Year: 1991

“ Somebody had to show this to his boss and explain why, again, designing on a computer was better than doing it with line tape and X-acto knives. ” -revnorb

“ whew...At least it ain't a soccer card...I really liked the 91 set, the whole 40th anniversary thing to me was cool...It started to show that Topps really looked like they were ready to step out of the dark ages...Their stock didn't change until the following year, but at least there was something more on the front than just Oscar Gamble and his awesome 'fro... ” -bigbob8188

“ This set is a top 5 Topps set in my mind. Mostly because they remind me of my childhood collecting days. ” -carthage44

“ Nice design for the overproduced 1990s. ” -captkirk42

“ Hated this set back then, was more into how much nicer UD was at the time. In the end this was probably the best of the bunch that year. Looks more like he is swinging a punch than hurling a ball. ” -Doc Floyd

“ ....Classic set design. ” -RoundtheDiamond87

“ I like this set. Really nice readable back. ” -NJdevils

“ Nothing gets me more excited then that guy you've never heard off...oh is it Mark Langston, Bert Blyleven, nope Edmonton Joe... ” -SaveDaKid

“ I have cards of Mr. Grahe, but don't recall having seen him pitch on TV, so I've never been sure of the pronunciation. I would assume it's said like "Gray" but can't be sure. ” -switzr1

I watched Joe Grahe pitch at the University of Miami what a pitcher back then '88 '89. His teammate was Alex Fernandez so they had a darn good staff. Joe still holds several pitching records at UM. One record that still stands is 194 strikeouts in 1989 and he also pitched 23 complete games in his career. Grahe is pronounced Gray. GTO

Clean, nice design. Nothing special, just a good card.

Nice design... I also like how they put, up in the top left corner, the average number of Joe Grahe cards found in a given wax box. Edited on: Jun 24, 2016 - 7:16PM
