Jewels from the Garage #4: Rob Blake

Icon_crop_3_tiny by Quisp on in ex-Kings

As JftC "regulars" know, I found a box of pristine Upper Deck NHL cards in storage, and I've been sorting through them. Since the Kings are d-shopping this week, we've been going through defensemen of yesteryear.

It's remarkable how many goalies are getting crushed, run, sat on, slid into, or otherwise interfered with in these old cards; I may do a series on that theme; are modern cards the same?

I thought #3 was Sydor?

Or did you just not want to use #4 for Blake? ;)

Ah, the good old days… back when we still liked Blake.

Hmmmm...

I just can’t find any sentimentality on this one…

I actually thought the title read "Jewel from the Garbage"

I think it was Blake’s face that altered the lettering for me.

Send these to Rudy – he LOVES Blake … :)
