2000 Nabisco Albertson's Houston Astros Baseball Forum

My dad is big into baseball cards and found these in his pile of thousands, we have a few full sets but we can't find any reference to these anywhere. We have searched everywhere we can think of for hours at this point. The 1999 nabisco set keeps popping up but these have a red border and not a blue one so we think its the year after. if anyone smarter than us can find out where these came from we would greatly appreciate it. thanks in advance from these 2 Astros fans.

One way to know the year for sure is to check a card of a then-active player to see if his stats on the card match what his stats actually were through 1999.

Assuming this is a 2000 issue, can you post the checklist in this thread? One of us will add it to the database, and that should make it easier to track down more information (because you’ll likely have other people recognize the set, add cards to their collection, etc.).

Always cool to find uncatalogued cards!

The problem is that all of the cards are different years that total from the season. But none go past 1999. We've gone thru them all and it varies from 1980 to 1999.

I don’t understand.  Could you post a checklist and an image of a player rather than a coach?

Alou didn’t play in 1999 and all the other pictured players’ stats are through ‘99. So it appears to be a 2000 set.  Now if you could type out a checklist …

I'll try to when I get home but as of rn this is all I have.

I believe these should be the year of 2000. That was the first year of the brick red uniform which they are wearing on these cards. The 1999 cards have the blue/gold star. The 2000 roster has all of the players listed in the pics above.

We need to get this added to the database.

Thanks,

Michael

Agreed, it's a real bummer that we know this set exists, but can't get a checklist for it.
