- Personally I missed this set by 1 year, so they seemed like clunky old cards to me. I can now better appreciate them, but the innovative nature of the set was so strong that I always knew this stuff to be standard with cards.
Very important set historically
My favorite card set of all time, thanks for covering
It's an iconic set from our generation, that's for sure.
I loved the James Lofton / Tim Brown error card reference there! It bugged me so much having the wrong image. Same thing with the Willie Gault / Great Townsend your card. It was nice getting those on eBay decades later.
Great video, as always. I vividly remember that year when Score and Pro Set joined Topps. It was so much fun to have three sets to collect, and I loved them all. It was interesting how much less available Score was at my LCS. I have a million Topps cards that year, and a billion Pro Set... But other than one hand collated set, I only have about thirty doubles from Score. This was a great set. I always go right to the Barry RC from Score when I think 1989 FB.
I started in 1990 so I had to go back and collect these sets years later. That made the Score set harder to finish. I don't think I got Barry and Aikman until like 1998 or so.
@@sportscardprofessor I still wish I'd been able to get more back then. I ended up with 4 Barry Score RC's but two of those were through trades with friends. But I'd still love to have more 😁
Apologies for a comment unrelated to the video at hand, which I do intend to watch. But I wasnt sure what the best way was to send a comment that would be seen. Since I really enjoy your history and info provided on videos for certain products, it would be interesting to see a video covering the history of Topps Baseball Coins (and other milk cap toppers or similar items). The little bit of info I could find talked about there being sets in 1964 and 1971, some of which my Father has, and then there's the 4 sets that came out from 1987 to 1990. It appears the special holder they made came out in 88 but nothing for the smaller 87 set, then they released full factory sets already in the holders, defeating the purpose and fun of collecting a set by hand. I wonder what made them decide to make, and then stop, and then make again, and then stop...
That's pretty much right. Topps kept trying different inserts throughout the 1960s and early '70s to spice up the collectability for ever changing young collectors. In the late 1980s they were trying to diversify what crazy stuff kids would collect including Triple Header baseballs, Doubleheaders, and candy-filled Topps Stand-ups. Bringing back the coin idea was a nostalgia cash-grab. The 1990 coins were available in packs or comp[ete set form.
I will get around to both coins and milk caps at some point but I'm still working on putting together the whole picture. Thanks for the request.
@@sportscardprofessor That's great to hear, and thank you for the reply in detail. Anytime I come up with a question regarding sports cards/etc I now check your channel first before any others. Your channel is an invaluable resource and the box breakdowns are entertaining as well.
@@Rubberneck1965 I glad to hear that. I put a lot of work into this and I'm glad that it is being utilized.
I loved the subset cards, but that one complaint... I wish it had been a 660 card set. 330 was way too low, imo. Glad they made the Score update set, at least.
Literally all of the three sets were half sized. In just one year they all doubled (well Topps almost did).
@@sportscardprofessor yep, I loved that for 1990. And I didn't know that Franco card ever existed until your video. That's not a cheap card!
@@bearcards3497 One of the two is not bad, the other's pretty tough.
@@sportscardprofessor is the original one the more costly?
@@bearcards3497 it does appear that the Sureshot card is more costly. There is a "Hall" card on CZcams for $8 (1989 Score Promo) right now.
