The mid 90's are full of great insert sets. I admit that some of my infinity for them is probably due to nostalgia. I would buy packs as a kid and occasionally pull an insert card or two from any given set, but the idea of completing an insert set was foreign to me for many years.
When I come across insert cards in dime boxes, especially from the 90's, that I like I will grab them. This past weekend I went to a card show and picked up a bunch of cards from a 15/$1 box. It was a dime box, but if you bought 10 then you got 5 free, so 15/$1.
Lots of great 90's inserts and some modern as well.
Take a look at some stacks of those 90's inserts.
I like all of these inserts, that's why I bought them, but here is a more detailed look at a couple of my favorites.
I like the 1994 (above) better than the 1995 (below). There weren't any Hitting Machines inserts beyond 1995. Those are die-cut and get pretty pricey.
These 1995 Donruss Bomb Squad card are awesome! Love the detail of having the exact number of little bombs as home runs they hit.
I will collect this stuff over anything today.
ReplyDeleteSuch a good deal you found too! Wished I had shows and shops and dime boxes!
If any of these are for trade, hit me up! Especially the 95-99 stuff thats more nostalgic for me
A lot of good players and fun cards I haven't seen before.
ReplyDeleteLike yourself, I enjoy finding inserts from the 90s. Anytime I can land some of them, I jump at it. To me, inserts of the 90s are better than some of the cards of today.
ReplyDeleteNo nostalgia for me, I wasn't collecting then. ... Some are cool, some are not.
ReplyDeleteI definitely love the Bomb Squad. I believe I have the Bagwell, but would love to find more in a dime box someday.
ReplyDeleteSuper jealous. Finding 90's inserts in a dime box always makes me happy. The fact that you paid less than a dime is even more awesome.
ReplyDeleteI always love me some 90s inserts! These are pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteI was the same...it was great to get an insert but I had no realistic plans to ever complete the set.
