NHL 1995 / 96 Score Black Ice Artists Proof - No 310 - Holzinger

This 330-card standard-size set was issued in one series in packs of 12-card hobby, 12-card retail and 24-card retail jumbo. Canadian packs of 5-cards each were also available. These packs also held chase cards, but because of the pack size, the odds were considerably more difficult. The fronts feature a full-color action photo on a white background with the player's last name at the bottom and the team name at the top both in team colors. The backs have a color photo with the player's name at the top. Player information, statistics and the team emblem are also on the back of the card. Subsets are Rookies (291-315) and Stoppers (316-325). The Ron Hextall Contest Winner card (#AD4) was awarded to collectors who correctly spotted four errors in a photograph in a contest sponsored by Score. The card back approximates the standard Score issue, but the front uses a silver prismatic foil background.

This 330-card set is a high-end parallel of the basic Score issue. The cards can be differentiated from the standard issue by a black foil background with the words "Artist's Proof" written throughout. The cards were randomly inserted in 1:36 packs.
