All the Cubs Inserts From the 1990s

This is the decade that saw the development of modern inserts.

The 1990s begin where the 80s left off, with the glossy All-Stars in rack packs and glossy rookies in Jumbo packs.

The glossy cards run ended in 1992.  In fact, there were no inserts at all in the 1992 set.  There were the gold cards, but I consider them parallels, not inserts.  And sadly, the 1992 set was the first to be sold without gum.

Inserts returned in 1993 with the 44-card Black Gold set.  Black Gold returned again the next year.

The 1995 set saw the inclusion of three different insert sets.  There were Cyberstats cards, which extrapolated the 1994 strike shorted stats over a complete season, League Leaders, and Total Bases Finest.  If I had to put a starting date on modern inserts, I'd choose 1995 because of the three different sets.

Moving forward through the rest of the 1990s we get all sorts of insert sets, like Confrontations, Masters of the Game, Mystery Finest, Five Star Finest, Power Boosters, Profiles, Road Warriors, and a slew more.

Though there were tons of inserts sets, there aren't tons of Cubs.  The '90s Cubs teams weren't very good.  They tallied just 45 total inserts and 24 of those are of just three players, Mark Grace, Sammy Sosa, and Kerry Wood.

Here are the 45 Cubs inserts from the 1990s:
