In The Game: Two Belfour Cards

I made myself happy and expanded my Eddie Belfour collection by 30 cards or so, mostly base cards, or inserts. I am still a casual collector on a budget and I am gonna go after that higher value stuff when I got what I need.

Anyway, today I present two ITG cards I got. Tandems, paired with Dominik Hašek and Decades 1990s. In theory, both are good concepts. In reality, however... I am not that pleased.

Let's take a look at the Tandems cards first, which I believe is better.



As I said, the concept is good. Both goaltenders met in Chicago between 1990-92 seasons and they were a No. 1 and No. 2 goalie in 1992. However, I would hardly consider them a tandem, as Hašek barely got to play in 1990-91 (only 5 games) and his 20 games in 1991-92 were not a great number either. Hašek got some game time in playoffs though, playing 3 games in 1990-91 and the same number of games a season later.

The photos are... not so great. They are not exactly high-res and Eddie's photo does not match the era at all. Judging by his mask, the photo is from 1995-96 or 1996-97 season. By this time, Hašek was a Sabres superstar. The fact that the photos are repeated in the back does not make it any better.

They can be considered rivals, because of their competition for net time and memorable 1998-99 Stanley Cup finals, where Dallas Stars beat Buffalo Sabres in a classic goalie duel


.
ITG did not make it any better on the other card, Betwen the Pipes, Decades 1990s. I like the card design, but I hate the photo, so blurry and low-res! I am sure there must have been a better photo of Eddie from his Chicago era available, it is not like he was a one game wonder!

Eddie started wearing this mask in 1992-93 and swapped it for the "wishbone" design after 1994-45.

Despite all of that, I am happy to get these two cards and expand my collection. I will post some more later.
