This 30-card set of Calgary Flames was sponsored by Red Rooster Food Stores, and the player cards could be collected from any of these stores. The cards measured 2 11/16" by 3 9/16" and featured on the front a color posed head-and-shoulders shot (with rounded corners) of the player, with a facsimile autograph in blue ink across the bottom of the picture. The player's name, uniform number, the Calgary Flames' logo, and a hockey tip appeared below the picture. The back had biographical and statistical information on the top portion, while the bottom had a sponsor advertisement and the anti-crime slogan "Support Crime Stoppers." The set included two different cards of Hakan Loob, Lanny McDonald, and Joe Nieuwendyk. The Brett Hull and Joe Nieuwendyk cards were the key cards in the set since they pre-dated their O-Pee-Chee and Topps Rookie Cards by one year. [Collapse]
