Year: 1990

Set: Fleer (Rate)

Card: #149 Roberto Alomar


“ Excellent scan. Nice solid design. I like it! ” -Billy Kingsley

“ One of the many early 90s sets I STILL need to complete. Someday, someday. ” -captkirk42

“ Acid flashback! ” -carthage44

“ With only two years of major league experience under his belt, Robbie's already tracking toward the Hall of Fame. Unremarkable card overall, though I apparently always overlooked the "vital signs" section on the back. Fleer with SABR data before it was cool. ” -dilemma19

“ I've got a soft spot for 1990 released sets. ” -wax_house

“ Unbelievably, not even close to the worst card design of 1990. These were just uninspiring - Topps, Score, Bowman, and (especially) Donruss were much worse. ” -pistonfan

“ I have a soft spot for Fleer. I loved the debut, and even liked the 1982 set, despite the fuzzy photos. However, by 1990, there was no excuse for this lame of a set. They did have some stiff competition from Donruss and even Topps for worst design, but Fleer wins big. And to top it off, open a few packs of these and stack the cards together - look at the uneven cuts. I could've had a Kindergarten class with safety scissors do a better quality control job. For a 10th effort, this was absolutely pathetic. At least they didn't have yellow borders... ” -vrooomed

I actually quite like the clean design of this set. The problem is, liek all the set of this era, you can't go past a dollar general without random 50 count lots containing at least two dozen of these.

One of many cards in my surprisingly modest Alomar collection.

  A really fine front.   Back is decent too.
