Is 1991 Fleer the worst set (all in all) from the "junk wax" period?

[BBCgalaxee]

From 1987 to 1991, EVERYTHING CONSIDERED, is this the worst set?

The cards in my opinion are horrible looking. Yellow mustard border. No thanks.

There is not a single solitary player worthy of the HOF who has a RC in the product.

It also lacks the biggest impact rookie cards in Chipper Jones and Jeff Bagwell.

Yes, there's no shortage of crappy sets such as 88 Donruss, 90 Fleer, 89 Score, 91 Upper Deck etc but at least they have SOMETHING redeeming.

Whether it's a HOF rookie card, or HOF "worthy" players ( Think Sosa, Sheffield etc) or great design or error/ inserts cards with value, just about every other set from this era has something of value.

91 Donruss and 92 Topps are pretty gross..

 

[linuxabuser]

1989 Bowman is infuriatingly bad.

Yes, I would think with lack of RCs and no massive errors that people look for I'd say yes. 88 and 89 Topps base are pretty bad too. 91 Donruss and 91 Topps (minus Chipper) was bad.


Those would be my top 5 worst but 91 Fleer prob has the least bang. *yes I liked the Provisions and don't mind the design, just no RCs or chase.

Disagree on 91 Topps. The photography in that set was amazing.

Ugh , I'd have to go back and look but I hated the quality of stock they used.

1991 did introduce us to Pro-Visions, which, good or bad, introduced art to baseball cards.

I thought '78 Topps introduced us to art

I think they are the ugliest cards ever made myself.

91 Topps cannot be on this list.

Puckett
Clemens
Cal

Those three off the top of my head are probably better images than anything Topps used this year.

As a Dawson fan I like 1991 Fleer. The set has a Sandberg/Dawson card and the Dawson comes in two different back variations plus I have some incredible Dawson errors from that set.

What backs and errors do you have ?

'92 was worse IMO.

Especially after the Rookie Sensations cards died down...

'92 Fleer did have this: the most perfect degree of glossiness ever produced in a base set. Not too glossy. Not too flat. Just right.

I like the Clemens Photo, Puckett is eh IMO and Ripken is 92. So you can't make me take it off my list

I actually don't mind the look myself. The design is simple yet there are some pretty sharp action shots in the set. I think with a tamer border color, it might be worse though. As far as value and RC content, yes it is lacking, but so are many of the sets from that era. Just about every other Fleer set surrounding that one is as ugly, if not worse (88-95 Fleer is one of the worst runs of crap designs ever).

 

[JoshHamilton]

In terms of color and eye appeal, it isn't even the worst Fleer set. 1995 has that distinction. Hell, it might not even be the ugliest 1991 Fleer set. The football version is HIDEOUS.

My vote goes to 1992 Donruss. What a boring, uninspired, bland design. No rookies of note (seriously, John Jaha, Rey Sanchez and Rod Beck were the "highlights), subpar action shots, blah. You could give me a speedball and a set of 1992 Donruss and I'd end up asleep

Clemens, Boggs & Fisk are probably my 3 favorites from the set. I'd have to go through the whole set, but those are standouts to me.
