Here we have another O-Pee-Chee rookie card for Mr. Modano. The 1990 O-Pee-Chee Mike Modano rookie card is numbered #348 and shows Modano taking a shot during warm-ups while sporting the classic green Minnesota North Stars jersey.

1990 Score RC #120 (buy on eBay)

The 1990 Score Mike Modano rookie card is a thing of beauty showing a babyface Modano galloping down the ice while looking up for the puck (his face seems to say why is the puck not on my stick?)

1990 Pro Set RC #142 (buy on eBay)

The final card on our Modano rookie card list comes from Pro Set (RIP). Kids who grew up in the late ’80s and early ’90s are very familiar with Pro Set and will most likely bring back a flood of memories of old card shops that have gone out of business since.

Kids coming to age in the early 1990s will never forget Pro Set hockey cards

The 1990 Pro Set Mike Modano rookie card is actually our favorite RC out of all of them based on looks and nostalgia… and it still makes for a good investment in terms of ROI… buy, buy, BUY!
