Philadelphia Flyers Team Set (Clarke included)
1983 Souhaits Renaissance
These team sets from 1983 were put out in Quebec, Canada by a company called Souhaits Renaissance. They were originally put out as a keychain set each having a very unique metal key chain style. There were 20 out of the 21 teams made (for some reason there was no St.Louis Blues made). Each team set had 7 plastic cards made. The 7 cards were double sided. One auction win here gets you 7 pieces total. 2 images on each plastic card front and back! So when I say set of 14, there are 14 different images on 7 pieces. The ones I have seen all have the hole in the top corner as they were meant to be made into key chains. There were 12 player pictures for each team plus 1 team logo and 1 title card.
Later on in the early 2000’s MINT factory cases of the Edmonton Oilers were found in quanties of plenty. The good news is that finding mint factory sets of SOME of these teams now brought the market some MINT never touched mini cards. The bad news is that the Oilers set is the EASIEST set of the 20 teams to find! Lots of 50 sets of JUST the Edmonton Oilers are selling for less than $0.75 each on auction in April of 2013.
All other teams were much harder to find than the Oilers team set as they did not make as many of these and they were not as sought after as the Gretzky led Oilers!
Plastic mini card facts
The size of each card was about about 5.4 cm X 3.2 cm each (2.1 inches X 1.25 inches) with a hole punched in the top corner where a keychain would go through.
Shipping is $2.99 to Canada and the USA ($1 more shipping per set). Shipping is $7.99 ($2 more shipping per set) anywhere else in the world. I will combine shipping the best I can if you purchase multiple sets.
