1991 Pro Set Platinum - #295No, your eyes are not deceiving you, this is actually a hockey card of Ralph Macchio. The 1991 Pro Set Platinum hockey set contains a series of "celebrity captain" cards, and Ralph was selected as the New York Islanders' representative. He did grow up in New York, but somehow I doubt he had a lot of time to watch Islanders games in the 1980s between the Karate Kid movies and the photo shoots for practically every teen pop magazine in existence.
With the way the Oilers put an end to the Islanders dynasty during the 80s, maybe Ralph used Wayne Gretzky or Mark Messier as motivation to chop through those blocks of ice in Karate Kid. This is truly a ridiculous card...
