Marauders

In the last part of my Dave Brown pickups from the 90's, today we are tackling one my first 1997 Collectors Edge Marauders.

This was one of those inserts I had hoped to find in packs but no such luck.

When I got this card in from Burbank Sportcards Beckett Marketplace, where I saved 10% off by using code 15Burbank, I didn't know what to expect since I had never seen one before.

It was actually a really nice surprise.

The card is super thick and features a motion background that gives out a 3D vibe. 

There are two players on the card, one on each side, that I don't know what the connection is yet to them. Maybe there isn't one.

There are 25 cards in this set falling 1:20 in the Super Premium Packs only.

I am not sure if this would be a fun set to collect or not, but since I liked this one so much, who knows what I may do. But, for now, I plan to focus on grabbing some more 90's Giants inserts.

Let's Talk About Sets Volume 10

Let's talk about sets baby
Let's talk about it with me
Let's talk about all the good things
And the bad things that may be
Let's talk about sets (1995)
Let's talk about sets (Summitt)
Let's talk about sets (Uh huh)
Let's talk about sets....

1991 song by Salt-N-Pepa was about a much different topic than I am turning it into. You see, I am staying on topic with cards. Not,well, what they were talking about. This newest segment about the 90's will focus on my set chases (the ones I have already used for a Origins Post or don't plan on using) and new additions to them along with updates on how far I have gotten.

It's time for us to sit down and have that discussion between your parents and you that you tried to avoid. You know, that conversation you have with them about the Flairs and the Pinnacles. Kids, it's time to Talk About Sets.

Today we get back to more Ground Zero. Yes, I told you we would get dirty on the ground and we are. Five new additions to set today!

As we have sets for the 10th time today, we take a look at set additions 45-50 of the 200 I need.

Sean Dawkins


Haywood Jeffries (always dug the name)


Eric Metcalf


Lovell Pinkney

 

Alvin Harper (may be one of the biggest free agent signing busts all time)

Still 150 more to go. Feels like a long, long ways to go but look at how far I already came. I started with 8. I can do this but can't and refuse to do sets alone. I need you guys to join in.

That wraps up and taps out another round. Plenty more sets talk ahead!
