1990 Pro Set Inserts
Updated December 22, 2012
Description: These cards were randomly inserted into Series I and II poly packs. The "Theme Art" cards, "MVP Collectible" cards and "Playbooks" were inserted at a rate of 1 per poly pack. "Special Collectibles", "Commemorative Collectibles" and "Special Promotional" cards were inserted at a rate of 1 per fiftieth poly pack (not 1 of each, rather 1 of them per 50th pack). The Lombardi Hologram was inserted at a 'possible' rate of 1 per one or two wax cases (no real information exists and was an extremely rare pull). No holograms numbered over 9,000 have surfaced for sale on ebay or other places which suggests Pro Set never released the advertised amount (10,000). UPDATE: I purchased the "Official NFL Pro Set Card Book" and read that the 1st hologram was kept by Lud Denny himself and he donated card number 10,000 to the Pro Football Hall Of Fame. It also mentions that the numbering was done by a professional calligrapher and each card cost the company $12 to produce.

| As a "friend of the blog" put it, "The Many Faces Of Andre Rison" |
Notes: Jeff George #669a became an Insert after The NFL Draft Day and is therefore referenced as 669e (Jeff Georges' RC, 669 in series II, should be referenced as 669f). If you have information about Lombardi holograms numbered 9,000+, please send me an email or post. The thinking seems to be that since the company went under or never bothered releasing the rest, the leftovers (bought by dealers or taken by employees) were used to make the counterfeit holograms numbered xx/10K (legit holograms have xx/10M). UPDATE: Series I inserts were carried over to Series II packs (confirmed by "The Official NFL Pro Set Card Book.")
