Random Card of the Day

Year: 1991

Set: Topps Micro (Rate)

Card: #786 Eric Plunk


“ Is this card really that small? Seems almost stamp sized! ” -Billy Kingsley

“ I like micro/mini cards now. Back in the day, I hate to say, I threw them away!! My OCD was even worse then, and basically, they weren't even!! ” -RoyalChief

“ Rated #1 in a recent "Worst to Sort" poll. These cards are a pain to handle. ” -DaClyde

“ Uggg. Micros. Who was the audience? Ken dolls? ” -cjjt

“ I know he's in his pitching motion but it looks like he's taking a pinup position. Give me sexyness, click! ” -JimStaub

“ Plunk aka one of the ugliest baseball players of all-time! ” -carthage44

“ At the time these came out I liked the nostalgic idea of these. Remind me of the late 60s early 70s stamps and "four in ones" Topps would make. Now days with the proliferation of minis in just about every Topps set and some of the sets from other card makers I am done with tiny cards that are more than 1/2 the standard size. ” -captkirk42

“ So tiny, and so many of the cards in my factory set were terribly miscut. With this set, it was almost as though Topps was saying "we don't have to keep up with the other manufacturers, because we have 40 years of history"....but they abandoned their tradition the very next year in favor of white card stock and colorful backs. ” -dilemma19

“ I can proudly say that I have none of these. ” -NJdevils

“ When it comes to a point where you have to consider using a magnifying glass to see stats....for me it's a pass on that. I love minis but this is beyond that point! ” -Joshua825

I have the 1991 and 1992 factory sets, and I just bought a ship load of cards and the 1991 Topps set was in that sale...in pages...nasty pages...and the guy put his mini's in the pages with the regular base set...yay...You think handleing them is hard...try prying them out of 9-pocket pages WITH the base card in the same damn pocket...I don't know what I did to deserve that, but I must have been an evil person at one time...

Love the micro sets! Wish they were sold in tiny packs, though.

The micro size allows me to hide the fact that, yes, these are early 90's baseball cards.

We have all 3 sets (1991 - 1993). Sorting them was impossible. I think we have 2 of them sheeted (20-pocket pages). I had the 1991 set (2 of them) from back then. Why? I have no clue. Probably because it was released. Maybe I got them in a trade. Maybe they were cheap (oh, I hope I didn't pay a lot for them!).
