Let's Talk About Sets Volume 30:1996 Zenith Football

(I have been sitting on some drafts for a long time, so for fun to clean them up and give you something else extra to read to take your mind off from the Coronavirus, I will be doing some double posts for a little while. I hope everyone stays safe out there!)

Outside of the Spx sets of the 90's, there was only really one other set that turned me on towards it. That set, 1996 Zenith football.

Yes there were other years of Zenith football but none of them caught my eye more than the 1996 edition that had a black/gold appeal where the cards popped off at you.

There are 150 cards in the set. I am a little disappointed it has taken me this long to complete.

I apparently haven't updated my numbers for these yet as I am much closer to this set than what it's telling me. I think roughly 10 cards left or less. Once again, another set I just need to finish up. I really want this one.

That does it for sets talk today, plenty more sets ahead!

Let's Talk About Sets Volume 15

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 (Score)
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's sets talk is from a generous mail day from fellow blogger Bulldog  who runs the Nothing If Not Random blog

So let's check out the sauciness today.

I mentioned in the two posts of mail days how he sent along some Red Siege set help and he nailed it with all new ones!

Kerry Collins. Double PC card!

Bryant Young. The red mouth piece really stands out on the red foil.

Troy Aikman

and finally, Robert Brooks.

Thanks to Bulldog for the help with these sets. Really appreciated. Thanks to your help I am now up to 60 cards out of the 275 in the set. I have a very long ways to go but glad to be closing in on 100 and shouldn't be too far of a climb with them falling 1:3 packs.
