The 1993 Topps Stadium Club Football High Series Jerome Bettis card is only one of many cards in the high glossy set that was the premier edition for the Topps Stadium Club line, that was initiated in 1992 with the baseball series. Topps was instrumental in chase cards, as this set includes one “first day production” card which is stamped and labeled as one of the first cards that came out during the production run. These similar creations were short lived as far as limited editions were when the numbered card was introduced later during this decade.

For sports collectors everywhere, the 1990’s most certainly was the make and break decade for sports collectibles and more importantly sports cards. The over-production of the early 1990’s was disastrous for the industry, but it somewhat corrected itself during the mid to late 1990’s with the numbering of sports cards, and eventually the autographed cards. I enjoy to this day going over the sports cards in my collections and in the next few months not only will I give visual shots of these cards I will right small informational tidbits so that the reader can enjoy the pictures and read my takes on these sports cards.

I also want to welcome any sports cards collectors that wish to write about their more recent pulls and I will offer a nice banner to go along with the article if the picture of the great pull is submitted along with the information. So if you have story to tell, please share it. I can be reached at lonestar_d@yahoo.com but I really prefer that you contact me via the comment page or at the top of my blog there is a post your story here link. I would really like to hear about your great pulls as in these later years I am concentrating on collecting the older stuff.
