1990-91 Pro Set #437 Marc Habscheid

Habscheid spent parts of four seasons in Minnesota, topped by a 54-point campaign in 1988-89, but he never appeared on cardboard in a North Stars sweater.

1990-91 Pro Set #465 Neil Wilkinson (RC)

Neil Wilkinson was a promising defenseman who really seemed to come of age during the North Stars 1991 playoff run.  After the season, he was the biggest name lost to San Jose in the expansion dispersal draft.

1990-91 Pro Set #132 Neal Broten (Autographed)

I used to write autograph request letters to players.  I can't remember if this Neal Broten autograph is from that, or if I had it signed in person by him.  I've had it forever, though.

I'm not even sure if these count as cards, but I found a couple of unpeeled stickers in my old collection.

1983-84 O-Pee-Chee #168 Neal Broten

Neal's second-year card.

1990-91 Upper Deck #210 Aaron Broten

Aaron Broten only spent one half-season as a North Star, so his cards in the green and gold are few and far between.
