“ Looks like clear plastic, so that makes itt cool! That and the serial numbering. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Meh. ” -olerud363

“ An acetate card. I used to hate those now I am mixed on them. Some are great and others really stink. This one is OK. Not a fan of the team shown, never was never will be. ” -captkirk42

“ Insert sets in the 90s were actually good looking. This one has a bit too much going on, but it is not terrible. ” -nubala

“ Collector's Edge produced so many "different" sets through the 90's. The only thing that was cool about their sets is they were ahead of the game by serial numbering their sets/cards. ” -carthage44

“ Sitting and chillin on Air Force One looking into his Magic crystal football. ” -YoRicha

“ Move your cursor quickly over the card in this view and he is spinning around in a circle! ” -rmpaq5

“ Can't say anything negative about the card. It is after all a Dallas Cowboys card. ” -Sportzcommish

“ My card!!! My scan!!! Yeah me! I actually like this set. Plastic cards that are see-thru. Fun. ” -cjjt

“ More like Air Force Drugs ” -NJDevils

“ It almost looks as if Irvin is sitting on the Air Force One logo. Other than that, there's not much to this card, kind of boring to be honest. ” -rmitchell6700

Too much going on and it's kinda boring, meh. ------------------------------- Related to Hobie Landrith, the Mets 1st pick in the 1961 expansion draft.

I love acetate cards and this one is really good. The only issue I have with it is that his name on the front is visible backwards on the back. I really liked CE in the mid-to-late-90's, but they started making too many sets and versions in the early 2000's and that killed them.

This was back when pulling an insert was something you got excited about, unlike now in the eBay age when everything is junk unless it has an auto or it starts with a Tom and ends with a Brady. I love these sets because these cards looked good in in your collector albums, back when we used those albums. We have come so far in the hobby but we are forgetting what or why we started to collect in the 1st place?

I trade via Beckett only exceptions period. So if you wish to use eBay prices then please move on.
