UNCERTAINTY GRIPS INDUSTRY AS NHLPA REVIEWS LICENSES
Year two of the modem era of hockey cards has come to an end with an air of uncertainty hanging over the industry’s future. When Pro Set, Score and Upper Deck began producing hockey cards for the 1990-91 season, the hype drove the hobby to new levels. Collectors wanted to own all the new issues and prices for most products skyrocketed shortly after they were released. It was a different story this season. Not only did new products fail to increase in value, many declined. Pro Set Parkhurst Series 1 was about the only set to hold its value throughout the year. O-Pee-Chee Premier, which fetched as much as $300 a box for the ’90-91 edition, never went much above $30 this year. Even Upper Deck, the most popular hockey cards a year…

BUSINESS CARDS
The recipe for profitability in the card-creating industry centers on the old adage that an aspiring chef needs to appreciate eating before understanding cooking. “You have to understand the hobby before you can be successful in the business end of it,” Upper Deck vice president Jay McCracken said. Look at the highest levels of management of major card companies and you will find executives with an appetite for collecting as much as producing. McCracken owns 10,000 Ruben Sierra cards, 12,000 Tony Gwynn cards and has put together eight or nine 1984 Donruss baseball sets in his spare time. Classic special project director Steve Charendoff spent several years piecing together a 1954-55 Topps hockey set. And when was the last time Pro Set president Lud Denny traded cards on a one-for-one basis?. “Last night.”…
