Comparing the Main Brands - 1999

 Year - 1999

Main Brands -  Topps, Fleer, Pacific, Upper Deck

Number of Players Included Among All the Sets: 28

Players Included in Every Set: 9

We are down two sets compared to the previous year.  Donruss and Score are gone.  For Score it was a permanent thing but Donruss would return in a couple of years.

 While the number of total players didn't change much, the number of players in every set did see a decent bump.

One thing you'll notice is that a vast majority of the pictures were taken at Wrigley Field.  You will see very few Cubs road uniforms.  And oddly, you'll see a player a Pirates road uniform.  I've also included the Fleer Mark Clark card.  It designates him with the Rangers but shows him in a Cubs uniform.

  1. I had forgotten Donruss took a break. Thanks for the efforts!

  2. Pacific is probably the best set for what it is worth. Upper Decks design is a monstrosity and so is the Fleer player name and team name. The Topps cards will stick together and you could make a brick and throw it through Joe Bazooka's window
