Year: 1990

Set: Topps TV Boston Red Sox (Rate)

Card: #53 Julius McDougal


“ I actually really like this design- especially for a team set. Very cool. And nice to see Glens Falls show up, albeit briefly, on Card of the Day. While it's several hours north of me, I've spent a LOT of time there over the years. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ I like this card. I wish they had made a set for all 30 teams. I get that the fan bases for the teams that they chose are large, but at the time, these weren't the best teams in baseball. ” -davidhandberry

“ What is Topps TV? Never heard of these. ” -carthage44

“ This looks like the kid in little league who just got yelled at by his mom and has to struggle through the photo without crying. ” -parsley24

“ He's No Nomar. I like this design. Time to track down this set. ” -dilemma19

“ One of these commemorative souvenir type card sets, or "Deck" sets as I like to call them since they usually have a small card count of somewhere between 20 to 100 cards with most of them being 50 or 60 card count. I wonder why the Sawx got a team set? Come to think of it how many individual teams did they make for that year. Sometimes they do one for each team other times just the big market teams or one particular division or just the playoff teams. ” -captkirk42

“ Frankly, I don't know anything about this set. But it does look like something pulled from a Kellogg's or Hostess box. ” -altaeria

“ Have never seen this set before. I like this design. Much better than the 1990 Topps flagship set. Still has a very late-80's feel to it. ” -royals

“ When Topps thought what could be worse than our base set, they made this. ” -IfbBirdsCards

I actually like this card.   Different yet not spoiled with all types of strange lettering and graphics.

This must have really been a limited production and distribution.  There are 6 sets of these listed on the site.  Never seen or heard of them before.

Nice idea by Topps.  Wish they had some for all teams and continued through the years...or maybe one set produced every 4-5 years for each team.
