Happy Monday, everyone! Let's check out some old stickers. At roughly 2 1/2 x 1 1/2 inches, the 1991 Panini baseball sticker release is one of the smallest versions of this annual set that you'll find. I also found it to be much more elusive than the stickers from other surrounding years.
I ended up picking up a bunch of these at a recent card show, knowing that I was missing the majority of the Cardinals stickers for my team collection. 39 cents? What a value!
257 - Chicago White Sox - We start things off with a foil team sticker. In 1991, the White Sox had just changed their logo to the throwback look that you see here, which to this day I believe is still their primary logo. Considering how they've performed recently, it might be time for another change.
219 - Tony Pena - The regular player stickers come with a little bit of stats on the bottom, but strangely no indication of what team they play for. I guess you'd need the sticker album if you weren't totally sure which team Pena plays for from the photo.
145 - Mark McGwire - Large Mac is clearly an Athletic here.
119 - Sid Bream - Bream is the answer to a certain trivia question based on a big moment he had back in the day.
23 - Charlie Leibrandt - Atlanta is also represented here in this pack.
99 - Tony Gwynn - We finish things off with a little more star power. Gwynn's all-star status is noted on the sticker, but again, there's no mention of the Padres here for whatever reason.

Gwynn wins it.
These are cool. It'd be fun to open a cheap box and fill an album.
When I was a kid back in the 80's, I'd see sticker packs and albums all the time at grocery stores and the local pharmacy. But I never saw them in the early 90's. Not saying they weren't there. Maybe I was just focused more on packs of baseball cards.
If you stuck them onto the team pages, would it not be obvious which team the players belonged to?
The sight of that package literally caused some kind of chemical reaction in my brain. Just a blast of pure nostalgia.
