1990-91 Topps #151 Basil McRae
Of course, the most exciting part about adding this team set to my collection is that it also means I have added another Basil McRae card to the collection!
1990-91 Topps #383 Ville Siren (RC)
There is some debatable player selection in the 1990-91 Topps set. Stewart Gavin, Mark Tinordi, and Shane Churla were all missing from the set, but the likes of Siren and Berthiaume were included. Oh well...
1990-91 Topps #289 Rob Zettler (RC)
This (and it's O-Pee-Chee counterpart) is Zettler's only rookie card, and only card in a North Stars jersey.
1990-91 Topps #305 Minnesota North Stars
I just received the 1990-91 Topps North Stars team set in the mail today. It's kind of amazing, but I never really picked up any cards from this set when I was a kid. 1990 was the year that the hockey card market expanded from Topps/O-Pee-Chee to include Pro Set, Score, and Upper Deck (as well as OPC Premier). I guess that in all the excitement over the new brands, I must have decided to ignore Topps that year. Looking back, that's kind of a shame. The design was definitely more pleasing than that season's Pro Set and Score sets, at least.
