What are the top junk era boxes (under $150) for "investment" purposes? My top 3 are:
1990-91 Upper Deck French High Series Hockey - I think there are 11 HOF RCs in the set. Old school 36 pack box.
The only caveat is that I would stay away from loose Pro Set or Hoops boxes because from what I remember those packs were easy to search and the sequence was known. I think this was an especially huge issue with 1989 Hoops, either cases or FASC to get the best chance to pull a Jordan or Robinson.
More than that; there are 14, presently. Some caveats for that number though:
*Some of the players on this list of HHOF 1990 UD RC's have plenty of earlier RC's issued either in foreign and/or oddball/team-issue sets, even though these cards are _also_ considered RC's.
*There is one more guaranteed to be on the list soon enough, so that is 15 for sure: Jagr. There are also some more who might potentially make it into the HHOF one day, though that is arguable. List includes Cujo and Brind'Amour for example.
*There are some other HHOF RC's from 1990 that just don't have a card issued by UD even though they have other ones. 1990 Score Brodeur for example.
*There are a lot of other good RC's of players that will fall short of being in the HHOF but are still fun RC's nonetheless. For example, Richter, Nolan, Primeau, etc.
Otherwise, the HHOF RC list from 1990 UD available in the high series packs, in order of induction:
