It caused a frenzy for 1993 SP Football as well.
To the topic, I don't think it fits in the top tier of iconic modern sets but definitely a runner up to the 1989 UD, 1990 Leaf, 1991 Stadium Club and 1992 Bowman.

I think 1993 SP is iconic. I can remember every year after (94-99) that SP was one of the top sets released every year, especially when relics and autos were added. 1993 set the stage of expectations for what followed.
