It's going to be depressing as hell to see you talk about the 1996-2000 Topps sets.Matthew Appletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02241671933663795599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433941530167569659.post-89096771859499994482012-01-29T10:41:32.870-05:002012-01-29T10:41:32.870-05:00For some reason, my checklist listed the Murphy 20...For some reason, my checklist listed the Murphy 2001 Archives card as a reprint of his 1992 card, which clearly it's not. I just took the information I saw and repeated it without double-checking -- I've fixed that accordingly.<br /><br />Some other 1992 info on the other players (just naming a few for each):<br /><br />Grotewald: Medford Set, Ultra, Donruss Rookies, Fleer Update<br />Abbott: Leaf, O-Pee-Chee Premiere, Medford, Pinnacle<br />Bell: Fleer Update only<br />Javier: as far as I know, the only one in your list who did not appear as a Phillie in any set in 1992<br />Rivera: Fleer Update, Medford, Donruss Rookies<br /><br />I thank the Phillies for updating the Medford set when they did. Otherwise, I'd have no Robinson card in my collection.Matthew Appletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02241671933663795599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433941530167569659.post-49907560947282503722012-01-29T10:36:15.894-05:002012-01-29T10:36:15.894-05:00Cards at the college store, huh?

(Unless I'm missing one of the cards, which is a possibility.)<br /><br />And I checked for the other guys.
