Boom! Love the big hit! Plus the facial expressions of both players.

Most of the cards I have from this set are nowhere near this exciting... But this one managed to grab my attention, as Aaron Ward of the Hurricanes crushes a member of the Flyers.

(card back)

Back of the card design is fine, with the necessary vitals - without being too complex or cluttered (although a closeup inset of this particular photo looks a bit odd, but that's about it).

Also noticed "Hurricanes-14" in small print at the top. One might assume it refers to a player's jersey number, but it actually lets you know that Ward's card is the 14th among Carolina Hurricanes cards within the set.

Kinda neat for reference sake (or for those who collect team sets). Have actually never seen this done before - And it doesn't distract from the actual card number.
