Released in 1990, several baseball players were the subjects of "Americana" quiz cards. Not sure how big the set was or how many were of baseball players and/or other sports players. My checklist only shows 2 baseball players - #237 Jackie Robinson and #245 Babe Ruth.

The set is listed here as Non-Sport 1992 Starline Americana http://www.tradingcarddb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/97158/1992-Starline-Americana-

My source shows as 1990; I could not finda copyright date on the Robinson card I looked at.

You are correct. According to the Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards this set is 1990.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

Looks like Admin moved the set to 1990. ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

I collected these cards as a kid, and I built a full set. I think I have some duplicates for trade if you are interested in trying to build a set. If you are interested, let me know. I will post the numbers that I have duplicates.
