1992-93 Topps Hockey Cards

In the latest — and dare we say greatest? — episode of the Puck Junk Hockey Podcast, Sal Barry and Tim Parish look back at the “ugly baby” known as the 1992-93 Topps Hockey card set. They also discuss all the latest hockey happenings (or lack thereof) going on over the past week. Spoiler alert: they get off topic for a bit and talk about The Love Guru. You have been warned. This week’s show clocks in at 1 hour 49 minutes.

  1. I saw a story on your website about dale morrisey who makes hockey films and wondered if you have an email address for him. I look forward to your reply.

  2. Hi Sal. Love the podcast and website. Have a question regarding the different sleeves you mentioned in a recent podcast. Do they make binder sleeves that can hold thicker cards or even top loaders? I’d love to display my thicker cards (autos and patches) and hate to have them in a box. Do you have a solution?

    1. 8-pocket pages might work for jersey/game-used cards, as the pockets are slightly bigger than the standard 2.5″ x 3.5″ size. I’m not sure if they will stay nicely in place, though, as I’ve never actually tried this.

      I’ve seen some collectors put cards into Card Saver II type semi-rigid sleeves, and then put those sleeves into 4-pocket pages.

      I am also pretty sure that I saw pages that can hold cards in a graded slab, but I don’t remember when and where.
