Year: 1977
Title: McDonald’s Puck Buck Pittsburgh Penguins
Size: 1 15/16″ x 3 1/2″ (with tab)
Number in Set: 18
Overview
The 18-card McDonald’s sponsored set is perforated so fans could remove the bottom tab. The top has the player’s headshot on a yellowish background. Above the photo is the McDonald’s logo and the words PUCK BUCK. The back of the top section describes a hockey term beneath the text “Hockey Talk.”
The front of the bottom tab has a hockey puck on an orange background advertising $1.00 off any $7.50 Penguins ticket. The back of the tab describes the terms of the discount.
The number on the front (next to the player’s name) is a jersey number, not a card number, so the checklist below is in alphabetical order.
