In the parallel set the maple leaf on the top front of the player cards is foil embossed. Special cards (e.g helmet cards) from the base set did not have a maple leaf on the front but a foil embossed maple leaf was added on the front of the parallel set. I remember opening packs and it was easy to miss the foil on the player cards.
Cards were available from Humpty's Restaurant in the prairie provinces in Canada (Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba) and featured players from teams in that area (Edmonton Eskimos, Calgary Stampeders, Saskatchewan Roughriders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers).
There was four packs to collect. Each pack contained one card from each team and a contest card.
