Sal Barry and Tim Parish take a look at Hockey Hall of Fame trading card and postcard sets — specifically sets that use illustrations to depict its honored members: the 1983 Cartophilium Hockey Hall of Fame set (plus two subsequent trading card sets), the Legends of Hockey postcard set (issued from 1992 to 1996), and the 2010-11 In The Game Enshrined set. Plus, the guys give a quick recap of the new hockey card sets scheduled to come out soon. It’s 70 minutes of hockey goodness!
