"Sharks & Russians Inserts"
Total Cards: 66
(Inserted 1 per pack)
Always happy to find goaltender cards in re-packs.
Surprised that I didn't already have this card - Historically, this was one of the first insets subsets to ever exist.
Had previously found the entire "Special Card" series containing 10-cards of the newly drafted San Jose Sharks - But this is the first of the Russians to be added to my collection. (seems the Russians occupy card numbers 11R thru 66R - That's 55 cards!)
(The Sharks were sealed inside a hard plastic container, as if the previous collector had squirreled them away, assuming they'd be worth something someday...)
The previous years' set (1990-91 O-Pee-Chee) featured Russians in the high number series (with Dynamo Riga or the Soviet Wings) as regular base cards... (The 1990-91 OPC set also has 22 Russian special cards)
Back to the 1991-92 OPC set... I'm not even sure if this subset has an official name. "Sharks & Russians" seems a tad blunt - As if it was just a nickname given by fans...
