The lists will include all cards manufactured by Pro Set begining right after the end of the 1990 Pro Bowl and right before kick-off of the 1991 Pro Bowl. Also included will be the prototype cards for the 1990 set, even though they were made in 1989. I do this because those cards differ greatly from the 1989 sets' appearance and were made specifically to gain ideas on how to produce the 1990 set.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Why Bother?<br />
I started this blog after being down right disgusted by ebay sellers who use catch words like 'rare' to describe a certain version of a card that is easily obtainable. Other key words used are 'error' or 'variation.' While this makes searching for stuff a bit easier, the words do not accurately describe the cards. Although some errors might be hard to find in a pack, it has been my experience that the majority of the corrected versions will be harder to acquire.<br />
<br />
And, on the same note, lets get this information out as soon as possible: <span style="color: red;"><strong>THERE ARE NO SHORT PRINTS (SP) </strong></span><span style="color: black;">anymore! The two famous SP's found in this set (75 [retired] & 338 [contract disputes - inactive for first 7 weeks of 1990]) are readily available in sealed packs from late printed boxes/cases. I will explain further as I post information about each individual card.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Please check back for updates on a regular basis. I am compiling lists for everything and will publish them with their respective card scans as time permits. In the meantime, you can find a plethora of information from web sources, including </span><a href="http://www.beckett.com/search/#term=1990%20pro%20set%20football" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Beckett.com</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">, and </span><a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/3252" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;">TradingCarddb.com</span></a>. But be warned... Both have a few errors listed, such as Ozzie Newsomes' CORRECT home town. They list it as Little Rock, AR<span style="font-family: inherit;">. This is a mistake on their part. A bit of searching (by me!) revealed that he was actually born in Muscle Shoals, AL. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Notes:</strong> I have changed my timeline to include the days leading up to the 1991 Pro Bowl. Thanks to the 'anonymous' person that pointed it out. If I still have it wrong, or anything else on my blog, by all means post or email me!</span></div>
