Analysis of the regular sets 1990 - 1999 and the RCs thereof
If one considers that a set must contain at the very least one RC of an NHL player that is the best RC of that player's RC inventory then, from 1990 - 1999, only 84 regular sets from that era can make such a claim. Of those 84 regular sets only 44 regular sets lay claim to having more than 1 such RC in their set. Of those 44 regular sets only 21 regular sets lay claim to having 5 or more such RCs and only 10 regular sets lay claim to having 9 or more RCs.
Listed here are those 84 regular sets. The year of the regular set, the name brand of the regular set, the number of 'Most rare and valued' RCs are written in paranthesis after that. It becomes clear looking at this list which sets, with the biggest number in paranthesis are worth most for an investor that focuses on quality RCs rather than complete sets. The total number of 'Most rare and valued' RCs per year is found after the equal sign. Of note, the RCs below encompass only the 300 RCs listed are those worth above the common card value attributed to each set.
