To go along with my last post, I was also able to
land another Super Script for my set. These things are still pretty hard to find now, so anytime I can get one its a good day for my collection. Plus, its fun to see some of the names from back then.
This one is card #205 and features Michal Sivek
of the Prince Albert Raiders. It is serial numbered 10/25 on the front. Fun
fact about this one: the right half of this photo is on the Milan Kraft card
from this set. That's something you don't see every day.
One of the fun things about the CHL subset is researching how the player
panned out as far as an NHL career. In this case, Sivek was initially drafted by the Washington Capitals 29th overall in 1999. He never actually played a game for the Caps though.
The reason why: Sivek was one of three players sent to Pittsburgh in the Jaromir Jagr trade. He would go on to play 38 games with the Penguins in 2002-03 registering three goals and three assists for six points. That would be it for his NHL career.
He went from there to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in the AHL then onto Sparta Praha of the Czech league where he would play through the 2007-08 season. After that he retired from playing to become an agent for Eurohockey Services.

This one brings me to 83 total or just shy of 38%
for the entire Super Script set. It also puts me at 11 out of the 23 CHL prospects subset, so at least that part is almost halfway done.
SCE Super Script Total: 83/220
I have some Bowman CHL cards from the late 90's that I plan to sit down and flip through at some point. By the time I get around to it, I'm sure all of them will be retired. Maybe they already are.
