If you were a kid back in the 80’s or earlier and cards came into your possesion that were either perforated or meant to be cut apart they most likely were.
Today it seems everyone takes the cards as these magical things and would never do it, but back then we just did it and didn’t think twice about it. They were supposed to be cut apart or separated. Stickers were stuck to things etc.
One of the results of that is that as a collector today trying to finish off some early sets I had the choice to collect them as separated or as attached.
I, of course, chose the hard way and am trying to do both.
From the separated collection I added one more from the 1985-86 Kelloggs Accordion Disc set. These came in horizontal panels of perforated cards with 6 players per strip. They also came inside a plastic puck with a team logo you could put on the front.
In total there are 6 panels of 6 cards so a total of 36 cards and with a mix of the top players are there including Kurri, Goulet, Lowe & Bossy. But lots of missing superstars as no Gretzky, Messier, Bourque (Middleton reps Boston), and NO Yzerman as we get Reed Larson instead.
From the not separated file I added a couple panels from the 1983-84 Vachon set.
These came in 2 card vertical panels in some products and as singles in others.
These covered only the Canadian team but the checklist is stacked if the player you wanted was on one of these teams. There are 141 cards in a complete set (140 base and one error card).
With about 20 cards per team you get your Gretzky, Messier, Kurri, Fuhr, Moog, Coffey, Lowe etc from the Oilers and the same depth on the other teams.
No real stats but the backs are nice. French is first for a change as English usually goes first on cards in Canada but Vachon was def a Quebec company.
These were one of my favourites to collect as a child. Especially the Jos. Louis and the Ah Caramel cakes. YUMMY

Used to play hockey with those pucks! They’d always explode open and the cards would go flying out of them. If I recall there were regular orange pucks and then “special” black ones

Don’t remember orange ones. Except the ones from Canadian tire!
