Good junk wax era sets to build?

I actually really like the 1998 Fleer Tradition set(s): http://www.baseballcardpedia.com/ind...leer_Tradition
It meets all of the criteria that you outlined, plus it's got so many small, included subsets that the ways to set build appear really numerous and fun! My particular favorite is the Vintage '63 subset, but there are tons more.

1993 Pinnacle is a decent set. I really like the design with the black borders and it features nice rookies of Jeter and Piazza.

1996 Topps Gallery, and if you want to get exclusive the Players Private Issue cards. I think these are pretty neat, and nobody seems to give the first flip about them. The only cards which might cost something ($10-20) raw are the Griffey and the Jeter.

Super sleeper - 1997 e-x2000

The acetate inlays look great and the inserts are awesome.

Then if you want a fun gimmicky one that is small for a quick project try 1997 Topps Screenplays.

I stopped my non-Topps run with the 1992 offerings.

I always liked 1992 Score, and 1992 Fleer isn't bad either - the inserts are good. You can get a Young Superstars Frank Thomas for a LOT less now than in '92-'93, that's for sure.

Not exactly what you're asking for, but I recently had fun building some Conlon sets from wax boxes.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have the entire run of the Conlon set already going. I am missing some cards from the 1994 series so maybe I will try to knock those out as part of this. Thanks!

This thread is of interest to me. I have been thinking about getting back to 80s and 90s collecting. I stopped paying attention to cards for a fairly decent amount of time beginning around 1992 so I missed this set. It looks great! I was 25 then and in graduate school with some interest in vintage, but I was checked out of modern stuff at that point. This set has a lot of variety, and looks like a fun, affordable project.
