Oh Super Sweet 90's Inserts.... #3

Robert1973 said:

Thanks for all the suggestions, guys! I grew up in the 80s and collected cards from that decade and then into the very early 90s. During this time, I also developed a taste for 50s Topps cards. Then, off to college and work during college, and I missed most of the cards of the 90s. Around 2000 I got back in for a couple of years and racked up some nice vintage but sold it all and went to grad school. I got married in 2002 and got settled into a career and first child was born in 2006.

Sometime shortly thereafter I started collecting again and have been at it continually ever since. I have mainly collected postwar and prewar baseball, built some sets, broke them up, had a 60s football phase, etc. In the last year or two, I have gone back to some of my 80s cards I loved so much. Also bought some T206 and 50s star cards. However, I keep coming back to the 80s and then I found this thread about the 90s cards. It occurred to me that I completely missed these cards. I mean I watched baseball during the 90s, I just had no money then.

This thread grabbed my eye, and I appreciate your suggestions. I guess it is weird to go from vintage back to 80s and 90s cards, but that's what I am thinking right now.

It isn't weird at all. Chase what you like. I bought a cheap 1991 Upper Deck box to break with my son and pulled the Michael Jordan SP and since I've been working on low end 90s inserts that I remember chasing back then like 1993 Upper Deck Then & Now, Donruss Diamond Kings, and all the cool early 90s Ultra inserts. It doesn't have to be expensive to be fun.

You do not want to go the Dufex route. They are awful.

(I'm lying. I just don't want more competitors.)

I would highly recommend the awesomeness of Donruss Crusades. Just get a green one of a noname for cheap so you can see the design in person, and if you like it can continue with the $$$ ones.

You can add another card to the 1997 Pinnacle Certified Mirror Black list. Not mine just know it’s going to be auctioned off soon.

With all this time at home I finally had to get the chance to get my cases up and get out some of my 90s favorites:
