I skipped over the 1989 Topps FB set because it seemed kinda bland, but if it had color-matching stripes like you've created here I'd buy a box for sure.

Plus I have very few complete sets to work from my collection I'd have to use sites like The Trading Card DataBase for the research. <br /><br />I do like the team color coordination as well. I like when Topps or other brands do that. That is one of the reasons I like the 1990 & 1991 Pro Set Sets.CaptKirk42https://www.blogger.com/profile/16039278539984069944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741867383463399828.post-52856582558503586152021-04-04T11:35:34.823-04:002021-04-04T11:35:34.823-04:00A.

I do like your team color coordinated stripes, better than the random ones. But if we went back in time and Topps did follow your lead, I think I still would have found the 1989 Score football set more appealing.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.com
