16 MUST HAVE hockey cards from the 1990s 

Thanks for your comment, appreciate it! Exactly what you describe in your comment is what made collecting hockey cards so exciting when you were a child. I could buy 2-3 packs of hockey cards a week with my weekly allowance. The chance to pull one of the good players/cards is not that great, but the opportunity was there and it still is even now that we are adults and buy boxes instead 😃👍

i got all the rookie Lindros card,,,even in french version too :)

from box,,to platic protec right away,,so all very very good condition

Thank you! 😃👍 I agree with you about LeClair, then there are a dozen more players who should be included so there will probably be a part two just like when I made videos about cards from the 80s 🥅🏒🚨

Thank you! Agree with you, Cujo belongs in the HOF!

1990-91 was the first season when you could buy "North American" hockey cards in my hometown in Sweden. I also bought my fair share of hockey cards so I know the feeling. my favorite was the 1990-91 score 😃👍

Hasek ruled the crease back in the 90s. He was always a beast against team Sweden.

That's the coolest thing I've heard/seen in my channel's comments since I started making youtube videos. Please tell me more! Do you remember what match it was?

@@TheSwedishHockeyCardCollector 1992 or '93 at the Met Center in Bloomington against the North Stars.

Thank you my friend! I had so much fun making this video 😊👍

Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment. I appreciated it! The most exciting thing about hockey cards and sports cards in general is that everyone has their own special favorites when collecting 😃👍

Thank you Card Wolf! 😃👍 Do you have any favorite cards or players from that time?

Thank you very much for your nice comment. I really appreciate it! The feeling when you opened packs in the 90s 😍 By the way, have you watched my video about the most iconic insert sets of the 90s? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DhRH1iJnUTc.html

Thank you! 😃👍 Do you have a favorite player from the 1990s?

Thank you for your nice comment! 😊👍

Thank you! Just ”found” your instagram. So many nice cards 😍🔥

@@TheSwedishHockeyCardCollector thanks, Bro! That one is mixed sports, PSA10s! I also have one just for raw hockey but I don't want to overload you too much.

I am too young to have seen Dryden play. However, my father was a big fan of Dryden and has told many cool stories. Dryden was/is a real character 😃👍

Really appreciate you watching and leaving nice comments! 😃👍 90-91 Is a very special year for me. It was the first year we could buy North American hockey cards in my hometown. The owner of a candy store started selling hockey cards. It's great fun to have these old rookie cards so much nostalgia. my hope was to bring that nostalgia to life in those who watch the video. So much today is about the "value" of hockey cards. Back then it was the joy of opening packs and finding your favorite players, trading with friends and trying to get money for more packages 😄

@@TheSwedishHockeyCardCollector I agree 100%! That 1990 draft class was amazing! I'm a terrible investor. I recently got back into collecting and I've gotten some pretty big hits. I think about sending them away for grading for resale then I get sentimental and decide to keep them 🤣. It's actually pretty sad, but the key is having fun. Hockey cards bring out the kid in all of us and that's what its about. For me, its the ruler hockey championships we had in elementary school, making custom hand colored goalie masks out of cereal box cardboard and my coleco tabletop hockey game and the dreams I had about having all the teams to play with instead of just Toronto and Montreal. Good times!

Thank you my 🇨🇦 brother! That means you have a really nice collection of rookie cards from the 90s 😃👍

@@TheSwedishHockeyCardCollector I sure do!

Thank you for your comment! Appreciate it! 😃👍 I agree about Mats Sundin. Great that you built a Selanne PC. He is my favorite Finnish player. Even so, I have never managed to collect so many of his cards.

Thank you! 😃👍🙏

Thats awesome! By the way, Lindros rookie card has to be one of the ugliest rookie cards ever made 😄👍

Thank you for your nice comment appriciate it! 😃👍

Thank you! 😃👍 Do you have any favorite Buffalo players from the 1990s?

