And maybe it's just because I don't them very much anymore, but in my mind it doesn't seem like they were as mass produced as some of the baseball sets from the same era.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043468725408104535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730371508291366937.post-25605242159534131452017-01-31T13:05:24.395-08:002017-01-31T13:05:24.395-08:00I hadn't really thought about if their were an...I hadn't really thought about if their were any proofs made of the error/variation cards. I know that one of the four proofs per card is of the back with a blank front, and if I remember right, the backs were where a lot of the variations occurred -- so it would stand to reason that if their are any proofs of the uncorrected versions out there, those would be the easiest ones to find out whether they exist or not.<br /><br />It definitely would be interesting to find out that there were proofs made of the uncorrected cards. I would imagine those might carry a bit more of a premium though.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043468725408104535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730371508291366937.post-14132431507072677112017-01-31T12:54:11.713-08:002017-01-31T12:54:11.713-08:00It probably wasn't too difficult during the of...It probably wasn't too difficult during the off-seasons, but once the season started I would assume that's when the deputy/vice Mayor got to prove their salt.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043468725408104535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730371508291366937.post-27757097043752061602017-01-31T08:00:29.856-08:002017-01-31T08:00:29.856-08:00I love Pro Set too, especially for the variations....I love Pro Set too, especially for the variations. This puts a whole new dimension on the variation hunt. You think there are proofs for just one version of each card or maybe a set for the error and one for the corrected?<br /><br />Would be fun to find a set for one or more of my favorite variations.GCAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14713246271197550543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730371508291366937.post-46254350552007037632017-01-30T20:02:25.187-08:002017-01-30T20:02:25.187-08:00"First up we have Bob St. Clair, who if I'..."First up we have Bob St. Clair, who if I'm not mistaken, might have been the only player from one of the four major sports to hold political office (Mayor of Daly City, CA) while still actively playing."<br /><br />I wouldn't have guessed that there had ever been any - that's fascinating!

I loved 1990 Pro Set. I don't care if it was overproduced. It's a terrific set of cards. Commishbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069472376708715755noreply@blogger.com
