These Score cards are sure colorful! Wish I would've bought more of them "back in the day".
What I got in the bonus pack included:
114 Richard Dent (Bears) 117 Mark Collins (Giants) 147 John Anderson (Packers) 63 Ickey Woods (Bengals) 64 Gary Anderson (Chargers) 73 Ricky Natiel (Broncos) 173 Matt Millen (Raiders) 174 Karl Mecklenburg (Broncos) 175 Paul Palmer (Chiefs) 22 Dave Duerson (Bears) 23 Troy Stradford (Dolphins) 24 Freeman McNeil (Jets) 308 Tim Krumrie - All Pro (Bengals) 309 Anthony Munoz - All Pro (Bengals) 310 Darrell Green - Speedburner (Redskins)
I listed the cards pretty much in the order they came in the pack. Interesting collation!
Oh yeah, the Football Trivia Card (Bears) reads: "Name the player who gained the most yards rushing in one game." A. O.J. Simpson B. Walter Payton C. Jim Brown D. Franco Harris
(answer below)
The '89Topps pack gave up the following: 334 Ricky Reynolds (Buccaneers) 260 Art Monk (Redskins) 23 Bengals Team 139 Frank Minniefield - All Pro (Browns) 390 Steve Pelluer (Cowboys) 258 Gary Clark (Redskins) 81 Steve Jordan (Vikings) 12 1000-yard Club Mark Clayton 303 Chargers Team 161 Gene Atkins (Saints) 236 Roger Vick (Jets) 241 John Elway (Broncos) -- a potential Gem Mint card! I'll have to scan this one. 167 Bart Oates (Giants) 306 Gary Anderson (Chargers) 219 1988 NFL Rushing Leaders (Herschel Walker / Eric Dickerson) 365 Bennie Blades (wax stain on back)
It's fun slowing down, opening a pack, and thoroughly enjoying each card -- like in Stone's picture of the boys back in '63...
Trivia answer: "B. Payton of the Bears, with 275 yards against the Vikings (of course) in '77." Is this answer still correct?? I believe it is...
OK, freebie pack was good. I never busted any 89 Score and I enjoyed the expirience.
311- Anthony Miller SPEEDBURNER 35- Wesley Walker - I didn't realize he played thru the 80's. 13 yr Career - 8306 yd rec, 71 TD rec(t-26th all time) 45- Aaron Cox rc - Great rookie season in 1988 590yds 5tds. 2nd season - 340/3, In the next 4 seasons(his last 4) he combined for 802 yds with no TDS. 185 Dean Biasucci - Colts all-time leading scorer 783 points. Became an actor after his football career. Its been rumored that Biasucci, Fred Dryer, Fred Williamson, Bernie Casey and Ed Marinaro are slated to star in the upcoming "Necessary Roughness 3." 196 Jim Sweeney 181 Jesse Solomon - 9 year career, 10 sacks, 8 ints 74 Jim Arnold - 12 yr career, 866 punts, respectable 42.3 yd career avg - Now Jim practices Stand-up Comedey 73 Ricky Nattiel - 6 yr career which ended in '92 - 1972 yds rec, 8 tds 95 Michael Carter - 1984 Olympic Silver Medalist in the shot put - 8 year NFL career 321 Reggie White PREDATOR- RIP "Minister of Defense" 50 Mike Singletary - Arguably the best MLB in NFL history. 75 Randall Cunningham - His passing yards 29,979 is 28th all time and his 207 Passing TDs is 24th all time 124 Ozzie Newsome - HOFer 125 Irving Fryar - The first pick of the 1984 NFL draft.
Fortunately, I HAD Lewis in my fantasy lineup he broke the record, 295 yards and two scores against the Browns. A defensive player talking smack from the Browns said he hoped Lewis got 30 carries so he could punish him. Lewis responded by saying if he got 30 carries he'd break Dillon's record. Sure enough, he did exactly that. Oddly enough, he also had a 60 TD called back in the first half on a holding penalty that had nothing to do with the play!!! That would have given him a lot more yards. He rushed for 205 against the Browns later in the year, becoming the first player to rush for 500 yards against a team in one year.
Think that'll happen again??? Wow.
As for my packs, not much, but a total blast to open. Like I said earlier, I didn't start collecting football until after I "returned" to the hobby, so all of these packs are something I've never opened before.

For all the trivia folks, the answer was Jim Brown back in 1989.......that would be a good trivia question now...how many backs have more TDs then him now????
If anyone interested in any of the cards let me know.....I also have more from 1989 available if anyone is trying to finish a set.....

