1990-1991 Score Hockey

1990-1991 Score Hockey:  The Stanley Cup Finals is underway with the Dallas Stars leading 1-0 over the Tampa Bay Lightning.  Game 2 is tonight and I'd like to see Tampa Bay win the series for no good reason.  Both teams have one championship in their history.  This pack starts off with Hall of Famer Joe Sakic who won two Stanley Cup Championships with the Colorado Avalanche.  
The fronts are fairly bland really but there is something about them I like.  The small stripes, the little players representing each position.  It just works for me.  And what about that phase photography (just made that up) on those All-Star Cards.  The backs are nice as well though more stats through the years would be cool. 
Young players? Check..  Most important here is that while Darryl Sydor's career was good he won a Stanley Cup Championship with both Dallas and Tampa Bay.  How about that?  
This was a fun pack.  Gretzky or Lemieux would have been a lot more fun but this was good.  Especially after learning that little nugget about Darryl Sydor.  I'll have more hockey as the Stanley up progresses.

  1. Love this set. Shame they produced so much of this stuff... because it's one of the coolest hockey sets from the 90's.

    1. It really is a fun set. Hate seeing it be part of the junk wax era too.
