I liked the '89 design, but '90 had green again for the Phillies, which was such a disappoint after the '88 Phillies green. I remember thinking at the time that the '90 set was probably Topps idea of ushering in a new, bold decade with those crazy borders and eye-sore backs. They were probably also trying to compete with Upper Deck's entrance. But it just didn't work then, and as you mentioned, it really didn't stand the test of time. 1991 Topps was such a relief; Topps stuck to team colors and I think the design is actually pretty classic, despite being mired in the junk wax era.<br /><br />As for the Schmidt tributes, I loved the '90 Donruss card. I had a bunch of them and it was fun to put the whole set in a binder and still have one more year with Schmidt included. The UD card was nice, too. I also really liked the '89 Fleer Update tribute; pretty unique having 5 photos in one. I really wanted Topps to do something but they really didn't. TBTC was cool, and I was waiting every year since '86 for them to feature Schmidt, but it would have been nice to have one last Schmidt card, like the one you created.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433941530167569659.post-46248924651013803562012-01-17T10:35:25.607-05:002012-01-17T10:35:25.607-05:00The 1990 Donruss cards are a good memory for me be...The 1990 Donruss cards are a good memory for me because they were my two sons' entry into baseball card collecting. We bought tons of rack packs at the local Wawa, and at least once a week the entire lining room floor would be turned into a card-sorting area. The same with the blue Donruss cards from the following year. (We also bought Topps and Fleer cards those 2 years, but not as much.)Jim from Downingtownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537007940455183397noreply@blogger.com
