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.
