Seen this Sharks thing at a thrift store, should I buy it?

PrintSo. I found this really old Sharks poster thing. It's like... Printed wood. Anyway, it's obviously really old. It features four players (Al Iafrate, Owen Nolan, Tony Granato and Bernie something), and has them in those light teal jerseys with a big honkin' Sharks logo smack in the middle. I'm just curious to know... What season might this be from? I kinda want it (my girlfriend will like it more than I will though, I'm sure), but it'll be a pain in the ass to get home, and I'm not sure if I'll be able to hang it in my current place. It's only $5 though.
Would y'all buy it?

You kidding?
It sounds like classic Sharks merchandise, and it’s 5 bucks. You can spare 5 bucks man. I would.

But I don't have a car, it's not on the bus route, and I have to walk 30 minutes each way.

VolcanX sold me on the kajigger.

Bernie Nicholls?
OMG! NHL 99!
If you want it for a keepsake, and don’t want to sell it, then you might want to buy it.
If you want it to sell for a higher price, probably not worth it.

Nah, it'd be for my house.
We’ve already decided we’re going to have a Sharks rec room in our first house. :P

Holy Crap
I think if you told us where you found it, there would be a mad dash of FTF-ers to get it.
Just curious, how big is it? I’m just trying to imagine it in a Sharks-themed rec room. Awesome!

Um... Probably like 4' x 2'. It's big.

If you're walking
30 minutes each way, out of “Sharks Territory”, to get a $5 Sharks nostalgic work of art, then you are definitely a faithful and committed Sharks fan!
At least you’re not in Vanc., I’d worry about your safety there.

"He is one of only 8 players in NHL history to score 70 goals in one season, and one of 5 to score 150 points."
WHY HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF HIM.

Yeah I didn’t know that when I was a kid watching him play for the Sharks. I mostly remembered hearing his name on the Blackhawks. But he was awesome. I still have a vivid memory of a completely out-of-character, crushing hit he laid out on some guy in open ice.

It almost has to be from 1997 or something...
Sick find. Bernie Nicholls was AWESOME.

Update:
I TOTALLY BOUGHT IT. Ended up biking out, and strapping it to the bike and walking it home. Easy trip.
It’s dirty as sin right now, so I’ll clean it up and post some pictures.

Cool!
I found a Sharks magazine from 2001 for their 10th anniversary in a used book store for $5 and bought that a year ago. Has Nabby and Marleau in it too. I dont know most of the players in it from 2001, but its a pretty cool item to have. Congrats on your find!!!

That is very cool! And you found this up in Canada? Is it a poster laminated on wood? Sorry I asked so many questions here – trying to figure out what its made of. But its a great find!!!

Yeah, it's laminated wood.
I found it at Value Village in a stack of old art. There were a whack of other hockey ones… Mike Modano, Sergei Fedorov, Joe Sakic, Brian Leech and a Colorado team one. They were all filthy, had like this yellow sludge on them. So I brought it home and cleaned it up. :D Anyone know how to hang something like this? It’s heavy.

Well its really cool indeed. How heavy is this piece? Is there a hook on the back of it at all? Make sure you find a stud in the wall before hanging it up and get something heavy duty to hang it with. Or maybe just lean it against the wall for now?

I had that poster
I used to have that poster. I cut out each one individually, nut didn’t like how Granato’s stick blade was missing so I nailed one of my old ones onto the wall, very mixed medium.
I had that poster
I meant Nichols…but anyway, thanks for the trip down memory lane.
