1990-1991 Topps Hockey: This pack was part of a pack lot buy I had stashed for such occasions as this - opening day in the NHL. This pack comes with four hall of famers so it is a definite win. This was a fun pack and good trip down memory lane.
I like Leader and All-Star designations which were pretty common among Topps cards.
The design on these isn't too bad but it definitely needed a team logo on there somewhere. The backs have that familiar Topps back from the era with plenty of stats. I also think the photos are good.
Team cards are always fun.
A Flames appearance. Johansson didn't pan out but I like the Top Prospect on the card. Anything helps break the monotony of base cards. Not that these were boring. Just nice to have some variety especially in sets that don't have many inserts. Happy first day of the season!
BREAKDOWN:
14 – Total Cards
1 – All-Star

Not the biggest fan of 1990-91 Topps... but that Fuhr is a truly nice looking card.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Seen better designs but I like the look of some of the individual cards.
DeleteNice! I just opened up two packs of these on my blog. I like the design. Pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely solid. I do like the photos.
DeleteReally nice pack! This set has a lot of nostalgia for me, as my hockey card collecting started the season prior in '89-90, so I ripped plenty of this stuff the following year.
ReplyDeleteSweet. I know I probably ripped some as a kid but don't remember for sure.
