Jaromir Jagr is still playing in the Czech league for his Kladno team. Just picked up his 2020-21 cards, technically his 31st year cards. He's a wonder of the world at this point...

Hockey is sooooo underrated, thanks for enlightening the young collectors

1990 was one of the greatest rookie classes in hockey history..if it wasn’t the junk wax era and this class was 5 years earlier we would have been looking at sets like the 86 fleer basketball set..

Thanks for giving hockey some love. Mogilny and Forsberg are my favorite all time players so this was cool. What a class that 1990 group!

Love that 1990 OPC set... i think there's only 130 or so cards in it.. Its loaded with rookies & HOFs ....Great set to collect

Lived through and collected this era HARD, have virtually every card on the list. My Federov came back PSA 10 and my Jagr is still getting graded, which im confident will be a 10 too. Good Vid.

Big hockey fan here, so thanks for making this video. Nice Swingers reference!

Jaromir Jagr is still playing professionally in Europe.

Just started collecting hockey cards last year, really glad to see some hockey focused videos

Love the "Swingers" reference to open the show.

Nice list. Brings back a lot of memories. I used to have most of these cards. Yikes. I remember the Lindros craze as if it were yesterday. Cheers, Marcus

1990 was an amazing class of hockey players. Great information, thanks for sharing.

Love that you are covering more hockey! As a hockey guy who collected Kariya in the 90s I have to point out that Paul Kariya had a 91-92 Upper Deck Czech Rookie card. I was surprised to not see Keith Tkachuk on the list!

Wow! I have just about all of these Upper Deck rookie cards (English Versions) and more! And they are all in perfect condition as they were put in sleeves as soon as I got them.I was all in when Upper Deck came onto the scene. I also have the Eric Lindros , Canadian version of the Score rookie card. I remember buying it from a card store in plastic sleeve that still has price tag of $12.75 on it!😁

Big fan of the cards I collected as a youth maintaining some value. Some solid players in that 1990 class. Yeesh.

Pretty sure I (and most collectors of that time) have 1 or more rookies of all of these players lol. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for this! I double checked and I have the Brodeur, Mogilny, Reechi, Zubov, and Hasek rookie cards. Bought the Brodeur one for $3 25 years ago.

Thanks for doing this video. Helped me to pick up a couple of cards I should have in my PC.

Awesome.. you just summarized my teenage years perfectly. These cards were the focus of my life for the early 90's. I've got them all, but I doubt any would be in PSA 10 condition.

I found a few of these cards! Glad to see someone make a vid about this!

Nice seeing you do some hockey!

great video. i love ice hockey card collecting. can't wait for the 1995-1999 one!

as a huge hockey fan, thank you so much for the video! i was already familiar with the cards i have most of them stored away somewhere but wow what a trip! my fav is my lindros rc bgs autentic auto. keep up the great work Chris!

Man this is my childhood. John leclair and Eric lindros or and recchi dude played forever. I'd like to add for a brutal sport alot of these players had some longevity

I'm so fortunate. I sent a pair of Jagr OPC rcs to PSA two days before they doubled their prices. Then two months later just mailed away rcs for Lidtrom before PSA shut the gates. Maybe I'll see them next year LoL

This is awesome.... I own 2 Jagr O-Pee-Chee rookie cards, a Fedorov, 2 Pavel Bure and Matt Sundin Upper Deck rookie cards. Watching this has made me pull out my collection. Thx! 😊👍

I bought a few collections this past year and went through all the baseball and basketball and set aside the hockey because I wasn't that knowledgeable, but this list helps a lot. Can't wait to go through them and find the hidden treasures

I have pretty much all these cards. Only thing is I dont have them graded, thats my next investment. Thanks for this inlfo my friend. Wish my mom was here to see this.

It's funny that you just made this video because just yesterday I went HAM buying Sergei Fedorov rookies.

Thanks Chris, I always love playing “I have that card!” When you do these great videos, thanks!!

All of your videos are a great watch, but I especially love your hockey card videos! Keep up the great work! This is easily the most informative KZfaq channel regarding the hobby.

Awesome video ... I can see why I loved hockey so much back during this time !

