1990 Pro Set Football Forum

1.   Promos

Can anyone shed some light on the release of these?

What about the Draft Day and Draft Day Gold?

What about Barry Sanders 1A? Trade Show

If I'm understanding correctly I can only trade for all of these and cannot aquire them in packs. 

2. Are there any tricks to knowing which printing "A" or "B" is in what box? I like cracking packs and collecting, not trading so much. 

3. How many boxes were printed? -e.g 10m boxes with 360m packs and an insert every 50 packs thats 7.2m inserts divided by 6 options so 1.2m of each?

I haven't quite figured out where to get the Barry Sanders card from. At one point I had thought they were in the promo folders that also included the 1990 Pro Set Brett Hull card with the blue line, but after acquiring a half dozen of those, they had the packed out version of the Barry Sanders card. UNLESS, those had the Sanders swapped out but not the Hulls.

Regarding the Draft Day (669) this page says it was issued as a set:

As for the gold, it could be just a gold bordered version of the regular draft day set.

Great info, thank you!

The trade show Barry Sanders card was a handout at the Kit Youn card show in Hawaii at the Pro bowl.

Some were inserted in their magazine. The Denny and Young cards were custom made for Denny and he handed them out.
