Lots of rather obscure players sprinkled throughout. Since the NHL tightened up its licensing rules many years back I believe that goalies are the only players still permitted to appear in NHL-licensed card sets before playing in at least one NHL game. (Perhaps it's sufficient for them to have dressed as a backup?) | ||
Yeah, I consider myself kinda knowledgable about obscure goalies but there are some I've never heard of :). I think goalies can get their cards once they at least sit on a bench as a backup. I suppose that's how Brian Pitton got his infamous rookie card :). | ||
I actually have six of them. Considering how few Young Guns I actually have that surprises me it's so many. Four of them are from the 17-18 set, the only year I did a hobby box of both series. | ||
I have been going through the OPC goalies of the 80s and it's absurd when you compare the level of photography. We mock the junk wax of the early 90s but Upper Deck and competition really raised the bar for photography, especially with goalies. | ||
Just wanna give my guy a shout out for providing this list in text format for me. Big ups man!
| ||
Great list. I definitely had to update my hockey wantlist after viewing it. | ||
Thanks for the list, exactly what I was looking for to start my collection. | ||
Enjoy! | ||
Excellent list! Thank you for taking the time to make it! Was an excellent reference aid to help me complete my YG Goaltender set. I noticed the list is missing 06/07 #454 Mike Brown | ||
Omg, thanks! I've never noticed that Mike Brown is a goalie! Okay, one more to track down :) | ||
RIP Matiss | ||
Looks like Filip Gustavsson 21-22 #225 is missing | ||
Good catch! Added him there :) | ||
I have all the Upper Deck goalie cards from 1990-91 to present, excluding Young Guns. I would love to add the YG's to really make the set complete, but it may be a long process (and maybe a bit too expensive). It gnaws at me that I don't have the YG's... |
