Dean Youngblood, as played by Rob Lowe in the film Youngblood, done 1984-85 O-Pee-Chee style. This card was one of the twelve finalists in Beckett Hockey Magazine's Custom Hockey Card contest. There were some really awesome entries in that contest, so I don't expect to win. But it was still cool as hell to be one of the finalists. As a side note, the card you see above is the corrected version--on the one I emailed to Beckett, the head shot of Dean was inversed, and facing his "name".
The 1984-85 Topps/O-Pee-Chee design is hands-down the best hockey card design of the 1980s. While putting Youngblood on an '85-86 card would be more appropriate (since the movie came out in 1986), this card design is just so much better.
My only regret is that I had to take screen shots from the DVD. If it was an HD-DVD, or some sort of "high resolution" version of the film, then I might have been able to get a better-quality screen capture--and hence create a card that is higher resolution than the one I submitted. But I think it would be a cold day in hell before a high-quality, collector's edition of Youngblood comes out. Then again, the Blackhawks are now showing home games on TV, so I guess anything is possible.
