to see what version I had.

Nice to see one of my favorite players show up in the card of the day. ------------------------------- Trying to acquire one card for every for every set, insert, parralle, minor, euro, team issue, oddball etc sets produced for Hockey. Been an interesting project.

I always assumed Bourque was your favorite, just based on your handle. avsbruins65 wrote: Nice to see one of my favorite players show up in the card of the day. ------------------------------- I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

For me these sets are the defenition of overproduction. Yes it introduced tons of people to collecting but at the same time once I found out there were nicer cards like UD and Score. I was like "Man do these cards blow goats!" =O
