I recently pulled out my collection from the attic, which is about 90% of 87-92 Topps, Donruss, Fleer, Upper Deck, Score, etc. I've loved going through and organizing it. At a show last weekend I labeled myself a "Junk Wax Junkie" to one of the vendors. I even started a blog! Check it out if you are interested - junkwaxjunkie.blogspot.com<br /><br />Thanks again for sharing - loved reading this.ckmoorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995381500737483141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1231164411392128420.post-47278661623579110282013-02-17T09:04:35.416-05:002013-02-17T09:04:35.416-05:00The Pro Set you mention is one that I bought a ton...The Pro Set you mention is one that I bought a ton of back in the day.

What have I been saving them for!??!! Ok, back to reality. As a team collector, I can appreciate those years for the simplicity of collecting. I don't have to think about 15 variations of each card. That's not a bad thing.

Love the set for nostalgia and for the yellow. It was weird to me when Fleer went to the green borders the next year. I've been surprised how much the 89 Topps set has grown on me.

If you can look past the yellow, there are some really excellent photographs in that set. 89 Topps is probably my least favorite Topps set from the overproduction era (I don't use the term JW), but it still has some good cards as well.hiflewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07128126188366882765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1231164411392128420.post-7959137440203514172013-02-14T21:29:15.568-05:002013-02-14T21:29:15.568-05:00I've always been a big fan of '91 Fleer.
