Back Stories: Morozov Memories

"Aleksey set career highs in goals (20), assists (29) and points (49) in 2001-02, eclipsing his previous bests (12 G, 19 A, 31 P) from 1999-2000, when he wore this Pens home sweater."

Notice in the wording it says "this Pens home sweater", assuming they mean this exact one we see here. As in, "We tracked down the sweater that was in this exact photo on here, cut it up, and stuck a small piece of it in this card that you now hold in your hand. Enjoy!" 

At least, that is certainly the way I'm taking it now and will into the future. It's way better than the typical BS that is printed on many cards these days. Something more like, "This piece of whatever it is in this trading card was worn or used or looked at or possible was in the same room as the person/place/thing in the picture. We can no longer confirm or deny it's authenticity. Best of luck to you in the future. Happy collecting!"

Cards were different 20 some years ago.
