The first of the college cards. I waited for a set like this since I was 10 or 11, something about players in their college uniforms. I'm not sure why the hobby finally walked away from the Classic brand, but I would have to say that they just didn't give us anything to look forward to. Classic kind of blended in after a while and just got lost in the hobby explosion. I have noticed a very interesting thing about the 1996 Classic Autographs set. The 24th Annual Beckett Price Guide calls out a complete set of 6. However, I have found 9 more additions to that list of 6. Some of the cards I've found are shown below. All 3 Autos have the "SB" stamp found in the lower right hand corner. From time to time I still locate a certified autograph from this set. The 25th Annual Beckett Price Guide should call out the Autograph set as 15.
I have the following sets: Classic Series: 1) 1991 Classic Set 2) 1992 Classic Set A) LPs Insert 3) 1993 Classic Set A) LPs Insert B) Stars Insert C) Superhero Comic Insert 4) 1994 Classic Set A) Stars Insert B) Game Cards Insert 5) 1995 Classic Set A) Instant Energy Insert B) Draft Review Insert C) Rookie Spotlight Insert D) NFL Rookies Die-Cuts Insert 6) 1996 Classic Set A) Autographs Insert - Incomplete ( 14 / 15 )* B) NFL Home Jersey's Insert C) Rookie #1 Die-Cuts Insert
*Note: This set is not complete and 15 may or may not be the total # of cards. I have located and added 9 cards to the list of 6 that Beckett calls out.
