Hockey History As Told By Cardboard - PK Subban


The flamboyant and unusually vocal PK Subban is certainly a sometimes polarizing figure in the NHL.  His style and outspoken personality injects a lot of spark to the often dry, wrote delivery of many NHL stars.  

The 2019-20 season marked Subban's 11th in the NHL and his first playing for the New Jersey Devils. The Jersey fan base was excited when the Devils acquired the all-star defenseman in June 2019 via a trade with Nashville.  He scored his first goal as a Devil on October 17, 2019, when he deposited the puck into an empty net with 48 seconds remaining to put the finishing touch on New Jersey's 5-2 victory over the New York Rangers.

Ah, the Franken-Card.  Or as some may affectionately refer to it...the Cardboard Abomination.

Those of you out there that collect trading cards are well aware of their existence and if I were to guess, mostly loathe them.  This is the trading card "phenomenon" where a player is pictured and has contradictory representation in their uniforms or team designation.  In my opinion as a "no-one ever proclaimed me to be a trading card expert" expert, I see there to be three basic levels of franken-cards.
