Card: #32 Craig Ramsay


“ Cool! I am really enjoying hockey- I wish I had taken up the sport sooner. Better late then never. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ I like this one a lot. Cool retro hockey card with nice photo and design. No OPC on the front, clear name and position, big team logo and now we all know he is retired. What's not to like? ” -Duke

“ It always seems odd to me that a buffalo is always part of a Buffalo teams' logo. Shouldn't the team name be the emphasis? ” -Sportzcommish

“ One of my favourite hockey designs of the 1980s - eclipsed only by the years immediately before and after it - although this one seemed to borrow quite heavily from the 83-84 Vachon food issue. ” -bevans

“ Like this design. You don't see many players in any sport spending their entire long career with a single team these days. ” -rmpaq5

“ He looks like the guy from X-Files. ” -carthage44

“ Nice. I was going to say Vintage but mid 80s isn't, well OK technically depending on your definition of Vintage and how many years you consider vintage to be. Oh love the "Now Retired" notice. I don't think I've seen that. OPC is known for their traded "Now with ____" notes but I don't recall seeing "Retired" maybe I don't get around to OPC that much anymore. ” -captkirk42

“ Love "Now Retired" ” -cjjt

“ "Now retired". Never saw that before ” -NJDevils

“ Nice , love this set Ramsay was a mainstay in Buffalo very popular. ” -uncaian

“ Thumbs up for the "now retired" indication. ” -dilemma19

“ Methinks an airbrushing of a knee-long, white beard is appropriate here. ” -DanD

“ Retired? I thought he finished up his career in Detroit?? *checks hockey-reference* oh, that was MIKE Ramsey. Anyway, congrats on your retirement, Craig. ” -Howintensive

“ LET'S GO BUFFALO!!!!!! I am in heaven, a Buffalo sports figure as card of the day! Love the card, love the player, love the Sabres, love the Bills, love Buffalo!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, this is a great card and design even for the non-Sabres. A solid classic from a great age of sport card designs! ” -muskie027

“ Simplicity of design, everything is there, I like it even though I don't care for hockey. Seems to be a lot of hockey and football on rcotd lately ” -hphillips

Can't go wrong with vintage cards for the card of the day.

Now retired is cool, wonder how many cards there are that have that designation?

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.

Good design front and back. Those early 80's ones got me into collecting. Clear script and not to busy on the front.
