Just ran into a hoard of 1989-1991 pro set football that came into the shop. About 60,000 cards all in order with errors SPs, additional 1990 pro set 2 sealed case and 1991 Pro Set 2 sealed case.
I would love to get input from any experts or collectors of these years and sets. We are wanting to know exactly what to look for before we decide how to sell. Any expert input greatly appreciated.


Thanks
Jason

    I would PM LarkinCollector. Kyle knows more about junk football wax than anybody I know, especially Pro Set.

    Thanks guys. Wow. Looks like Pro Set purposely made errors. I am mainly a vintage guy so this is new to me. Fantastic site.

    Their concept was a 'living' set so adjustments were made frequently throughout the production runs. Feel free to contact me on any of them or junkwaxgems is a member here as well. His site also has a pretty complete list of the 1991 E/V. I'm primarily focused on collecting all the 1990 variations and would definitely be interested in purchasing any that I don't have or unopened. If you have a metal detector, you can search cases for the Lombardi holos image

    I think I've got some links bookmarked for the 89s as well that I'll have to dig up.

    CU Forum Thread: More 1989 Pro Set Variation Discussion

    Keep in mind that a lot of info is out-of-date. Many Dexter Manley's have turned up due to a batch of 10-up uncut sheets being found and cut up and sold.

    To date, the rarest Pro Set football items, based on lack of sales history/purchase opportunity, lack of presence in the hobby, etc... seem to be:

    1990 Steve Young #666
    1990 Dexter Manley #772 Substance Abuse
    1990 Dexter Manley #772 Missing Bio (or Missing red ink in bio?)
    1990 Eric Dickerson PB FACT #338
    1990 Chris Hinton PB TR with "Has been named..." beginning of text on back.
    1990 Chris Hinton PB TR with White Lettering In Banner On Front
    1990 Paul Gruber # Missing Much of Name, Position, Uni # On Back
    1990 Andre Rison #134 with White Lettering In Banner On Front
    1990 Ray Childress # with Large Black Blotch Over Text On Back

    1991 WLAF LL Cards (Series 2 Subset) Missing Yellow Boxes On Back
    1991 Mike Teeter WLAF Insert # Missing Left Side Of Text On Back
    1991 Thurman Thomas and Mike Singletary 3-D Lucite Cards

    If I can think of other, truly rare, seldom offered other Pro Set varieties, I'll edit this post and add them.

    Good luck!

    Here is a site that has a lot of Pro Set info. The owner is a good guy and has helped me out in a few cases.

    Awesome info guys thanks. I will try ton post some pics tomorrow. I found Santa, Payne Stewarts, Andre Risons, Jeff George, Tags, etc in multiples. There is 11 monster boxes packed of 1990 alone. Curious is there as many variations errors in 1991 as well? I have several monsters of 1991 pro set as well.

    Thanks

    Do you have any of the draft day cards from 1991? I always wanted the Rocket Ismial cards from that set. The Lombardi Hologram is a great insert too. For a rather simple card of just a trophy.. I'm impressed that it held its value the way it did

    I noticed you've got an extra link next to your photos. A couple of members and I discussed the solution for this issue on a thread at the link below. You'll be posting photos like a pro in minutes. Photobucket Thread

    Some day there will be a product where you can find multiple errors in every pack.

    Do the Hinton cards have a traded banner on front and text on back that begins "Has been named..."?

    Do any of them have traded banners on front with white lettering only, no yellow letters?

    Those are the only two versions of the card that are of rarity.

    Not putting anyone down or anything they collect, but I just don't see the value of a Dexter Manley card that has a blurb about substance abuse on in. If there was 1 of those in the entire world and 1 million of the others I would say that the rare one would be worth $5 and the others remain worthless like they are today. Random errors of nobodies for no reason just don't excite me. If it does you, to each and their collecting own. I collect unopened and I know plenty of you rip and don't like unopened so fair is fair. Good luck in your quest for these crazy error / variations.