I used to work for a distributor/ wholesaler and sold cases upon cases of all those cards from that era and used to buy boxes upon boxes for myself. I must have a good 50 of all these all in sleeves and never touched since back then let alone the rest of those sets and unopened boxes.

Chris, if I didn’t already respect you and your channel, quoting the best movie of all time “Swingers” put you over the top! Well-played, sir!

Great to see some spotlight on hockey thanks Chris.

the 1990 hockey class is arguably the best class in all of sports history...it is loaded with hof rookies that year...i love that 1990 score set..that set is so underrated. not to mention the red/white and blue colors of the set.

it always annoys me when people say 90s hockey is junk wax when the psa 10 pop counts are only 300-500 at most, and then modern hockey has pop counts in the 1000s and people pay top dollar for unproven rookies. makes absolutely no sense.

Really appreciate you covering hockey - very underrated and I hope you scored a Kirill Kaprizov card from Upper Deck Series 2

I don’t collect hockey but still interested to have knowledge in case i run into a collection. Thank you.

Another great video, well done!

good vid. just when i thought i had my cards all sorted, now i have to go back & make sure i didnt pull any of these out by accident. lol

Great list! One itty bitty suggestion/request when you do these lists - when the highest value card is the French or Canadian version, it'd be great to also mention the American version price as a comparison. I have the US version of most of the French Upper Deck or 90 Canadian Score cards from your list, and now I'm curious what the price difference is...

My dad recently left me a large collection of hockey cards from 89 -93 and I remember seeing some of these cards in there. They’re probably not in 10 condition but it’s nice to know what some are currently worth!

I’m going out for the day for a medical appointment but I can explain why the 90-91 rookie card class is so insane, best class all time not only in hockey cards but all trading cards possibly. I’ll do so later tonight. Quick note, players 21-25 would be even more interesting to list since they won’t be as obvious and thus more revealing, guys like Tkachuk and Brind’Amour. Also, there should be an honorable mention on 91-92 Pro Set Platinum S2, Fred Rogers rookie. Awesome vid, we love you for your hockey takes.

Thanks again for the hockey vid, the hockey faithful are as always grateful. As to why the 90-91 rookie card class is so good... 1) First year other companies made cards; before, Topps would wait sometimes years to give a player a card. Other than rare cases like Lemieux, Topps always waited for a player to play more than a full season. 2) Multiple generations of player classes, 90% UD, 10% Score going deep on prospects. Plus an exceptional rookie class in 89-90 (Modano, Roenick, etc.), and insane draft in 1990. You can see the generations by looking at the 1OAs as RCs in 90-91: Modano 1988, Sundin 1989, Nolan 1990, Lindros 1991 in the future. That’s four+ draft classes including one generational class 90, one generational player 91 Lindros. So we had the standard Topps rookie class, plus last year’s picks playing like Sundin, then last year’s absurd first round (Jagr 5th overall, Brodeur too plus another like 12 guys who made at least one All Star team), plus Upper Deck’s WJC Team Canada so you get Lindros in Score and Niedermayer in UD WJC TC for players not even drafted yet. Oh and I forgot to mention the iron curtain coming down so not only satellite countries like Czechs and Jagr, but two full generations of the best of Central Red Army’s greatest starting squads

Belfour best rookie is his upper deck i am glad you did this list this era hockey cards needs to be recognized so many great players. I am pretty much hockey only collector, and boxing cards

Cujo is in the OPC Premier set. I suppose you consider the 1991-92 Upper Deck Czech set an oddball/parallel, but the Kariya card is worth a mention. Jagr is still active in the Czech league and has expressed interest in returning to the NHL.

Thanks for the video, really enjoyed the 80s hockey one too. Hopefully you can do a 95 to 99 version too

Thanks for the info. I tried building a 89-90? Topps set from packs. Collation was not my friend. Wish I looked out for and kept these.

Great vid! Funny, when I look back, I have a lot of these cards except the premier likely bc it was the most expensive.

Starting off with the Swingers reference. Love it.

Thanks for the vid, have a few of these no doubt they’re PSA 10!

The Score Future Superstar Eric Lindros Canadian version sold for $30 CDN back in 1990...my father bought three of them at that price. IMO Lindros carried a lot of hype, but definitely lived up to it. He definitely deserves his HOF induction.

