If the fun is in the collecting then where's the fun? Buying factory sets takes the "collecting" out of collecting. But I saw a 1990 factory set at an auction at a local card shop without any bids. I ended up getting it for $2. 792 different cards for 200 pennies. Yeah, I still probably overspent by about a buck-eighty, but whatever.EggRockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02595253834504194842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-37421188404257653572012-12-19T12:45:15.318-05:002012-12-19T12:45:15.318-05:00Kevin Maas.

And the color combo of the borders is so late 80's/early 90's, it's scary.

I know you think it's sacrilege to say this, but I think it's the sister set to '75 Topps, like 62/87.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-43315506165057671542012-12-16T23:40:59.979-05:002012-12-16T23:40:59.979-05:00I had something witty to type here, and then I loo...I had something witty to type here, and then I looked into Scott Erickson's eyes and forgot it all...JediJeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10261262040532716901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-27333926380188035072012-12-16T21:24:36.389-05:002012-12-16T21:24:36.389-05:00My buddy has a case of these sets.

I bet he'd sell them to me for a $1/set... maybe less.<br /><br />I haven't given this set any attention is close to twenty years.

But at the same time I'm starting to like it better than I used to.<br /><br />And as a Reds fan, it's weird how this is the one design, between Topps, Traded, and Topps Debut, that you can literally find all 24 Reds (plus Lou) who played in the 1990 playoffs. Maybe that's why I'm appreciating it more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
