Year: 1995-96

Set: Topps (Rate)

Card: #29 Todd Marchant


“ Not one of Topps's better designs, and the scan being so washed out doesn't help. I actually like the back better than the front. With that said, I still plan to collect this set! ” -Billy Kingsley

“ I remember this set, but I didn't collect hockey a lot. It wasn't too bad. ” -jupiterhill

“ The lettering on the front makes it difficult to read. ” -carthage44

“ I've never been much of a hockey collector, but I bought more than a few packs of Topps hockey this year. The foil player name over the ghosted team name is a pretty sharp look on the front, and I really love the back in terms of colors and layout. This set gets a thumbs up from me! ” -mkaz80

“ Didn't we have this set before? Very hard to read team name, some team names harder than others. Player name also hard to read. Not impossible like foiled lettering but hard. Design is OK but all the colors is too busy. ” -captkirk42

“ Pretty...pretty....pretty.....bad. Never a good idea to pile letters on top of letters. ” -NJDevils

“ Nice. ” -cjjt

“ All of the Topps '95 sets leave me scratching my head. I want to like them. They are clean looking with a good back. But there's something about them that I don't like. It think it might be the foil facsimile signature....too hard to read. ” -cnangle

“ A local Buffalo boy! This is a good card, but the team name on the front is a little much. I really like the back. I would have preferred a logo next to the name in the right proportion as opposed to the giant Oilers written in translucent lettering. ” -muskie027

“ Not a bad set , considering it's from the '90s , good looking front & back. If I remember correctly Marchant was a pretty decent player. ” -uncaian

“ A little tough to read the OILERS on the front. Without the uniform showing, I'm not sure I woul have figured it out in the first few tries. ” -kents_stuff

“ Great action shot, but the designers blew it with the team and player name on the front. ” -Sportzcommish

“ I actually kind of like this design. Maybe, in part, because it isn't the same look as the other sports Topps printed that year, in the middle of an era where most brands used the same design across all sports. ” -switzr1

“ Great back, so-so front. ” -rmpaq5

“ This card is just too cluttered ” -Bargunmaster

This card was right during my hockey collecting sweet spot (during the teenage years).  I despised the design.  I'm now an adult that collects hockey.  I despise the design.