Great video. I appreciate the time and effort you put into this. Thank you for sharing

I pulled a sweat Brodeur RC and getting it graded. Thanks for sharing as I'm going to open 1990 UD cards for my Chanel. Hockey is not my sweet spot but I like to rip anything lol

The 90 class is considered one of the best ever. Great video!

That Lindros was the card to get when I was a kid. Still have two. US and Canadian.

New Sub here and just got back into the hobby 2 weeks ago sonce the 90s , Thanks for Sharing

Great video! I’ve got the Nicklas Lidstrom OPC rookie card !

Wow a couple of months ago i bought a couple of big boxes of early 90s hockey at a garage sale. Didnt really know the value of any of it but i literally have a multitude of each card you just shown all in mint condition. Also a treasure trove of wayne gretzky. Video was very helpful. Thanks!

Love the hockey content! Also the Iginla card has a die-cut variation to it as well!

Nice vid! Love the nod to Swingers!

That was a great video 👌 thank you for this hockey content. I was actually lucky enough to keep my jagr and have it still in good shape. The premier rookie also.

Joseph is in the OPC Premier 1990 set #51 right after #50 Jagr and is the most expensive of his rookie cards

Some of my favorite cards!

I have that Brodeur card. It’s going to be a family airlume. Am a huge Devils fan. Surprised not to see Scott Neidermayer on this list

Thanks for the Hockey!

I own every Nick Lidstrom rookie card. I’ve been a collector of sports memorabilia and cards for 30+ years. I’m a die hard Detroit Red Wings fan. If you look at his rookie card from Sweden, they spelled his name wrong which adds value. It’s a upper deck card. They spelled his name wrong on a few of his rookie cards. I’m a season ticket holder for the Red Wings. I’ve meet quite a few Red Wings throughout the years. Nick gave me his stick and signed it. He also signed the rookie cards and jersey. As of right now I don’t have any plans to sell any memorabilia. One of my prizes possessions is a 2001-2002 jersey signed by every player on that hall of fame Cup winning team.

Caught my interest here for I have all of these, but mostly American version. I was big on these when upper deck came out. Thanks 4 sharing this video bro.👍. Happy Easter to you and yours.

This was the time period I was into hockey.. then the Whalers left 😞

man 1990 was such a hot year....I missed the hobby by a year or so

Thank you for uploading this. Got me inspired. Appreciate you

1990 is just awesome, I literally just bought 6 wax box and 2 factory sets!

Oh wow. I got into hockey in the mid 80s and collected cards from 89-03. I remember pulling Forsberg, Pronger, Kariya, Iginla, and Hasek rookie cards from packs. I bought Brodeur and Lindros, though I forgot how much I paid for those. I know it was less than $30 each back then and felt inflated but I didn’t care. Nice to see them still with good value.

Nice video, that's the only era I ever collected Hockey cards. Some years are just really solid for rookies, 1990 must be that year for Hockey. Ungraded copies of those cards can be had for cheap since so many were produced, I picked up a lot of them a year or two ago and was fun to have copies of cards I never had as a kid.

Hi Chris, sorry I haven't checked in lately. I have always loved collecting hockey 🏒 from the very beginning of my collecting. I own pretty much every one mentioned, English and French copies. Finally my Nordiques made it on your show. Talk to you soon my friend.

Wow, I absolutely have that Jagr rookie. Amazing

There was a lot of key rookie cards from 1990 because the NHL saw a huge migration of players from Europe and Russia during this time. Another factor for a few of these cards is in typical Topps fashion for hockey, they often wouldn't feature a player in the set for their rookie season but would wait a season or two. For example Mike Madano, Jeremy Roenick and Ed Belfour (to name a few) all have their rookie cards in 1990 sets but were all in the NHL for a least 1 or 2 seasons or more prior. Topps didn't take many risks and since the Topps and O-Pee-Chee brands had the full hockey card market share up until 1989, I guess they could do whatever they wanted to lol I recently finished up research for a Top 10 NHL rookie cards of the 1990s and even covering the entire decade, 5 out of the 10 cards were from 1990 as well. Great video as always Chris! Really enjoying the hockey content, keep it up!

