4 Key Stickers
Brett Hull, Joe Niewendyk, Pierre Turgeon and Sean Burke.
Sticker History
This was the 1st time that O-Pee-Chee made a Rookie type insert sub-series within their regular issue stickers. There were 22 Future Stars in this “sticker back” set. So for the purpose of differentiating, I am considering these “cards” although the front of these are actually “stickers”. Many of these playeres are rookies, however since they are cardboard, We can’t count any of these as a “rookie sticker”. I include these in the Oddball non-sticker section because the backing is what we’re collecting for this set. The collectible portion here is the sticker backing.
Sticker Facts
The size of each sticker was 5.4 cm X 7.6 cm (2.13 in X 3 in).
