Why it matters
1990 to 91 Upper Deck Hockey Premier Edition was Upper Deck's first hockey product, released with the same hologram-back anti-counterfeiting mechanic as their baseball flagship. The Jaromir Jagr rookie at #356 (JW50 anchor) is the box's marquee. The set also contains Sergei Fedorov, Mike Modano, and Ed Belfour rookies, plus premium photography of the entire NHL roster. Sealed wax carries a modest premium given Upper Deck Hockey Premier Edition's launch-year status.
How to identify
