I suppose it's a step up from a mugshot photo being used. Has a mugshot ever been used on a sports card? That would have to make it a collectable.

Back in the late 80s and early 90s rookie cards was the big thing and all the card companies were trying to be the first to release the first card so most of the time they used photos from draft day as preseason was months away, On a side note the 92 topps hockey card set was supposed to be 528 cards and the Lindros card is number 529 and was not orinigaly part of the set and was a last minute addtion to the set and back in 92 it was a $25 card at card shows in the NEW JERSEY/SOUTH PHILLIE area
