1984-85 Islander News Set

The New York Islanders were my team growing up and Mike Bossy was my favorite player. I can remember deciding to get a subscription to Islander News when you got the very first 1983-84 card set free along with it. Oddly, I've found the card sets online (this one was about $10), but I can't find any of the actual newspapers anywhere.


This "2nd Series" (as noted on the backs) contains 37 cards. It was again sponsored by Islander News and issued during the summer of 1985. The key card in the set was Pat LaFontaine as it was issued concurrently with his O-Pee-Chee and Topps rookie cards.
