1990 Pro Set Series 2 Football

It's been just over seven years since the last look at 1990 Pro Set Series 2 football.  Personally I believe that pack was a little better than this one, what do you think?  Let us know in the comments below.  This trip down memory lane is a look at one Series 2 pack, sent to me by @dubmentality.  

I show the back of the pack to mention how much I'd LOVE one of those Pro Set Football caps!

Because of my age, I always remember Marcus Allen better as a Chief than a Raider.

When I first saw this card, I asked myself if this was the guy that held the quarterback record for most career fumbles for awhile.  I didn't think so and then quickly realized he wasn't when I saw the next card...

BOOM!  That's the guy that did.  SEAHAWKS QUARTERBACK HOT PACK!!!

I will always remember this man for the horrible way that he was killed.  If you're not familiar with the story, you can read about it here.

Andre Ware wasn't just taken in the first round, he was the seventh overall selection.  Is there any question why the Lions have had a "rough few years?" Imagine if they didn't have Barry Sanders for a decade.  WOOF!

Did I win a trip to the 1991 Pro Bowl?

Dang, stumped again!

Tell us in the comments below what your favorite card from the pack is.  Mine?  This pack was so rough that I can't even pick one!

1989 Pro Set Football

Well how about that?  An almost 30-year old "junk wax" pack that hasn't been shown on here! 

When i first saw this card, I noticed "Cowboys" and thought they won.  I paid no attention to the score at the top.  My initial thought was "I wonder if Chuck Howley played in this game?"  I knew he is the only Super Bowl MVP selected from the losing team.  Lo and behold, this IS the game he was the MVP of.  Despite the card damage (blue ink on the upper right from the pack), I will be sending this to him soon to sign.  Hail, West Virginia! 

Ahhhhhh....the good ol' days of large sets when punters and kickers had cards too! 

Did I win a trip to the Pro Bowl?  Keep scrolling.

DRATS!  I guess I won't be attending the 1990 Pro Bowl. 

So, what is your favorite card from this pack?  Tell us in the comment below.  Mine is obviously the Super Bowl card! 

On a personal note, I set this post to go live at 1:08 am.  That means I was born exactly 39 years prior, to the minute, that this posts!

1991-92 Skybox Basketball Series 1

It's been a couple of years since the last look at this set on APTBNL.  Hopefully you enjoy the second look!

This pack is courtesy of Dub Mentality on Twitter.  When it comes to 1980s and 1990s nostalgia and cards, his blog Dub Mentality is one of the best.

There were no stars in the pack and half the cards were damaged, but it was still fun to flip through the cards and stroll down memory lane.  The Danny Ferry was my favorite.  What was yours?  Tell us in the comments below.
