    Its a "Collector Issue", it wont be worth much even 50 years from now. Almost everything made now is a "Collector Issue" and will hurt value wise in the future.

    "Collector Issue Cards"..... (ie. TCMA, etc.) usually sold as a complete set at shows, shops or by mail order. Initially purchased without a product or service unlike a "true insert card".

    "Insert Cards"..... always included FREE with a product or service of some kind. The sets had to be built card by card.

    fkw - you may be thinking of the Classic Board Games sets, which were only sold as complete sets. By 1992, Classic was producing minor league baseball cards and draft pickcards (single sport and multi-sport) that were sold in packs to be built by hand.

    In answer to the original poster's question, much of their stuff was massively overproduced.
