About the Card
In the early 1990's insert cards were a new hobby trend. Twenty-years later the trend has long become a staple. Early on, there wasn't much innovation going on. In the case of 1992 Ultra they had produced 3 insert sets. The Award Winners set was wholly uninspired in concept and design. Duplicating the base set - all Fleer did was slap on an Award Logo.
It's still a strong card with beautiful photography but in context it's a bore.
Randomly inserted in Series 1 packs these card fell about 3 to 4 a box.
Roughly 90% of my collection I've submitted to BGS myself but you can find great deals on eBay.
I picked this slab up for $23.30 shipped from Just Collect. When you consider it costs on average $7 to slab with BGS picking up a gem mint copy of a card you want is well worth it.
I built a master set of the 1992 Ultra baseball back in the day... well it's close to a master set. I'm missing the Gwynn autographs and the Gwynn send in cards... but I have all of the insert sets and the base set. This product was awesome back in the day.
