Mats Sundin card #3 1990-91 Upper Deck #365

  • For me, this is the Cadillac of Mats Sundin rookie cards.  It's one of the few cards from the 90-91 UD set that I actually have the card # memorized.
  • The photo reminds me of just how big hockey was for Quebec City; having the provincial flag next to the team flag tells me how deeply rooted the team was.  Until the $$ started getting out of control.
  • Market Watch:  This might be the card that ends up with the most copies on COMC in the market watch portion of my blog posts.  There are 189 copies right now on the site, ranging from 64 cents to $2.25.  I'm sure that there's probably thousands more out there somewhere.
  • Goal #3 came on 10/18/90 vs. the Flyers in the Spectrum.  It wasn't enough for the Nords as they lost 5-4.  Ken Wregget was the goalie for the Flyers that night.

Mats Sundin card #2 1990-91 Score American #398

  • I love this card featuring Sundin in his Swedish Tre Kronor uniform.  I'm not sure if I have any more cards picturing him in the blue and yellow.
  • Also interesting that he's wearing #19, instead of the customary #13 that he wore for his entire NHL career.
  • Market Watch:  Plenty of competition out there for this card, as there are 117 copies of this card currently on COMC.  The range is 59 cents to $1.50.  This is also another set that Beckett stopped listing.
  • Career goal #2 came in his 4th game, this time against the Maple Leafs.  It was part of a 4 point night as the Nords outscored the Leafs 8-5.  It would also be his first career PPG, and it came against Allan Bester.

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.
