1990 Pro Set Dumpster Finds

1990 Pro Set Dumpster Finds

Updated June 25, 2012

Description: This list is called 'Dumpster Finds' because of the way the cards made it into the collecting community.  I have read on another blog of a person who worked as a sanitation driver and was picking up trash from the Pro Set facility.  He found many uncut sheets in boxes and took them home.  When he found his way to that Pro Set blog, he posted many of his sheets were 'blank back,' incorrect fronts/backs, etc. and then stated that he was going to cut the sheets to sell the cards.  They have never been found in poly packs.

Notes:  Although the list is now updated, it is STILL very incomplete.  I was not keeping track of them before as I had no interest in them.  Also,  I have met a seller on ebay that made a warehouse deal with Pro Set.  He has many of these cards available for sale, listing them as 'rare' because they were probably going to be discarded/destroyed.  These were never supposed to make it out of the warehouse.  But, that still doesn't prevent us from collecting them.  LOL!
