228.0. "1991 Score Baseball" by EBBCLU::MONDALTO () Wed Jan 02 1991 09:23

    Just started my 1991 Score Baseball,and I have a few questions that I
    would like to ask. I bought 2 boxes of cards at B.J.'s in Salem N.H.,
    ($12.98) per/box and couldn't wait to get home to start opening them.
    I opened 2 boxes figuring that I could complete a set but I still need 
    about 15 cards more for the set. In both boxes I got a few Jose
    Canseco Dream Team cards. I guess that there are 13 of these
    cards,because his card is 1 of 13. Are all these cards going to be out
    at the same time,and is it a coincidence that I just happend to get 5
    of the same card ? Is there going to be a series II,(stupid question).
    I am totaly satisfied with the new card,they look great as usual.
    I would have to say that if you want to complete a set,it will take 
    3 boxes to do it...............

    I also got 2 Jose Canseco Dream Cards and nobody else and it's # 441,
    1 of 13, is this the last card in series I. 
    
    Thanks

228.2SPAG's has SCORE boxesPACKER::CORNELLWed Jan 02 1991 12:366
    SPAG's in Shrewsbury have SCORE 91 boxes on sale for 12.50 per box. 
    Picked up 2 boxes and still need about 15 cards to complete series I.
    Cards look real nice, 4 colors make up the set so far.  Might be more
    colors to complete the set.

    	I guess you guys got lucky, I bought 2 boxes and did not find any
    	of the Dream team cards at all.  Did anyone get a complete set of 
    	the World Series trivia cards ?.

228.5Score has my vote as best looking!AKOCOA::GASPARONIWed Jan 09 1991 18:174
    Score has my vote as the best looking, the most imaginative cards for 
    1991.  Very colorful, and the Dream Team, and Rookie cards are real
    nice looking, and they also have some of the horizontal format which
    are nice, and bring back nice memories of the Topps 1960 set.
228.6Score is looking good!CSCOAC::BOLLES_JMon Feb 04 1991 19:504
    
    - I agree Score is a good looking card this year,as well as lasts. I
    have not seen the Upper Deck 91's. I have not completed my set as of
    yet but will be soon.
228.7WHAT'S NEXTBOSOX::WALWORTHMon Feb 11 1991 15:478
    Looks like Score got into the craze by randomly inserting specialty
    cards of Mickey Mantle autographed in their wax packs.  Looks like all
    the top campanies have to have a gimmick to sell.
    
    
    
    Will it ever stop,

228.8Great Pro-Mo Packett to the Dealers of Score.AKOCOA::GASPARONITue Feb 12 1991 18:529
    Just heard about the new Mantle craze on the Score Series II.  There is
    going to be some nice Mantle, never published cards in the set.  Fred
    at the Concord CArd Shop showed me the Score Promotion Liturature on
    the cards, and thats Real impressive, alot of never seen before pics
    of mantle and Billy M. and a few of mantle swinging the bat, using a 
    Black Bat.  I didn't know the black bats were around then, this pic
    had to be back in the 1950's, late that is.  Once again, this was the 
    pro-mo packet that the dealers get.  If anyone sees them for sale, let
    me know, I would like to buy one.

228.15893 is a large setDDIF::TANCILLlong may you runMon Mar 25 1991 23:4511
    
    I also thought Score was the nicest set of the year, so I collected
    Series I, my only beef is the total number of cards (~900) seems
    a bit much.  Is this one of the largest sets going?  The small size
    of most series II for other sports I'm currently collecting had me
    expecting less sheer numbers in score series II.  Definitely not
    worth trying to do casually by packs, I "had" to buy a wax box
    the other day at a show ($14).

228.174 or 5 x 900 x doubles & triples = $$$$$SSVAX::LEONHARDTTue Mar 26 1991 11:385
    The last two are why I am now out of the baseball card business.
    Can't, a) afford it dollarwise, b) can't afford it spacewise...
    :-(
