Lot 609
A substantial and well-preserved early 1990s hockey card archive housed in three binders - including Don Cherry’s Official Hockey Card Album - comprising large runs of four cornerstone sets from the hobby’s classic TV-era boom: 1991-92 Upper Deck Series 1-2, 1991-92 Pinnacle, 1990-91 Score, and 1991-92 Pro Set. The collection is immediately recognizable and fully verified in the photos by definitive design cues: Upper Deck’s white borders with team medallions and tuxedo Award Winners, Pinnacle’s sleek black borders, Score’s multi-color backs with circular player portraits, and Pro Set’s bold-name Prospects in tuxedos with arena checklist cards.
Includes:
Scope and highlights
1991-92 Upper Deck Series 1-2 - deep runs with Award Winners, League Leaders, team checklists, and in-suit trophy portraits - clean surfaces and edges typical of binder-kept sets - minimal duplication - a few empty pockets suggest near-complete rather than complete.
1991-92 Pinnacle - multiple pages of the black-border base set - crisp fronts with strong eye appeal - corners largely sharp from sheeted storage.
1990-91 Score - extensive run verified by unmistakable colored backs with circular headshots - a period-correct cross-section of veterans and then-emerging stars.
1991-92 Pro Set - Prospects subset in tuxedo photos and checklists are present - a substantial block indicating a meaningful portion of the year’s release.
Condition
Overall condition presents Very Good to Near Mint by modern standards - the majority appear clean and glossy with solid corners - light handling at a few top edges from page turning - binder storage has preserved centering and surface gloss well. No modern inserts, autographs, or serial numbered parallels are present - exactly as expected for these years.
While these early 1990s releases were widely distributed, demand remains strong for curated, clean, nearly complete runs housed in original binders - especially Upper Deck’s 1991-92 Award Winners subset and Pinnacle’s black-border pages that display beautifully - this lot offers immediate set-building value and a visually impressive archive for display, trade, or inventory.
The strongest value is concentrated in the 1991-92 Upper Deck run due to star content and popular Award Winners and Leaders subsets.
Next in value are the 1991-92 Pinnacle black-border pages, which are desirable when kept clean because edges can be unforgiving in play-worn examples.
The 1990-91 Score and 1991-92 Pro Set runs add significant volume and set-building appeal, completing a well-rounded early 90s portfolio.
Three organized binders - predominantly filled pages - minimal duplication - consistent presentation across teams and subsets - an ideal acquisition for dealers, shop owners, and advanced collectors who want attractive stock with instant set-building utility.
