I
waxed poetic about Alexei Zhamnov last month, and I found another card I had him sign at those
Winnipeg Jets pretend camps in the mid-1990s:
Clearly I didn't know about pre-erasing the first (few) layers of gloss off cards back then, and I used someone else's sharpie (mine were thicker back in the day) for this one. It's from
Pinnacle Brands'
1994-95 Score set (card #154 in the series) and is signed in black sharpie. He is shown sporting the team's purplish-blue (away) uniform, with
the Goals For Kids patch I mentioned in this old post on Thomas Steen.
He had just come off his second straight season where he was a better-than-a-point-per-game player, with 51 goals and 143 points (and 120 penalty minutes) in 129 games for both years.
It was by chance that I fell on this card when coming home from the
Montréal Canadiens hosting the Jets two nights ago - a Habs shutout win - looking through a box of cards for something else.
