Not the border so much, but when you see them together it really does start to grow on you.<br /><br />As a photographer, I have to say that I really love the Goose Gossage card, it has a lot of emotion. Don't knock Jeff Kunkel's gum, either - I'm pretty sure he gets the idea of fun just like McGriff and his balanced bat.<br /><br />Mattingly looks like a scampy kid in that shot. I really dig the Kevin Mitchell as well. But Julio Franco and his bat - that's a true love affair.<br /><br />Damn you, TJ - I may have to try and put this one together now. Plus I already have a complete '93 set, so I guess that dooms me to try for '92?

Stupid mauve border, no action shots, Steve Finley-face (I can say it, I'm a huge fan of his). But Jose Lind's card from the '92 set helped change my mind, and now I kinda dig the black and white photography from the '91 set.<br /><br />Dang it, I saw Raz' comment on Mattingly which I somehow missed the first time and now I can't unsee that card.Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10439278650702057885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047326403910235658.post-52658274824021391642014-08-07T13:14:48.178-05:002014-08-07T13:14:48.178-05:00I'm seriously considering building the '92...I'm seriously considering building the '92 base set as well.

It was new and different, which drew collector's attention. But eventually I think I lost interest because there weren't parallels or inserts to chase. Looking back this would be a fun, cheap box break. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled at future shows.<br /><br />By the way... in terms of fear factor, I've got Gossage taking down Finley. But Viola takes down both of them as scariest in the set.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047326403910235658.post-64843046817372264342014-08-07T08:38:46.132-05:002014-08-07T08:38:46.132-05:00Holy crap.

Some of the shots are less than spectacular, but the ones that work REALLY work. It must've been quite a thrill to open a box of the stuff. This post alone added a few more cards to my want list, notably the Olerud and bling-tastic Oil Can.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508921644099472101noreply@blogger.com
