Expert note – frequently asked questions

How can the photo be dated?
By the jersey sponsors and equipment. The combination of Siemens, ČEZ, Volkswagen, O2 and Hi-Tec matches HC Sparta in the Extraliga around the turn of the 2000s and 2010s.

Is the photo signed?
No, it is an unsigned club photo card. Collectors often use such cards to obtain an autograph.

Why collect club photo cards?
Clubs issued them in limited numbers for autograph sessions and fans, with a new set for each season. Cards of less famous players are now harder to find than those of the stars.
