The only trick here is lets leave it to non-auto non-jersey and so on. Lets see what are favorite insert set of all-time. Oh yeah i forgot non-vintage too LOL. Just a regular insert set from the 90's or up. Just a regular insert card set like in the old days such as Beam Team and all thatimage

Ok, my is the 2001 Basketball Fleer Greats of the Game All-American. its a 14 card set and they have the look/style of the famous Football All-American set. I think its a plain and siply the most beautiful set for Basketball! Whats yours? Lets see if anybody pays attension to the non auto, jersey and vintage cards. Thank you for your time.

    I really like the T3 BB set for preWar - I'm currently at 18% - there's 100 cards to the BB set and 25 for the boxers - I have 2 there.

    image

    It's a hard set to collect in 4 or better due to cost.

    I will say - my favorite postWar set is the 63F BB - been working on it since Jan 2004 - and I'm at 62%.

    image

    The Clemente is my favorite from the set - this one is centered just OK but it was a bargain at about 55% smr.

    Clemente just couldn't seem to take a bad photo, could he? Of all his cards the "worst" pose is his '61 Topps, and it's not all that bad.

    Upper deck Mickey Mantle inserts. I forget the year, maybe 96 or 96 UD??? The header card is very nice.

    What sport? I think I may have a card for you. If its Basketball then I think I still have a Joe Smith card from that set numbered to 25 and I think its graded a PSA 8 or 9. Back then this was the stuff to have being serial numbered to 25.

    Hey guys, those are all great set but dosen't anybody have an all-time favorite thats not vintage? LOL. non-auto, non-jersey and non-vitage. I was just curious to see if people can still have a favorite besides the obvious sets. Again, nice sets you picked there but lets see what your favorite is besides vitage, autos and jerseys. Thanks againimage
