I've always thought the Jets cards are some of the best-looking in the set. Their early '80s uniforms are really interesting and I blame the later move to Phoenix on the sheer dullness that was the 1990s design.
Lukowich was a pretty good player in both the WHA and NHL, from a not-bad-at-all hockey family -- he's related to Bernie Lukowich of the Blues and Penguins and current journeyman defenseman Brad Lukowich. This signature is a bit curious. Every Lukowich signature I've ever seen (including several others in my collection) are either his full name or "Luke" followed by "12." This one, though, is "Luke 212." That suggests a Bible verse (and there's both a Luke 2:12 and Luke 21:2), but neither shed any light. Maybe he was just writing fast.
During this season, he was traded from the Jets to the Bruins; he'd also play for the Kings before calling it a day.
