- This page of Sakic cards has 5 photos of him in his home uniform. Haven't had too many of these until now. I also like the design of the card, especially the stars in the blue border on the right hand side. Parkhurst could have been obnoxious and made the stars huge, but in my opinion they got this card right.
- I went a very long time without this card for my collection. Then I bought it twice in a week. Oops...
- I took a quick look at Joe's career stats, and was surprised to see that he scored at least 1 shorthanded goal in 13 straight seasons, even leading the NHL in shorties in the 98-99 season with 5. I never thought of Joe as a penalty killer until seeing those stats.

- I remember what a big deal it was to find a star like Joe back in the day when the emerald ice parallels came out. Now, not so much...
- The base Sakic lists for 50 cents, with the emerald ice having a 4x multiplier. There are 3 emerald ice parallels like this listed on COMC, ranging from $1.48-$1.70. Reasonable...
- Career goal #64 for Joe came 3 games after the Hartford game, against Toronto. Joe had 2 goals and 3 assists in an 8-5 win over the Leafs, which sent the Leafs to an 0-4 start.

- Maybe my favorite design of any of the 1990's Parkhurst releases. The oval isn't large as it was the previous couple of years, and the player's name and team on the right hand side don't' take away too much from the photo.
- I'm getting in the habit of making multiple posts on the same day when I have a parallel or parallels of a certain card. So you'll see the Emerald Ice version of this card later today.
- Joe's 63rd career goal was his first of the 1990-91 campaign. 10/4/90 vs. Hartford, Joe is in on all 3 of Quebec's goals in a 3-3 tie with the Whalers. Both of his assists in that game were for goals scored by Hall of Famers, Guy Lafleur and Mats Sundin.
