With all of that, would it have been a big deal without Griffey Jr.? I mean suppose the biggest rookie had been Sheffield.

I'd still remember the innovations, though. It would be similar to the 1991 Wild Card Football release. That set included the first parallels (1,000 stripe version, anyone?) but largely fell flat.

Oh yeah those Stadium Club sets were really nice. I loved seeing the rookie cards included on the back of them.

This is still one of my favorite cards, it's just a thing of beauty.

I think 1988 Score doesn’t get enough love, in context. Action photos and a decent format and color on the reverse. Kind of weak on rookies but the Reggie subset was decent. Compare that to the late ‘80’s Topps, Fleer and Donruss efforts and it stands out. Insane overproduction didn’t help and UD stole their thunder the next year but, still…

In general though, I was not blown away with the Stadium Club sets. Photography was too dark, the backs looked amateurish and the cards tended to stick together.

The Topps 1990 Mylar Sticker test issue mentioned by Justin. This is all of them with their little sparkles:
As for the 65 Embossed, they were very shiny but doubt even their mothers could have identified the players Last edited by ALR-bishop; 10-31-2022 at 11:17 AM. |

These 1950s Good Luck Margarine Airplanes cards were shiny -- printed on the backs of foil coated boxes.

Stadium Club and Studio were both always focused on fantastic photography. In terms of "shiny" cards really depends on definition and whether you're talking about pack-pulled mass-produced sets (or inserts) with nation-wide distribution (Topps/Bowman, Donruss/Leaf, Fleer, Score/Pinnacle, Upper Deck) or regional / promos.
