For close -up photos, the layout looks OK. This makes the card feel, for the most part, very congested – as if something important is getting cropped out. The majority of the cards are vertical, with the band running along the left edge. Parkhurst’s card design this season was nothing special – featuring a band with a marble-like texture and player name as well as the green Parkhurst logo. But we still get cards of second and third line players – as well as cards of anyone who was traded during the season, wearing their new uniform. Sure, there are five different cards of Wayne Gretzky in this set, which is kind of redundant. While Parkhurst was dwarfed by other sets that year (Pro Set had 615 cards, while Upper Deck topped out at 705), it still featured a lot of cards of a lot of different players. Most sets from the 1990s were huge, and offered cards of almost every player. The Final Update Set came in a small, two-part box with the Parkhurst logo on it. Ironically, the update set will cost you three to four times more than what you might pay for the other 450 cards. What slipped under most everyone’s radar was the Final Update Set – a mail-away set comprised of 25 cards.
Series Two, which was released at the end of the 1991-92 season, added another 225 cards to the set. Released in early 1992, Series One was made up of 225 cards.
The set consisted of 475 cards, issued across three series. Pro Set’s big idea was to use the name to brand another set of their own hockey cards, hoping that its nostalgic ties would help it stand out in an increasingly crowded hockey card market. Parkhurst made hockey cards from 1951 until 1964. The 1991-92 Parkhurst Hockey set was manufactured by now-defunct trading card company Pro Set, who was the first company to lease the Parkhurst name. 28532 Visits.First Parkies set in over 25 years a mediocre offering in crowded 90’s market If you have any I may need please email me at by Michael Ford. I find these tough regional sets so much more interesting than the sets produced for large scale distribution (in Canada and the USA).
Watching over the years-particularly my childhood favorite Boston Bruins, home state Ducks (and Sharks & Kings) and the great Oilers, Canadiens, Avalanche and Penguins Dynasties. This is my collection of various team promotional (SGA-Stadium give away) card sets as well as team issued postcard/card sets.
