Beezer!!!!!! I wish I could get $50 for my Beezer RCs!

I love those 95-96 Finest cards!

But how could a Yzerman RC just only be $10 more than Vanbiesbrouck!?
Now that's a huge difference now and then because Yzerman didn't got same hobby-love at 1997 as now if I'm correct.
It was ineed a another time before when Red Wings finally won SC first time for a long time and started a new dynasty and when Yzerman changed his playstyle....

In 1997, Vanbiesbrouck was with the Florida Panthers. The Panthers had advanced to the Stanley Cup Finals in 1996, losing to the Avalanche. That may explain the jump in value of his RC.

Yzerman had not yet won a cup when this list was published. Ironically, the Red Wings did win the cup in 1997.

I have 4 of the top 10, that's not bad, too bad it's not 1997 anymore, but I sure love seeing these old top 10 lists

Everyone notice that every one of those cards is a common issue?

Not one is a parallel, an insert of a mind-numbing piece of fabric. The way it should be.

That's fun to see. Makes me want to pull out my old Becketts.

The inserts, parallels, game used, autographs, etc. had their own top 10. I scan both but usually post the non insert part first. The insert part will be posted soon.

Why does it have to be a certain way? Collect what you like, there's no blueprint.
