1990 Topps Heads Up break...

Okay. So I bought some oddball stuff off of ebay recently. It included a box of 1990 Topps Heads Up. These things are pretty cool, but now that I've opened them all, I'm not too sure what to do with them. They are oversized pictures of the heads of baseball players. Which I think is frickin hilarious, but not sure what to do with them. They have suction cups attached to them and also some adhesive if you want to hang them up.
Anyone ever opened some of these or remember them?

Is Barry Bonds in that set? Kinda like a precursor of things to come if you will

Yes, there is a test year, and then the next year, and that was it. I don't know what year is what though.

yeah they are not too popular. maybe its the large heads. i bought two boxes back in the day when i was working at a card shop. i opened one box and the collation was great got one whole set. still have the other box. did you happen to get any of the double headers that topps made in 89 and 90?

Yea, I actually got a box of those too. Are they worth opening or keeping wrapped up?
I also got a box of 1985 Topps All Stars 3D.

A bit of useless trivia regarding this set . . . Placido Polanco is the only player in the set whose head to body ratio is "actual size":

There are 24 "heads" in the 90 set. It listed for $ 12 in the 2006 SCD. The 89 set of 24 is another story. It lists for $ 750 and is much harder to put together. Perry's Double Headers were put out in 89 ( 24) and 90 ( 72), but in 89 there is also a separate Yankees/Mets set of them ( 24) which list for $ 150 and there are 8 proofs to that set which list for $ 425
