Need help with some stuff. Exists?

[mralex69]

Hello,

I'm a big fan of John Vanbiesbrouck and I have a nice collection of him however I have problems with some cards(other things also). Do they even exist?

Following do they exist?
Card 1993-94 Upper Deck NHLPA/ Roots #27 John Vanbiesbrouck
Card 1994 NHLPA Phone Cards #8 John Vanbiesbrouck
Card 1994-95 Action Packed Badge of Honor #57 John Vanbiesbrouck/ Florida Panthers
Card 1994-95 Action Packed Big Picture #70 John Vanbiesbrouck/ Florida Panthers
Card 1994-95 Action Packed CoaStars #102 John Vanbiesbrouck/ Florida Panthers
Card 1994-95 Action Packed Mammoth #MM John Vanbiesbrouck
Card 1994-95 Panthers Pop-ups #2 John Vanbiesbrouck

Here I have the Bashan Super Stickers#47 but the seller I bought it from thought it was a Imperial Stickers #47. What's the difference?
Card 1995-96 Bashan Super Stickers #46 John Vanbiesbrouck TC
Card 1995-96 Bashan Super Stickers #47 John Vanbiesbrouck
Card 1995-96 Imperial Stickers #47 John Vanbiesbrouck

Do the punched card exist? And how do I see if it's a Special artist Proof(Have the Dealers Choice and there's a text)?
Card 1996-97 Score Blades Winners Punched #63 John Vanbiesbrouck
Card 1996-97 Score Special Artist's Proofs #63 John Vanbiesbrouck

What's the difference between reg. katch and Fab au Canada?
Card 1997-98 Katch #66 John Vanbiesbrouck $1.25
Card 1997-98 Katch Fabrique Au Canada #66 John Vanbiesbrouck
Card 1997-98 Katch Fabrique Au Canada Gold #66 John Vanbiesbrouck
Card 1997-98 Katch Fabrique Au Canada Silver#66 JohnVanbiesbrouck
Card 1997-98 Katch Gold #66 John Vanbiesbrouck
Card 1997-98 Katch Silver #66 John Vanbiesbrouck

I've seen gold cans but I was told there is a Jumbo Gold can. Is there a Jumbo Gold? Is there a Jumbo(non gold) at all?
Card 1997-98 Pinnacle Inside Cans Gold #20 John Vanbiesbrouck

If anyone has any info that's great, if anyone has scans that's even better(proof) and IF anyone has some of these and want to sell I'll be happy to buy.

Best regards

Got one answer but from an ebay seller. The Special Artist Proof is thicker. Is there no one on this big forum that knows more?

I can help address your question regarding the Katch coins - very simply, the 'Fabrique Au Canada' coins have those words printed around the outside edge on the back. The regular versions simply say "Made in Canada"

I can get you scans of my Tyler Moss coins so you can see the difference if you need them... but basically when buying just ask if it says that on the back or not!

Those imperials stickers and bashan stickers are excatly the same cards. Ive been looking for those for my Jagr Pc. Jagr is also listed in those Action Packed cards but I havent found one of those cards that you listed in that set. The only Jagr card I got from that set is this one;
1994-95 Action Packed Big Picture Promos #BP3 -Pittsburgh


I hope that helped a little bit.

[mralex69]

Thanks for the answers. But I have my Katchcoins says both made in and fab. canada is that some weird thing going on?

Weird that beckett lists those stickers as two separate cards when they are the same but it might just be the human factor.

If anyone else has any answers please type them down.

Best regards

Not weird at all - the Katch coins that are listed in Beckett as the "Fabrique au Canada" parallels have both French AND English.. so sounds like that is the ones you have. The others ones (regular version) ONLY have English and NO French.

Hope this helps!

I know a little bit about these:

Card 1994-95 Action Packed CoaStars #102 John Vanbiesbrouck/ Florida Panthers


My understanding was that Action Packed was going to release a set of NHL Licensed coasters (yes, those little cardboard thingys we put drinks on!).

The production was cancelled, and they were never released.... but (allegedley) some were produced, and made there way out onto market.

I've also never seen a copy of the Bill Ranford that was supposedly in the set. I have my doubts that they actually exist.

This is why I love this site! So much knowledge!

I've never heard a single thing regarding CoStars.. but know vaguely of the Action Packed Pin's... as both Patrick Roy and Doug Gilmour were set to have one.. from what I know of those there was only promo's made and not the actual set - so this wouldn't surprise me if they had another product which didn't quite hit the market like it was supposed to! Makes you wonder what went wrong -- licensing??

[30ranfordfan]

My understanding, yes. It was a licencsing issue. They had some of them made, but never sent them to the stores.

Though a quick google search, I can find some cached eBay listings for 6 packs of them. None with Vanbiesbrouck, or Ranford, so I'm not sure what to say. Trying to dig up the blurb I read about them a while back.

I've never seen them in person. Here's a link for an auction that didn't end all that long ago though:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rt=nc&nma=true&item=2606807 55181&si=hFjbCTRUT2GLc8EVAPZ%252FeeBLOiU%253D&view item=

Some of them do exist, at least. (Interestingly enough - that seller didn't use player names anywhere in his auction. If you don't say 'Ranford', I'd never be able to find it).

I will also mention that Beckett didn't start listing these until sometime in the last 5 years. That should also mean that some of them ARE on the secondary market?

So I might be looking for none existing cards?

Well thanks a lot for the help.

Still if anybody knows more just type.
