585.0. "1993/1994 Leaf Hockey" by DNEAST::PURNELL_CHRI (Pyro Suppression Technician) Thu Sep 16 1993 18:53

    
    	1993/1994 LEAF HOCKEY....
    		
    		What's up with this?  
    
    		I pre-ordered a box for $55....should be here within
    		a week (Sept 23th)...
    
    	Any news on these cards (other then comparing them to baseball, 
    	which had horrible collation)?
    
    	I saw this month's Beckett with (Super) Mario as the spokeman along
    	with what the cards are going to look like, but I haven't heard
    	anything else about 'em.  Atlease Score had a 1 page add in Beckett's
    	stating what was coming, but nothing about Leaf!!!  Getting anxious
    	to open her up...(or should I sit on them for a while and see if
    	they follow in Bowman's footsteps!!!!!)
    			
    				BOY DID I MISS THAT TRAIN!!!

    I saw a checklist in SCD a couple of weeks back. I understand that
    they look like the baseball cards. There's also 6 or 7 insert sets.

585.5PENUTS::JST_ONGEJohn St.Onge USDSL DTN 275-2715Fri Oct 01 1993 14:403
    Don't forget there's probably jumbo pack insert sets also ...

585.6New phrase to described Leaf insert situation!CARTUN::PAVLOCKFri Oct 01 1993 15:0110
    
    If the jumbo's have more/different inserts, then absurd is not a strong
    enough word, we need a phrase to describe this situation.  Some like:
    
    	Absolutively, positively preposterous!!!!!
    
    Comes to mind.
    
    Regards,
    
585.7Hobby/Retail Inserts....DNEAST::PURNELL_CHRIPyro Suppression TechnicianFri Oct 01 1993 15:065
    
    
    	Don't the also have different inserts for Retail vs. Hobby!?!?!?

585.8Haw many regular cards per pack?AKOCOA::MKELLYTue Oct 12 1993 14:519
    I keep having this dream....Someday we will all be queueing up to buy
    packs for an SRP of 4.00.  The actual retail will be 12.50.  Each
    pack will have twelve cards-11 of the cards will be inserts and
    one will be part of the regular set.  
    Then finishing the regular set will be more important than the 
    insert sets.
    
    Mike.
    
585.9Yet another subset!DNEAST::PURNELL_CHRIPyro Suppression TechnicianMon Oct 18 1993 12:589
    
    
    	NEW INSERT!  In the Canadian version of Leaf, there is a signature
    		     series sub-set (10, 5 series 1, 5 series 2)...Have
    		     3 of them...Yzerman, Falloon and another...
    
    		     Boxes have jumped from $55 to $85 a box up here!

585.10More Leaf Questions...DNEAST::PURNELL_CHRIPyro Suppression TechnicianThu Oct 21 1993 13:4610
    
    	SIGNATURE SERIES: In series 1, I'm only missing one...and was
    			  wondering if someone might know who it is!
    
    			  I have: Yzerman,Falloon,LaFountain and Gretzky.
    			  Also, does anyone know who all the Gold Leaf
    			  Rookies are?  Or do we have to wait until next
    			  week when the new Beckett's comes out!