Collecting Minnie Minoso Master and Basic 1967 Topps PSA 8+ 1960's Topps run Mega Set "For me, playing baseball has been like a war and I was defending the uniform I wore, Every time I put on the uniform I respected it like the American flag. I wore it like I was representing every Latin country."--Minnie Minoso
Not off to a fantastic start, but not entirely bad, either. The score pack was a blast to bust. For some reason I don't remember buying many of these in "the day" --- I was 13 at the time and 1989 was the height of my collecting years.
Love the Montana/Rice card -- cool to see them together. Also interesting to get both Matthews brothers in the same pack [18 pro-bowls between them].
Overall quality of the cards was AWESOME. Great centering, razor sharp corners. I imagine there's more than a few 10's among these, especially in the Score pack.
Here's the rest (with a few extra facts a la Zef):
1989 Score: - Eddie Brown, WR - Rodney Holman, TE - Dave Krieg, QB [38,000 passing yds over 19 nfl seasons] - Steve Pelleur, QB - Jim Everett, QB - Bill Hawkins, DE *rookie* [42 nfl games, 5 career sacks, done after '92] - Terry Kinard, FS - Bruce Armstrong, OT [6-time pro-bowler, played '87-'00] - Lionel Manuel, WR - JT Smith, WR - Combos: Millard/Doleman
1989 Topps: - Carl Ekern, ILB - Lars Tate, RB - David Tate, CB - Warren Williams, RB - Mark Bavaro, TE - Mickey Shuler, TE [played 14 yrs, 2 time pro-bowl] - David Galloway, DE - Henry Ellard, 1000 Yard Club - Reggie Langhorne, WR - Hanford Dixon, CB ['89 was final season, 3-time pro-bowler] - Kevin Greene, OLB [5 time pro-bowler, played '85-'99] - Ray Berry, LB - Tony Zendejas, K - Carl Lee, CB [3 time pro-bowler, played '83-'94] - Johnny Meads, OLB
Good times. Can't wait for next week!

i think most of us were counting on ProSet to be the big money set that year.. i was also 13 or 14 at the time and i distinctly remember being at a mall card show when score and proset had just came out.. dealers were telling me how nice the proset cards were was and it seemed to be the hottest item moving, i think i probably bought a wax box that day but i dont remember.. i know i somehow ended up with a 5000ct box of 1989 proset singles by the mid-90's though..

Funny, I do remember buying a TON of ProSet and virtually no Score football during the 89-92 years. Remember the Rocket Ismail card --- it was all the rage.

Oh snap...I was thinking about 1990 Pro Set with the hologram. Well, for 1989 Pro Set, everyone was looking for all the error cards, especially the William Perry and they were also looking for the Santa Clause card. This kind of put Score on the back burner for everyone. Plus, Pro Set also came out in 3 series....kept collectors attention.

The Bo Jackson rookie was the card everyone looked for in '88. It is still the most expensive card in the set. There are only a couple rookies in this set; Vinnie Testaverde, Brian Bosworth and Kevin Green. They are nice looking cards but the set doesn't have much value. James
Thanks guys ... that info is great --- adds to the thread, IMO.
... I remember The Boz and all the hype that surrounded him... and what year was it that Bo ran out the back of the endzone and into the tunnel on MNF.
Ahh, the late 80s --- I miss 'em.

Sorry I'm late to the party guys. We had out of town guests last week and trust me they wouldn't have understood.
Anyway, here's what I got :
Oh yeah, almost forgot ... I got this guy too :
Centering's not that great, but this one's going to go to the grandkids. "Yep ... a Barry Sanders rookie card, kids. Opened the pack myself with a bunch of friends around."
Okay ... so you're all really only around in cyberspace ... no need to tell the little ones ...
I'm leaving for SF for a couple of days tomorrow morning and didn't want to wait to open my pack until I got back so I'm doing it a day early.

I thought it was odd to find Marcus Allen in both of my '89 packs... Today, he shows up again in the '88 pack. Go figure. Maybe I should start a basic player set on the registry.

For all the trivia folks, the answer was Jim Brown back in 1989.......that would be a good trivia question now...how many backs have more TDs then him now????
If anyone interested in any of the cards let me know.....I also have more from 1989 available if anyone is trying to finish a set.....
OK< now what's for next week???? are we counting down in year order???

