While they are the most annoying set in the world to sort into numerical order, while doing so with the 1992 & 1993 sets I own, in order to list them on Sportlots and actually be able to FIND the cards I sold, I discovered several duplicate base cards. I think I ended up with 5 or 6 extra cards in both sets.<br /><br />As for my favorite minis, probably the cards that came in Cracker Jack in 1991 & 1992. Not TOO small, and they gave me an excuse to buy enormous amounts of junk food! I still think it is a travesty that there are so few Cracker Jack sets. They should have some 80 years worth by now, not just a handful. I'd be happy even if they went the MLBPA license route with no logos, just so long as they were still producing cards.Jason Presleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13543465200431539036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-13134129660020333592012-11-29T08:44:52.250-08:002012-11-29T08:44:52.250-08:00I like the early 50s Bowman cards.

Topps actually issued these factory sets three years in a row (1991, 1992, and 1993).<br /><br />In addition to the regular cards added bonuses to the 1992 & 1993 sets:<br /><br />1992 - 12 Gold Parallels<br />1993 - 12 Prisms<br /><br />As for storage issues... I agree.
