Topps Test issues from the 90's

[ALR-bishop]

I did Topps test issues up to 1994. In the 80s the toughest Topps sets for me to complete were the 80 Coins, 82 Blackless ( just print defects really but listed in SCD at one time), 84 Encased or Head in the Box, the 84 Darryl Palmer card, the 85 Minis, 88 Cloth, 89 Big Head Suckers, and 89 Yankee/Mets proof Double Headers ( 8).

For the 90s ( up to 94), the hardest for me to run down were the George Bush card, the annual Golden Spike cards, the 90 Mylar Stickers ( 6), and the 94 Bilingual set.

I did end up with one example of the SportsCubz

Tim ..Good point about the set vs singles. I know it would have sold better broken up. But since a number of the sets have already been broken up I was compelled to bid to try and keep them together. I dropped out at 5k which I thought was getting near break up value
Al ..did you notice the Jersey / Pencil Holders identified as a topps test issues. I definitely would have bid more if I had seen a Topps mark on them. They were listed as 90's but Mcgwire being in the trio seems to post to 98 or 99.

I had a chance to buy a case of those. Instead I bought a few cases of the regular 89 and 90 Double Headers from the same seller in the late 90s.
