Wow, that was a nice run through history.

I generally agree with all your ratings, except that imo, nothing beats the early UD sets. Not even close.

I liked that you rated the 1988 Score as the best that year. I thought they really had something that season with the color backs and great writeups. But repeating the same mistake as Fleer in 1982, they hit the sophomore jinx the next year. I never cared much for Score after that.

For me, the best year all around was 1984 with Donruss just edging Topps. Both were very nice sets. I've recently pulled out one of my 1984 Donruss sets and put it in a binder and am slowly working on a signed version.

And as one poster above said, the 1990 Leaf cards were top-notch.
