1993-94 Topps Premier Finest Hockey

A while back I posted the 1993-94 Topps Stadium Club Finest hockey insert set.  Here's another Finest insert set, from the very same year, this time from the Topps Premier set.  I got this from the same seller, and for the same price as the other Finest insert set.  Like the first one, there are twelve cards in total...

One of the bigger draft busts in recent history...

Roman is the one player from this set who was still in the NHL last season.  He appeared in 68 games for the Capitals...

Lindros is probably the card I would have wanted most from this set when it came out...

The Nordiques cards look especially nice thanks to the blue border...

I think Mats Sundin is the nicest looking card in the set...



Here's a look at a back.  A little busy for me.  The back of each card contains a photo of the player with the franchise that they made their NHL debut with.  In some cases, such as with Pierre Turgeon here, this results in two different teams on the same card.

Joe Murphy seemed like an odd choice to me, but I looked and at the time that this set came out Murphy had been averaging close to a point per game over the previous three seasons.


Mario Lemieux is the lone player to be featured in both of the '93-94 Finest insert sets.


Sort of weird seeing Ramage in a Flyers jersey, given that he played only the final 15 games of his career with Philadelphia.

So, which Finest insert set do you like best, '93-94 Stadium Club or '93-94 Topps Premier?
