Baseball cards - looking for web site w/explanations regarding..?
Question:the differences in basball cards. Obviously I am new to this. I am doing a friend a favor by organizing thousands of cards that where just thrown into a box after a "nasty divorce" and I am curious about some things. They are all Score 91 but why do the have 4 different boarder colors? I can see the difference between the "Rookie Prospect" ones and the "1st round pick" and "no hit club" etc., The 4 colors are black, blue, green and white, but I see no difference in the information that they display. Each color has cards for every position, division, AL or NL and I just don't know the difference. The Upper Deck ones are clear along withthe Fleer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is driving me nuts!!!!

What would a pitchers ERA if he pitches 1 inning and gives up 7 earned runs?
Some of them could possibly inserts or just the color scheme used period. In any case your local hobby shop will let you look them up for free in their monthly Beckett. Not the weekly.I'm really rummaging deep in the grey cells for this, but Score had a habit of using different border color schemes for every block of 100 or 110 cards; e.g., cards #1-110 would be blue, #111-220 would be green... that sort of thing. The actual colors were indicative of nothing, it was just a design decision.
1991 Score are pretty much worthless. Rookie cards of Chipper Jones and Mike Mussina, the rest is good for firestarter. It was a fun set, certainly, but commands nil value.
