Breakin Wax: 1991-1992 Upper Deck Hockey Pack Break

Feels like Upper Deck hockey has been around forever, well, it has. With the recent news of Upper Deck locking down the NHL license all to themselves, I thought it would be fun to dig back in time and check out what the NHL has loved about Upper Deck hockey cards all of this time. Well, I know what I like about them. Do you agree...we will find out.

Every pack of 1991-1992 Upper Deck hockey comes with 12 cards per pack. There were chances at 3-D Award Winner Hologram cards and Hockey Heroes cards. Both of which I did pull but first you will have to check out the base card gallery.

Just like I recently mentioned about Upper Deck basketball cards, it's not every often you see UD use borders on their base cards. Seemed to be an early 90's thing. The one thing that separates UD from other companies no matter if they use border or not is the unique photo's they capture. It's almost like you are at the game. Just check it out for yourself.

Can't go wrong finding these three in a pack including my favorite in The Great One.

You gotta appreciate a good mullet.

For those of you who have been following my blog reads for awhile now, you know how much I dig this next card and for once my camera caught it at its greatest view.

Overall, pulling three star players including Gretzky, a Hockey Heroes of Brett Hull, and a pretty sweet hologram of Ray Bourque, I call this a really solid pack break.

Breakin Wax: 1991-1992 Pro Set Hockey Series 2 Pack Break

What Pro Set was saying were the "Hottest Cards on Ice" I had to do a one pack break to see if I agreed.

In each pack of 1991-1992 Pro Set cards there were 15 cards per pack. The cards were borderless action shots with just their name and team logo placed on the lower left hand side.

The design I am a fan of. It gives just enough detail you need on the front without taking away from the action.

I soloed out this photo because to me it appears Greg hit a home-run if you look at the way he is holding the stick and the reaction on his and the crowds face. Kinda unique pic.

Best rookie card from the pack to me, Scott Neidermayer.

I found this break to be fun. Not because of the value, but because of the photographs. Just in this one pack alone there were some fun ones to view. I assume rest of the product is the same. If you haven't done so yet, check it out.

90's Rip Party: 1991-1992 Fleer Basketball 1 Pack

Well, in this edition of 90's Rip Party, I dug way back to 1991 to break some basketball cards. The pack of choice for this break, 1991-1992 Fleer basketball.

I have always been a  fan of Fleer and the great products they put out on the market in the 90's. They had a taste for uniqueness and design coming up with great inserts and chase cards such as Pro Visions which you could find in these.

Each pack of 1991-1992 Fleer basketball contained 14 cards. The design was a big blue retangle box that runs down the left hand side of the card with the player name, team name, and position with the box. There is a small, but well taken action shot on the right hand side with a touch of red border on top and bottom of the card. This was not one of my most favorite designs from Fleer, but the photography was pretty amazing.

Now onto my break, I didn't expect anything too exciting, but one of my main goals was hit from this one pack, to find a Michael Jordan card. Which is my goal for any 90's basketball product that I open.

Check out what was in this pack below:

 

Here is what I considered the best of the best including the Michael Jordan card in bottom right corner:

Overall, this was a fun cheap break which is what the hobby should be made of. Why pay so much and get nothing then get upset when there are tons of breaks like this you can break and enjoy. I know I did.

Note: Sorry about the images. They seemed to have come out a little blurry.
