72' Summit Series A friend of mine and myself collect Hockey cards. I have put together a couple of complete sets, a 72' Team Canada Summit Series insert series set with only 28 cards. Even though there were only 28 cards, the set took me a while to complete, especially getting a Paul Henderson card (at left). I also have a 72' 73' OPC NHL and Summit Series reproduction cards put out in 2010 which included NHL, USSR Sumit Series players and coaches.
