1990-91 Upper Deck Hockey Forum

We have had several requests stating that all 550 cards in both the English and French sets have the 1990 and 1991 holograms, not just the first 400 cards (as was originally reported and confirmed).

I am currently taking on the task of updating both sets to include both versions of holograms for all cards, but ran into a different variation that needs some confirmation as to whether the holograms differ on those. Please help me out.

Cards 496 (Roy) & 498 (Coffey) are known to exist with and without the "Wales Conference" words printed on the front. The question I have is is one of those only seen with 1 hologram type and the other with the other? Is one of each seen with both? ARe both versions seen with both holograms?

I will begin to prepare these sets and the checklists to be apppended (and subsequently, get Admin to re-order and get the cards in the right filters), but will eventually need these questions answered, else I will skip them in the additions for now and wait until we hear otherwise on them.

Thank you for your help.

Hi there,

Thanks for your efforts. I am wondering about the full variations as there are four different holograms for the English Series and four different holograms for the French.

I've attached the chart below. I am working on the Kings set from 1990-91 with all the different versions and have some of each in my collection already, though I've not personally tracked down the "Comic Ball" or "Baseball" versions in French yet, I've seen other examples of them online.

Until all cards have been verified in these other hologram variants, they are not being added (at least not by me).

I really wish people would understand how things work here. I need other questions answered before we move on to the next huge request.

How can I help? For example, I have in my collection the following versions of 1990-91 Upper Deck #205 - Wayne Gretzky - Award Winner:

English    Hologram: Large 90s & Hockey Sticks ("1990 Version")
English    Hologram: Baseball Background ("Baseball")
French    Hologram: Large 90s & Hockey Sticks ("1990 Version")
French    Hologram: Small 91s & text ("1991 version")

.. and the

Hologram: Small 90s & Carrots ("Comic Ball")
Hologram: Small 91s & text ("1991 version")

.. are in the mail en route to me.

Please re-read my initial post. I asked about 2 very specific cards. That's how you can help me today.

Then you (and whoever else you ask) can verify the entire set for the other versions. And when you have that list finalized, we can discuss adding more then.

I can confirm that both cards in question (that I have) do have the same hologram (Upperdeck 91) and they both have Wales conference on the front. Tried my best to show it in the pics below. Hope this helps! 

I took a picture of it for reference, but cant seem to figure out how to upload pictures to the message board. Let em know if you want the pics and we can figure out a way to get them to you. 

I'll take your word for it. Thank you.

Correct versions have 1990 hologram. (corrected via a later post)

Man I wish I had seen this thing a few months ago before I pulled all my hair out. 

Would've been real tough to do since I posted this thread less than 4 hours ago.

I was hoping you actually had some info by posting in the thread. Sad to see this didn't help any.

ah shoot....sorry I meant to say both cards have the upperdeck 90 hologram.....not 91. My Bad.
