The card collector's view

Lindros's iconic rookie card is the 1990-91 Score #440 'Future Superstar' — a Score exclusive issued a year before Lindros was eligible for the NHL draft, when Score paid for his image rights and made the card the centerpiece of their inaugural hockey set. Counterfeits flooded the market within months. The card hit $15 raw at peak hype — huge money for a base card. He has additional pre-rookies including the 1991-92 Upper Deck Canada Cup. Modern Upper Deck SP Authentic and retrospective Flyers sets offer signed and patch options for the Big E collection.

About Eric Lindros at FreshDCards

Eric Lindros is The Big E — the most hyped North American hockey prospect since Mario Lemieux, a 6-foot-4, 240-pound center built like a power forward who refused to play for Quebec after they drafted him first overall in 1991. The Flyers traded a king's ransom to get him in June 1992 (Hextall, Forsberg, Ricci, Duchesne, Foote, Simon, draft picks, and $15M). He won the 1995 Hart and Ted Lindsay Award, led the Flyers to the 1997 Final, and was Eastern Conference dominance personified until concussions started cutting his career short.