Thank you! 😃👍

Thanks for watching! 😃👍 I also want to thank you for your nice comment! I also have lots of RC cards from the 90s and 80s. To me it matters less how much they are worth. I think it's great to have them and collect them. Sometimes I miss the 90s when you were very happy every time you got one of your favorite players in a pack even if it was just a base card 😊

@@TheSwedishHockeyCardCollector Indeed. As a collector it's just nice to see hockey fans from all over the globe collecting and enjoying hockey cards. I've been collecting since the late 80's, so this was my "era" growing up - and as a Blackhawks fan I used to get so excited when I pulled a Belfour, Roenick or Hasek rookie, I mean I would be excited all day, lol. I loved Hasek because growing up I played goalie and I thought Hasek was the most unique goalie I had ever seen (then and ever) - and both Roenick and Belfour were superstars from the very beginning.. I left the hobby around 1997/98 because I was 17-18 years old and "cards were for kids", I had a girlfriend and it wasn't "cool" anymore, lol - but I got back into the hobby in 2016, and have been collecting heavily ever since. When I first got back into the hobby I opened a TON of this junk wax stuff and it was just as fun breaking it as I remember it to be, and I was just as pumped when I pulled a Roenick, Belfour or Hasek rookie... And of course when I got back into the hobby as an adult I had more money to spend on cards, lol so I was buying boxes and boxes of "junk-wax" for $5-10 bucks a box and had a blast breaking it.. These days I buy, sell and trade cards on the side part-time to make some supplemental income - and of course because it's just fun and hardly a "job". And over the last 5-6 years or so I've managed to build a pretty substantial collection.. I now have roughly a million cards, lol - I have a large room dedicated to sports cards, so yea. haha. Perhaps sometime we can trade some hockey cards. International shipping to Sweden is a bit pricey but sometime it makes sense for the right trade. I enjoy trading cards instead of just selling them, I mean that's what cards are for - they're for trading which is why they're called "trading cards", lol.. That and trading is fun.

@@Swoop187OG187 What a great post to read! Our stories are very similar. As a Swedish child, I started following the NHL in the 80s when my residential area got satellite TV. We got a "window to the world" that was bigger than Sweden's two state television channels at the time. We could see Gretzky, Messier, Lemieux and all the other hockey stars, we could watch Wrestling with Hulk Hogan, He-man and Transformers. It was so much fun. North American hockey cards didn't come to my hometown until 1990-91 and I collected until our local cardshop closed in 1997. Most of my old collection was unfortunately destroyed when our basement were flooded but I've been buying, selling and collecting since 2006, with a few breaks along the way.

@@TheSwedishHockeyCardCollector Wow, how ironic - I grew up with a satellite dish too (the really-really big ones, 15 feet) My mom even painted the Blackhawks Indian Head logo on the front of the dish. My dad actually ran a small company installing satellite dishes on the weekends back in the 80's to make supplemental income for the family. And both parents were also huge Blackhawks fans to boot. Unfortunately (believe it or not) Hawks home games were "blacked out" er not televised on local TV until 2006 - but obviously with the dish in the 80's/90's we could get the "live feed" straight from Chicago Stadium. I mean it took a while to find the live feed because you had to scan every satellite, but 95% of the time I could find it, lol.. Interesting, we appear to be around the same age (I'm 43) and we had a similar childhood and upbringing/story... Also, my local card shop moved towns in 1997. I actually worked there from the ages of 14-17, but by the time the card shop moved I wasn't into collecting anymore... Then one day back in 2016 I had to buy a birthday present for my nephew so I was in the toy section at Walmart. I saw some hockey cards and I started to get real nostalgic and decided to buy a few blaster boxes, some fat packs and Tins - I spend like $120 bucks - I thought it would be a fun break, I wasn't expecting to get any value out of it other than fun and nostalgia... But I ended up pulling 2 Auston Matthews Young Guns and also his Young Gun Jumbo card from one of the blasters (among other nice YG's) - and I had absolutely no idea how much they were worth until like 3 weeks later when I was bored and decided to look them up on ebay, lol.....I almost fell out of my seat when I saw Matthews YG was selling for $250 each - Boy oh boy I fell in love with the hobby all over again - not only that but I realized cards in 2016 held enough value where I could make some nice cash on the side just participating in a hobby I already love, lol.... Don't get me wrong - I'm a true collector, but I also like to make a few bucks on the side - and I rarely if ever sell anything out of my personal collection. Yea, I would rather trade cards out of my personal collection for other cards I intend to add to my personal collection... So yea, it's pretty wild we share a lot in common, eh? lol

Thank you! How happy I am to hear that you have all the cards that are in the video 😃👍 Out of curiosity: Which of these 90s cards is your favourite?

