A good 1990's set to put together...any ideas?

[Zorro]

Hey guys, what would be a good 90s set or insert set to put together. Can be jersey, auto or just a plain regular set. Something that looks nice and isn’t expensive to put together.

Thanks for the ideas!

Topps Gold Label has always been a fantastic looking set, the base and inserts

I don't think you'll find a 90s jersey set that isn't expensive. Maybe something in the really late 90s.... but UD only started with Game Jersey cards in 96 or 97 (can't remember) and they were very hard to get for several years.


Autos - you could do any BAP set from the 1990s, and pick up most the cards on the cheap. You'd get a large auto set where many cards can be had for $1, and certainly most the set would sell for under $5 per card. There would be a few SPs though... and they'd be expensive.

Leaf Preferred Steel

This would be a challenge to put together, not many cases made, most cards in collections already.

Any chance this will be ready in time for "The Big One" in Vancouver?

My favourite looking set from the 90s was 96 or 97 SPx (Finite) Radiance. 97 Revolution's a pretty cool spazzy set. I have no idea in terms of what has good inserts, I just go by looks. This thread has some suggestions to help you out:

I'm quoting this post I did from that thread containing some of the better suggestions:
