So as the topic says, I want to collect some 90s insert sets since I've gotten most of the Ripkens that were high on my priority list. But I don't want to collect sets just for the sake of doing it, I want to do something that will be fun and worthwhile.
Here's some criteria that would make a set appealing to me. Can you guys recommend some sets based on these comments?
1) Preferably 20 cards or less. This prevents me from going from big sets like all of the 93 Finest Refractors or all the 98 Crusades, etc. I want something that won't take me years to finish.
2) Star-Studded. Every set is going to have some boring guys (no offense to those player collectors), but the better the names, the higher my interest level.
3) Serial numbered.
4) Moderate to high difficulty, moderate pricing. I want to put in some effort here, not just a bunch of stuff that you can BIN any day of the week. But I don't want it to be a ton of /25 items either, because that would put a huge hole in the wallet.
5) Visually appealing.
Examples of some sets I like... 92 Elites, 93 Elite Dominators, 97 Power Alleys. They all look great but for the most part they are pretty cheap, unless you try to go all PSA 10 or something like that. I also like 98 Crusades (who doesn't?) but there are just too many of them for me to pursue a set. Any recommendations you guys can provide? Thanks in advance!