Has to be the Brodeur rookie. I am a Martin Brodeur super collector...I have close to 400 unique Brodeur cards!

@@ripemall4548 Thats great! Im also a big fan of Brodeur, amazing goalie 😃👍

@@ripemall4548 How long have you been collecting Brodeur cards?

Around his last cup run in 2009/10 My wife has a tattoo of his mask!

Thats nice! 😃👍 Out of curiosity; Which/who are your favourites?

@@TheSwedishHockeyCardCollector I’d have to say the 90-91 Score Jagr and Brodeur.

@@danbetler408 Good choice of players! It's amazing that Jagr is still playing ice hockey 😃👍

@@TheSwedishHockeyCardCollector out of all the boxes I bought. I only pulled 1 Jagr, but I have 7 of Brodeur.

@@danbetler408 It's interesting. I Wonder how they organized the mix of cards when they were packaged back then.

Thank you so much for your nice comment! I'm working on creating a channel for everyone who loves hockey cards and the NHL. 🥅🏒

Thank you 😃👍

Thats great! Which one/ ones are your favourites?

@@TheSwedishHockeyCardCollector I bought a storage shed with over 1 million cards. Guy must have owned a card shop. Has Ever thing from music cards to marvel cards. Taking me a year to go thru this stuff.

@@waltercopus1485 Thats amazing 😃👍

@@TheSwedishHockeyCardCollector you in Sweden?

Thanks for always supporting my channel! Your support means a lot to me! I hope all is well with you my friend 😃👍

Thank you for your nice comment! I also have a lot of RC cards from the junk wax era. Like you, I love to collect them and don't think much about how much they are worth. For me as a Swede, it makes no sense to send them for grading as it will be too expensive.

Ok! I watch some football 🏈 My best friend growing up has an American mother who was a huge New York Jets fan. She taught us the rules and how the game works.

@@TheSwedishHockeyCardCollector one of my best friends is from Stockholm. Larry Moritz, he was a boxer he's back home now in Sweden.

Thanks for your comment and welcome as a subscriber 😃👍 Sakic is in one of my 80s videos. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g0DTUJWfjkU.html

Thats great! 😃👍

You are a wise man who speaks the truth my brother! 😃👍🥅🏒

Did you have a favorite player back then?

@@TheSwedishHockeyCardCollector Huge Patrick Roy fan. Was/am a goalie and share the same last name as well.

@@mr.btheband Nice! Patrick Roy, Grant Fuhr and Peter Lindmark (Sweden's best goalie in the 80s) Were my favorites when I was growing up 😃👍

Thank you for your comment. This video is not about getting rich, it's about collecting hockey cards and which important historical players had RC cards in the 90s. My goal is to enlighten/help those who want to set up a nice collection, not to make someone rich. Too much focus in today's sportscard hobby is tragically on the value of the cards not on their beauty, history and nostalgic value.

I dont remember. It is quite possible. I love Jagr, he was a great hockey player. However, I think (and many others think so to) that his epic mullet was hillarious. So no disrespect which I hope you understand.

😃👍

You should keep em! They are not worth much in money, the value is in nostalgia and owning a piece of hockey history, many of the players who were rookies in the early 90's developed into HOF legends 😊👍

@@TheSwedishHockeyCardCollector I appreciate it but i need money lol not cards.

Thank you for your comment! There have been SHL hockey cards, but that was a few years ago now.

Thanks for your comment!

Thanks for watching 😃👍

😂 Because I'm from Sweden and English is not my first language. I do my best to make good content about hockey cards.