I love that Bo card.
I remember i got a Michael Irvin card in my bonus pack and an Okoye.
Get to the rest of them and scans when I get home sunday.
Jerry Rice, Reggie White, SBXXIII card featuring Montana, Tim Brown, Henry Ellard & Bruce Smith along with 9 other also rans.
Great pack with great centering but most cards are touched on at least one corner.
89 Score Pack 2
Marcus Allen, Drew Hill, Don Beebe RC, Jessie Small RC? and the assorted commons.
Not as good as pack one but centering and corners are dead on.
89 Topps Pack 1
A pretty nice Warren Moon card and the rest commons.
Very nice centering and corners accept on the 1000 yard club Curt Warner which is way OC L-R.
89 Topps Pack 2
Nice 88 Rushing Leaders Walker/Dickerson, Rod Woodson, D.J. Dozier (liked the name), Brian Blades Super Rookie and a Joe Morris 1000 yd. club.
Again perfect corners and centering.
No complaints here on the first round.

Not off to a fantastic start, but not entirely bad, either. The score pack was a blast to bust. For some reason I don't remember buying many of these in "the day" --- I was 13 at the time and 1989 was the height of my collecting years.
Love the Montana/Rice card -- cool to see them together.
Also interesting to get both Matthews brothers in the same pack [18 pro-bowls between them].
Overall quality of the cards was AWESOME. Great centering, razor sharp corners. I imagine there's more than a few 10's among these, especially in the Score pack.
Here's the rest (with a few extra facts a la Zef):
1989 Score:
- Eddie Brown, WR
- Rodney Holman, TE
- Dave Krieg, QB [38,000 passing yds over 19 nfl seasons]
- Steve Pelleur, QB
- Jim Everett, QB
- Bill Hawkins, DE *rookie* [42 nfl games, 5 career sacks, done after '92]
- Terry Kinard, FS
- Bruce Armstrong, OT [6-time pro-bowler, played '87-'00]
- Lionel Manuel, WR
- JT Smith, WR
- Combos: Millard/Doleman
1989 Topps:
- Carl Ekern, ILB
- Lars Tate, RB
- David Tate, CB
- Warren Williams, RB
- Mark Bavaro, TE
- Mickey Shuler, TE [played 14 yrs, 2 time pro-bowl]
- David Galloway, DE
- Henry Ellard, 1000 Yard Club
- Reggie Langhorne, WR
- Hanford Dixon, CB ['89 was final season, 3-time pro-bowler]
- Kevin Greene, OLB [5 time pro-bowler, played '85-'99]
- Ray Berry, LB
- Tony Zendejas, K
- Carl Lee, CB [3 time pro-bowler, played '83-'94]
- Johnny Meads, OLB
Good times. Can't wait for next week!

i think most of us were counting on ProSet to be the big money set that year..
but yeah i pretty much ignored the 1989 score..

Funny, I do remember buying a TON of ProSet and virtually no Score football during the 89-92 years. Remember the Rocket Ismail card --- it was all the rage.

Well, for 1989 Pro Set, everyone was looking for all the error cards, especially the William Perry and they were also looking for the Santa Clause card. This kind of put Score on the back burner for everyone. Plus, Pro Set also came out in 3 series....kept collectors attention.

Thoughts on the set?
What people chased in '88?
... i'm not knowledgable enough about late 80's football or I'd do it myself.... just thought it might be a nice teaser for tomorrow.

Seems the Bo Jackson & Vinny Testaverde rookie cards are topps with the usual stars weighing more than singles.

... I remember The Boz and all the hype that surrounded him... and what year was it that Bo ran out the back of the endzone and into the tunnel on MNF.
Ahh, the late 80s --- I miss 'em.

FavreFan1971, I'm going to send you a PM with scans of a couple 1986 McD's Packers. Send me your address if you want them. I'm a Vikes (and Broncos!) fan, so I sure as heck don't want 'em!
Sorry I'm late to the party guys.
We had out of town guests last week and trust me they wouldn't have understood.
Anyway, here's what I got :
Oh yeah, almost forgot ... I got this guy too :
Centering's not that great, but this one's going to go to the grandkids.
"Yep ... a Barry Sanders rookie card, kids. Opened the pack myself with a bunch of friends around."
Okay ... so you're all really only around in cyberspace ... no need to tell the little ones ...
"How about a little fire Scarecrow ?"
I'm saving my big pull for '84 or '85 --- I'm feeling either a Marino RC or PSA-10 quality Warren Moon.

I thought it was odd to find Marcus Allen in both of my '89 packs... Today, he shows up again in the '88 pack. Go figure. Maybe I should start a basic player set on the registry.
