All parallels, not inserts.
I was always fond of the Paramount Fielder's Choice die cuts.

Sorry Brad, I did not mean to be so careless and stupid.

Ah hell, I know some consider any limited card an insert. I did like when companies made an effort to create unique insert sets, clearly different than the base card designs, and not just 10 parallels of the base. Topps does make a lot of inserts, but it would be cool if some of them were much more limited, like 20 years ago.

My favorite sets were those that I actually collected!
And my most favorite to collect, because how difficult it was (back then) to get West and Central cards:
And I'll also agree w/ one of [MENTION=8906]RStadlerASU22[/MENTION]'s : 1994 Red Holoview, although I could only afford to collect the blue holoview!

I know they were massively over-produced, but I loved the old Fleer Pro-Visions for some reason.

I always loved 99 Boyz with the wood. It's by far one of the most innovative cards which seems to have been inspired by the rubix cube.
For those that have never had them in hand, the front of the card folds back vertically to reveal an inner card with some info on the player on the sides. Once folded the back of the card can be folded in half horizontally to make another card (which is seen on the COMC back scans). It's fun, innovative and unlike any other insert set I've ever seen.

Non-Parallel Inserts:
- '95 Pinnacle White Hot - blue and white dufex design in '95 was jaw-dropping to a 10-year old me
- '97 Leaf Statistical Standouts - fold-out glove is a great example of innovative 90's inserts
- '97 Leaf Thomas Collection - favorite game-used set ever produced; jealous Upper Deck never came close to an insert set like this for Griffey
- '97 SP Game Film - took the '94 Studio Editor's Choice and made a more refined version
- '97 Topps Gallery Peter Max Serigraphs - artistic beauty
- '98 Ultra Diamond Producers - wood, felt, and holographic-looking diamonds on the same card? Awesome
- '97 Finest Embossed Refractors - favorite insert set; die-cut, embossed, and a checkered-refractor? Plethora of 90's innovations in one
- '97 Pinnacle Certified Totally Certified Platinum Gold - flashy design, but balanced nicely by the silver and gold colors
- '97 Pinnacle Certified Mirror Gold Team - if you ever see one of these in person, they are stunning; best looking set ever made, in my opinion
- '98 Metal Precious Metal Gems - the overlapping circles....favorite holographic design
