Mats Sundin card #1 1990-91 Pro Set #636

  • It's been quite a while since I've shown a Pro Set card on this blog, and I thought what better way to get the Mats Sundin collection started than with this colorful version of one of his RCs.
  • This didn't make it in the series 1 release, instead coming in series 2, released in the latter half of the season.
  • Market Watch:  25 copies of this card currently on COMC, ranging from 83 cents to $2.75.  It's kind of hard to tell if the range is reasonable, since there are probably hundreds of thousands of this card out there if this is a good range.  Beckett doesn't even list Pro Set in their price guide anymore.
  • Career goal #1 is listed on the back of Mats' card, an opening night goal against the Hartford Whalers on 10/4/90.  The game ended in a 3-3 tie, with the victim of Mats' first goal being Peter Sidorkiewicz.

Joe Sakic card #11 1990-91 Pro Set #375


  • Pro Set wrote on the back of this card that Joe was the lone Nordiques representative at the ASG.  Furthermore, his -40 rating was 4th worst on the team.   Yikes.
  • During Joe's rookie season, he averaged a point a game before the All Star break (46 pts in 46 games), but his production dropped to 16 pts in 24 games after the break.
  • Also interesting to see that this card features Joe's #19 on the front in the lower right, while his other Pro Set card for some reason put the #88 he wore in his rookie season.  I wonder who or what prompted this change..
  • I still think the old style All Star game unis are much better than the modern ones...

Joe Sakic card #10 1990-91 Pro Set #257


  • Interesting that Sakic's card front lists him with the #88, even though he hadn't worn the number in over 2 years.
  • Career game #10 for Sakic saw his point scoring streak continue; he earned an assist in a 7-4 loss to the Blackhawks.
  • This a pretty good action shot; it's not often you see 4 players on the front of a card.
