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...
still playing in 2023
Hockey is sooooo underrated, thanks for enlightening the young collectors
No problem at all, I Love the sport
myself!!
And Thanks!, cause it is all a out the passion of the hobby, collecting, aswel as the sports, and todays youth I feel.
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!
I found 4 of the forsbergs in my collection
@@mccullochontario3719 I spent many a day buying packs of mostly hockey cards from the 70's to the mid 90's so I have many of these cards in my collection !!
@@mccullochontario3719 the only thing, if you want it to be worth those mentioned prices you need to have it graded first which is about 25$ a card - cheaper if you have more than one to grade, and somehow hope it is in perfect condition
Love the "Swingers" reference to open the show.
Big hockey fan here, so thanks for making this video. Nice Swingers reference!
Didnt know if anyone would catch the reference :)
Ha, you have no idea how many times that line has been used in my house and I don't even like JR.
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..
That 1990-91 O-Pee-Chee Premier set should be at least 50% of what the '86 Fleer BK is. Packs should be a few hundred a piece and they can be had for $30-40 bucks. It doesn't contain a "Jordan" but still numerous HOF'ERS, print run, small set (132), similarities..etc.
Kinda like 80 81 mess bourqe gartner great one 2nd year
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.
1990 was an amazing class of hockey players. Great information, thanks for sharing.
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
I have the complete set. Mint!
@@billm5291 Nice..! I have a few of the rookies upgraded & a handful of others. Been thinking about building the whole set .!!
@@michaelcalland801 what is the complete set worth now?
@@billm5291 I'm not really sure but with the Jagr & the rest of the rookies in psa 10 ill bet its not cheap.
I like it because its not an overwhelming set to put together & there really aren't any boring commons in it ..
I remember watching the Jagr card shoot up in value late last year & it seemed like every other card in the set did too ...
I even saw the Domi sell for around $80 ...!!!!
My grandma bought me the whole set in 2011 when I was a kid for like 15-20$, still have the whole set to this day and they’re all in good condition
Jaromir Jagr is still playing professionally in Europe.
I've been holding on to some extra copies of his graded rookie cards for his retirement announcement that should be coming any decade now! :)
The man likes hockey!
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
Nice
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!
Big fan of the cards I collected as a youth maintaining some value. Some solid players in that 1990 class. Yeesh.
Great video. I appreciate the time and effort you put into this. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for uploading this. Got me inspired. Appreciate you
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
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.
Thanks for doing this video. Helped me to pick up a couple of cards I should have in my PC.
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!😁
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.
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 CZcams channel regarding the hobby.
Appreciate that!
Pretty sure I (and most collectors of that time) have 1 or more rookies of all of these players lol. Thank you for sharing!
Nice seeing you do some hockey!
Great to see some spotlight on hockey thanks Chris.
Thanks Chris, I always love playing “I have that card!” When you do these great videos, thanks!!
I found a few of these cards! Glad to see someone make a vid about this!
great video. i love ice hockey card collecting. can't wait for the 1995-1999 one!
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.
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.
Just started collecting hockey cards last year, really glad to see some hockey focused videos
Really appreciate you covering hockey - very underrated and I hope you scored a Kirill Kaprizov card from Upper Deck Series 2
Another great video, well done!
Loving this series, keep up the good work m8.
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.
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.
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! 😊👍
New Sub here and just got back into the hobby 2 weeks ago sonce the 90s , Thanks for Sharing
Nice vid! Love the nod to Swingers!
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..👍💕🔥⚾😷
Love the hockey content! Also the Iginla card has a die-cut variation to it as well!
Definitely my era when I started collecting, I have most of these cards.
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.
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!
Ha! Didnt know if people would catch that reference :)
I was waiting on your next video. Thanks
Starting off with the Swingers reference. Love it.
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
Love your hockey videos. They don’t get as much love from good content creators like yourself
Thanks for the video, really enjoyed the 80s hockey one too. Hopefully you can do a 95 to 99 version too
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 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
Same thing for me. I found of couple of these in my stach.
Joseph is in the OPC Premier 1990 set #51 right after #50 Jagr and is the most expensive of his rookie cards
I don’t collect hockey but still interested to have knowledge in case i run into a collection. Thank you.
Nobody collects hockey cards,only canadian collect them,haha
@@JohnDoe-bl8dx why r u here u only belittle the sport cause u know where the best at it
It's funny that you just made this video because just yesterday I went HAM buying Sergei Fedorov rookies.
@@nonenone7250 are you on instagram?
The 90 class is considered one of the best ever. Great video!
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.
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!
Great Job!
man 1990 was such a hot year....I missed the hobby by a year or so
Love the hockey card videos!!!
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 to see some hockey and shine the light in some of the sports great players
Some of my favorite cards!
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
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.
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.
This was the time period I was into hockey.. then the Whalers left 😞
I'm also from CT and I feel your pain
Thanks for the Hockey!
Great vid! Funny, when I look back, I have a lot of these cards except the premier likely bc it was the most expensive.
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.
Someday that Score set will take off I think. The totality of RC player selection is great. The difficult borders with those colors you mentioned are great. The problem with that set is the print run was too high to meet the hockey demand. However as the years go by and the demand rises the supply will dry up. That's how the '86 Fleer BK changed. In 1990 we saw '86 Fleer BK hand collated sets on shop shelves for $15 ea all over the place! I'm not saying the Score will be $100k a box. No way. But there will be a increase once the chase is on for True Gem 10's.
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?
Appreciate that. I have actually already done 90s videos of the other three sports.
Keep these hockey videos coming!
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 .
Happy to hear that and welcome to the channel!
Great video.
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
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!
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.
Yeah I think I will continue sprinkling in the hockey, and go back with some vintage at some point as a lot of people seem to enjoy them.
Great video! I’ve got the Nicklas Lidstrom OPC rookie card !
love your shows best you tube card stuff
That Lindros was the card to get when I was a kid. Still have two. US and Canadian.
Great video, like see your hockey videos. Take care 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
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.
Good vid. Keep some hockey coming if you can. I have a bunch of these cards to sort through.
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...
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 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
great video!
Nice video. I have tons of these cards. I should probably look into getting some graded. Lol
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
USSR squads, old guard - Makarov, Larionov, Krutov, Fetisov and Kasatonov...With that ridiculous rookie class, it was Makarov who won the Calder in 89-90. The new guard was where the hobby excitement was in Fedorov, Bure and Mogilny plus some outliers like Arturs Irbe. So those three things...iron curtain coming down, new companies coming in and pushing the limit, and finally some absurd rookie classes and draft 1990, 1991. The sick thing is the 91-92 class was very good too but by 92-93, UD had depleted the stock. One side note, another contributing factor is the new influx of hockey card collectors, many coming from baseball in 1991, liked collecting goalies. So before, there was only one goalie who was playing and being collected: Patrick Roy (goalies were considered too crazy or erratic to be collected). After the 1991 class, you had Belfour, Brodeur, Richter, Kolzig, Joseph, Hasek, Potvin, and many others not noted since they were flashes in the pan.
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!
Wow, I absolutely have that Jagr rookie. Amazing
I liked this very much.
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.
The Selanne card you're talking about is from 1993-94. His rookie card is from 1991-92.
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.
Liked for sure.
Hasek and Jagr are my favorites on this list
I might have the two Pittsburgh pens rookie cards but not graded. So I guess get them graded!!!!!! Thanks for sharing
Great video. Curtis Joseph did have a RC in OPC premier. Card number 51
