1990 Upper Deck Baseball

The third card pack from Jonathan in Toronto. The Upper Deck from 1990 is of a superior quality to the Fleer and Donruss helpings. The card stock appears to be similar however the photography is not. They have a glossy feel and holographic logo. The cards were enclosed in a sealed foil pack. The sealed foil pack would hopefully eliminate cherry picking of the best cards and resealing the packs.
There are 15 cards per pack and 1 holographic sticker.
There are still a few cards that I need to complete the Red Sox team set:

#57 Roger Clemens

#133 Marty Barrett

#321 Jody Reed

#343 Ellis Burks

#402 Rich Gedman

#461 Rob Murphy

#484 Dennis Boyd

#610 Mike Smithson

#694 Mike Rochford

#708 Tom Brunansky

#748 Tony Pena

#764 Mickey Pina RC

The pack:

#8 Angels checklist

#75 Bo Jackson Royals

#173 Mark Williamson Orioles

#189 Tom Browning Reds

#251 Bob Welch Athletics

#278 Milt Thompson Cardinals

#359 Mike Bielecki Cubs

#378 Ernie Riles Giants

#415 Mike Aldrete Expos

#440 Juan Berenguer Twins

#467 Todd Worrell Cardinals

#510 Dave Anderson Dodgers

#545 Todd Zeile Cardinals

#671 John Dopson Red Sox
#687 Lance Blankenship Athletics

Braves sticker

Finally a Red Sox but still not one that I needed to add to the collection.

1990 Fleer baseball

I don't have much luck with Fleer 1990. In previous attempts to secure Red Sox I have drawn a blank. Yankees a plenty though. This pack was sent by Jonathan in Toronto, it may be from a vending machine but there is no verification of this.
I still need 8 Red Sox from this set:

#266 Marty Barrett

#267 Mike Boddicker

#270 Rick Cerone

#274 Dwight Evans

#278 Danny Heep

#281 Rob Murphy

#283 Carlos Quintana

#627 Roger Clemens '86

There are 10 cards and a sticker per pack. There is also a possibility of a Sammy Sosa Rookie and the lesser known Ripken (Ripkin) error card.

The pack:

#105 Luis de los Sanos Royals

#112 Charlie Leibrandt Royals

#372 Mike Dyer Twins

#387 Gary Wayne Twins

#428 Luis Quinones Reds

#434 Scott Scudder Reds

#437 Jesse Barfield Yankees

#440 Greg Cadaret Yankees

#442 Bob Green Yankees

#450 Dale Monorcic Yankees

Yankees sticker

The less said about this pack the better. I refuse to believe that this is an un-searched pack. Four Yankees and a Yankees sticker?

1990 Donruss

Here's to the first pack from Jonathan in Toronto, who sent five packs all from the year 1990. I would imagine that everyone has collected the teams sets from this unique product
- orange wrapper, red border. I am guessing that Donruss either produced a hell of a lot of these cards or they are recycled by collectors (unwrapped, cherry picked and then rewrapped) as they are so readily available.
I don't need any of the 27 Red Sox cards from this set. There are 10 cards and 3 puzzle pieces per pack.

The Pack:

#81 Kent Hrbek Twins

#100 Lee Smith Red Sox

#185 Mark McGwire A's

#309 Walt Terrell Yankees

#401 Rene Gonzales Orioles

#441 Mark Grant Padres

#467 Jose Nunez Blue Jays

#564 Domingo Jose A's

#589 Kevin Bass Astros

#666 Ricky Horton Cardinals

puzzle pices 10,11,12

Hmm, pretty much what I expected from this set. In comparison to other cards such as Upper Deck from the same year, these cards appear very flimsy and the photography poor.

1991 Score Series 1

The third instalment of the Big B Junk Wax package. What a pack it is too! You just have to appreciate Scores attempts to join the big boys. They went all out in 1991 and included a host of inserts, or subsets as they like to call them. Rookie Prospects, First Draft Picks, AL All-stars, Master Blasters, K-Men, Riflemen, NL All-stars, No-hitters, Franchise, Award Winners and Dream Team. That is 10 inserts and the card fronts on the rest were one of four different colours. A massive 893 cards issued in two series.

There was also a special American Flag insert card (#737) to honour American soldiers in Desert Storm. If that is not enough for you, there are Chipper Jones, Mike Mussina, Carl Everett and Jeff Conine rookie cards and enough errors to keep the specific collector happy.

There are 16 cards per pack and a magic motion trivia card.

I still need these Red Sox cards:

#245 Tom Brunansky

#348 Phil Plantier RC

#393 Wade Boggs All-star

#655 Roger Clemens

#790 Tony Pena

#831 John Marzano

#859 Reuben Sierra Franchise

The Pack:

#7 Will Clark Giants

#82 Dave Martinez Expos

#98 Bill Landrum Pirates

#102 Jaime Navarro Brewers

#173 Jody Reed Red Sox

#176 Larry Sheets Tigers

#178 Chris Gwynn Dodgers

#179 Melido Perez White Sox

#293 Les Lancaster Cubs

#295 Kurt Stillwell Royals

#298 Glenn Wilson Astros

#300 Ramon Martinez Dodgers

#390 Rondell White Expos Draft Pick

#395 Cecil Fielder Tigers All-Star

#410 Bobby Witt Rangers K-Man

#415 Ken Caminiti Astros Rifleman

#45 Mini magic holo-magic motion thingy

Hey, hey a Red Sox, 4 inserts/subsets and yet still what a beauty of a set.
