1990-91 Score Hockey Card - Stan Smyl

This item is a 1990-91 Score Hockey trading card, specifically featuring Stan Smyl (Right Wing for the Vancouver Canucks) and a New York Islanders goalie, likely Kelly Hrudey, in action. The card measures approximately 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches, a standard size for traditional trading cards. It is made of cardstock, characteristic of vintage sports cards. The obverse features a full-color photograph of the hockey players on-ice. The border of the card is white with a prominent red stripe along the top and bottom edges, and thinner blue stripes along the left and right sides. The Score logo in blue is present in the upper right corner. In the upper left corner, there is a golden oval emblem that reads "Rookie Card Score 10th Anniversary" which suggests this card may celebrate an anniversary or signify a rookie status for a player from the 1990-91 season, although Smyl was not a rookie at this time, so it likely relates to a special set within the Score series. The player's name, "STAN SMYL", is printed in black at the bottom left, with his position, "RW", to the right. A small silhouette of a hockey player is also located in the bottom right corner. The card appears to be in good overall condition with sharp corners, minimal edge wear visible, and good color saturation. No significant creases, tears, or surface abrasions are immediately apparent from the image, indicating it has been well-preserved.
