Dino Ciccarelli Emerald Ice Hockey Trading Card

This item is a vintage hockey trading card featuring Dino Ciccarelli. The card is rectangular, made of cardstock, and exhibits a predominantly deep emerald green background with a textured, almost marbled or ice-like pattern, which aligns with its "Emerald Ice" designation visible at the bottom. The central image depicts Dino Ciccarelli in a dynamic pose, dressed in a red Detroit Red Wings uniform with white accents, including the team's winged wheel logo on his chest. He is wearing a red helmet and red gloves, gripping a hockey stick. His jersey number "22" is clearly visible on his right shoulder and lower left arm. The player's name, "DINO CICCARELLI", is printed vertically in white text along the right side of the card. The card's overall condition appears to be good with minimal visible wear on the edges or corners, suggesting it has been well-preserved, possibly in a sleeve or binder. There are no obvious creases, tears, or significant surface abrasions. The vibrancy of the colors is maintained, indicating no severe fading. The card's glossy finish reflects some light, enhancing the premium feel. The construction suggests a high-quality print typical of collectible sports cards from the era, likely the 1990s given the 'Emerald Ice' series, which often featured special design elements to differentiate them from base sets.