Hasek and Jagr are my favorites on this list

Avid hockey collector here. Objection! I think the Fedorov red army card from the OPC set deserves some reppin. I consider that his rookie card even more so than OPC premier

Loving this series, keep up the good work m8.

Gr8 video and content Chris.. Thank you for doing this for the hockey card enthusiasts.. I am not but I can appreciate other sports cards and I remember getting the Lindros back in the day and that card was 🔥 everyone and their brother wanted it..😂 Well done mane.. Stay safe homie..👍💕🔥⚾😷

You made me remember that i have 3 binders of hockey cards from the 90'. ;) I'm looking at them right now and see if i'm lucky!

great video.. I wished i had kept my card collection.

Great video. Curtis Joseph did have a RC in OPC premier. Card number 51

Definitely my era when I started collecting, I have most of these cards.

I watched this video and broke out my old cards from that era. I have a Selanne Upper Decl rookie card where there’s three of him in the stages of shooting. I also have some of these from the list. Never ever knew any of their values before. Cool video.

Hey Chris, Great post keep the hockey videos coming! I've got most of these cards multiple times. Can you do one from the l 60's and 70's. Lots of great Bobby Orr cards from those years that the non-hockey collectors might benefit from. Cheers, stay safe.

Hmm...I have a few of these cards from back in the day.....I'm glad I put them in a box....

Curtis Joseph is in the 90-91 OPC premier set, I own one. Great video by the way

Great video, Chris! I was surprised that Curtis Joseph's best RC was the Topps version and not OPC Premier. It must be due to the pop report: 13 Gem Mint 10's of the Topps, (with only 32 copies graded by PSA), and 417 Gem Mint 10's of the OPC Premier (out of 1376 copies graded). When grading gets back to normal, it may be worthwhile to buy some raw Topps CuJo's and get them graded.

I have a lot of hockey cards still at my parents place in boxes. I am sure I have some of those cards. I use to collect cards back in the 80s and 90s. I needed a video like this to check to see how much my collection is worth. I don't even know what PSA even is at this point. Subbed and will keep learning from your channel. Thanks for the information .

This was right up my alley. I was heavily into hockey cards in 90-92. Thank you for this. Can you do one with same years for NBA, NFL, or MLB?

Great to see some hockey and shine the light in some of the sports great players

Just bought 50+ sealed boxes of 90-94 hockey for under $400. Wax hockey is about to hit big in the market.

Love your hockey videos. They don’t get as much love from good content creators like yourself

The reason that there were so many rookies in the 1990 season is because in 1989 the Iron Curtain fell and it allowed many of the players from the Soviet Union Czechoslovakia etc etc etc and other Bloc Nations to finally come and play in the NHL instead of just for the national team.

I'm a hockey guy(still playing, badly) and I'm impressed! Try early thru mid 70s hockey next?.. only two brands and the designs are fun... or perhaps a deep dive into early hockey cards... that would be an education for me...

Curtis Joseph "Cujo" is in the OPC Premier Set, I have a bunch of them

Let me know if anyone can name a better rookie crop than the 1990-91 Upper Deck High Series? For me, this has to be the greatest NHL rookie card set of all time! It includes 11 Hall of Famers with possibly two more to add to that list in the near future. The eleven Hall of Famers are, Jamomir Jagr, Mats Sundin, Pavel Bure, Sergei Fedorov, Scott Niedermayer, Mike Modano, Rob Blake, Ed Belfour, Mark Recchi, Igor Larionov and Sergei Makarov. The other two players that should be getting in at some point are Jeremy Roenick and Alexander Mogilny, for a total of at least 13 Hall of Famers! The rest of the following rookies were very high quality NHL players that came in the set. A couple of them could still make the Hall of Fame. They are, Mike Richter, Peter Bondra, Owen Nolan, Petr Nedved, Keith Primeau, Rod Brind'amour, Curtis Joseph, Mathiew Schneider, Kevin Stevens, Adam Graves, Mike Ricci, Trevor Kidd, Darren Turcotte, Jyrki Lumme, Bobby Holik, Robert Reichel, Felix Potvin and Pat Falloon.
