There's already a whole blog dedicated to the
1988 Score Rookies and Traded Set if this post whets your appetite, I recommend checking out that blog and taking a look at all the treasures there!
I picked this set up at a card show in the Twin Cities that I normally don't go to - harder for me to get there and the main focus is the autographs, which is not really my thing.
Here are some of my favorites from the set:
Quisenberry as a Cardinal? Ok Then...
The two biggest Rookies in the set - now Hall of Famers:
A couple more notable rookies:
Graig as an Expo --- neat. Herm is great at WINNING.
The Nettles is one of my favorites from this set. And I need to track down a copy of that Grace RC because I somehow don't already own a copy.
ReplyDeleteNettles as an Expo was one of the cards I was looking forward to having when I bought this set, based solely on see the card on your blog!
DeleteJC should have plenty of that Grace. If not let me know, see if I can't dig one one out of those boxes (now full of dupes/unwanted cards) or at least 6 or 7 of them anyways.
DeleteI just picked up a sweet card for you my friend! If my home computer ever decides to work I'll print and label and get it to you.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I'm working on something cool to send your way as well.
DeleteThat Winningham card is pretty neat. I didn't know there was an '88 Traded Set. Thanks for introducing me to it!
ReplyDeleteIt's a little funky - it has retained its value more than most of the traded/update sets because it is supposedly a more rare set.
DeleteAll the cards have the same orange border, which gets a little boring compared to the regular set.
The thing that sets it apart is that the photography is actually really good for a traded set- pretty much all action shots, not very much airbrushing that I noticed.
