1990 Pro Set Unreleased Items
Updated July 14, 2014
Description: First, The Thurman Thomas 3D Lucite Card. It is about 1/4" think, with the Pro Set Logo and Thuman Thomas 'jumping out' of the card. These types of cards were commissioned from another company (whose name is currently unknown to me). Thanks to "a friend of the blog" for this extremely nice picture.

| The Thurman Thomas 3D Lucite Card - It EXISTS! |
Second, Unreleased Team Sets: These cards were made in case the Raiders or 49ers made the Super Bowl that year due to the time constraints Pro Set was under to produce a set ready to market. These "unreleased" sets should have been destroyed, but as everything with Pro Set, someone botched it up or the company simply added more error cards to their long list.
These guys didn't make it to the Super Bowl that year!

Notes: Because of their scarecity, obtaining complete sealed sets seems to be almost impossible. From my experience (and collection), I have yet to see a 49ers set in its sealed package. (Got ONE!) Most sellers are eager to maximize profits, so they break up the set into individual cards and reduce the value of what could have been PSA 10 graded cards. Shame! Note: Other lucite cards are known to exist. There is the Desert Storm Peace Dove card (which I can confirm :), The 1991 Mike Singletary card, which I have been provided a scan, and rumored Basketball and Racing Lucite cards as well (I have no idea whom they depict)! If you have any other information on these or anything else on the blog, please contact me!
Would you have an idea of how much a complete set of all four teams in the super bowl set would be worth?
ReplyDeletePlease email me to discuss the packs. I reserve the comment section for new finds and such. Robert
ReplyDeleteI'm a big Pro Set fb collector. Loved them since the beginning. Recently (a few months ago) I saw a set of 9 Raiders cards on ebay for $120! I didn't have the money at the time and kick myself for not getting it! I only have Long and Wisniewski, but I'm always looking for the others!!
ReplyDeleteHello I have a super bowl unopened team set of the giants if you want to buy it, thompsonbobby575@gmail.con
DeleteI made a mistake I do have a unopened 1990 Pro set. Unissued Giants pack along with 4 opened packs of each team that was issued a pro set Super Bowl team set. - giants, bills, 49ers, raiders I believe those are the 4 teams I still have the Rare Bo Jackson card also, If anyone is interested in the Unopened pack email with this correct email address: thompsonbobby575@gmail.com
DeleteI've seen you around Ray (tradingcardb and other forums). I too am from Texas. I listed the 9 cards you saw on eBay :-D. They were my extras. But I just saw a few PSA 10's pop up on eBay. Maybe you will get lucky and own a few more? I own the complete PSA 10 set of the Raiders. Need all the 49ers in PSA 10 (have them all RAW now. 2 sets :-D) If you want to chat about Pro Set stuff, feel free to email me at 1990proset@gmail.com. Robert
ReplyDeleteI'm lucky enough to now own the following Raiders cards...
ReplyDelete160 Wisniewski BGS
161 Shell BGS
538 Allen BGS
545 Long BGS
545 Long PSA
I just purchased 4 others (Mosebar is one I know...all BGS) and am eagerly awaiting their arrival!!
It is very surprising to me that they sell so cheap on eBay these days. I own the whole PSA 10 set of the raiders and only Bo Jackson commanded any real money. I got some of them for $3 each!! Still need to start a PSA 10 49ers set. Have a lead on some sealed packs, so might just submit them myself. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff, Robert. Former master collector, had to give up the bug for a while. A recent BIG find was made on eBay. A KELVIN MARTIN 1990 PRO SET LUCITE CARD. I've included the link to the ended auction. I had no idea this card even existed and it makes me wonder what in the world else was mocked up. I have no other information other than what was left on the on auction description. Let me know if you find out more.

Unfortunately, that card is NOT a Lucite. It is a hand made cut out card. Look at the pictures. And at this point, I am glad... too many new cards keep popping up. LOL - Robert
DeleteAlways interested in purchasing these cards or sharing information about them. Can be reached at seriouslyproset@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI believe I have the unopened proset packs you are wanting

ReplyDeleteI have a Warren Moon Lucite card, took me hours to find this post. Had no idea what it was called.
ReplyDeleteI have a bagged set of the New York giants, I opened up my other four sets long ago to put in my set, I still have them all including the empty bags. Bobby
