Pro Set captures the sizzle and excitement of NHL Hockey with all new, 1990 NHL Pro Set Cards. In 1989, NFL Pro Set established a new standard of quality and enjoyment for trading-card collectors. I’ve taken the liberty of transcribing the text, since the text on the image above might be hard to read: The back has a lot of text and reiterates the Pro Set logo. Instead, it all just looks like a bunch of clutter. Pro Set wanted to play off of their tagline of “The Hottest Card on Ice” by showing the cards in a face-off. The puck partially covers the Gretzky card - why would you ever do that? - and the sticks are only visible between the cards, but not on either side of the cards. The puck and stick blades are smaller than the cards (which are actual card size). Sadly, this little offbeat Pro Set memento is way too overdesigned. There’s also two hockey stick blades - mostly obscured by the cards - and a beat-up hockey puck.
The front of the sell sheet pictures Pro Set cards of Brett Hull and Wayne Gretzky at actual size. This sell sheet, which measures 6″ x 6″, was given out in Canada in the summer of 1990 to promote the forthcoming release of 1990-91 Pro Set Series 1 Hockey cards. Yes, they were printed by the boatload and had a ton of errors, but the set was colorful, had a ton of different cards to collect, and the most sought-after hockey insert ever made: the Stanley Cup Hologram!
Even almost 30 years later, it remains one of my favorite card sets of all time. Anyone who knows me knows how much I love the 1990-91 Pro Set Hockey card set.
