@WineOver1234@NinersHistory@garrisonhearst5@49ers Garner & Lawrence Phillips were both added in '99 to fill in after Hearst's leg injury during the NFC Divisional.
Hearst miraculously returned for the '01 season after Garner left for Oakland to team with Tyrone Wheatley.
@ToppsGallery@JunkWaxHeroes In 1999, I made a deal to get a '86 Topps rack pack with the Rice RC on back -- I immediately broke it open, put the Rice in the screw-down, then opened the rest where a Steve Young and Bruce Smith also hid
@DubMentality I remember the Beckett buzz when Elite cards debuted, but then being confused as to why the Diamond Kings were worth so much more starting in '92... and why Donruss packs doubled in price that year with their new, fancy foil packs, haha
@DubMentality Are Donruss Elites considered the first mainstream inserts/chase set?
I know Fleer NBA had the late-'80s All-Star stickers, while '91 Upper Deck NFL featured the "Game Breakers" holograms late that summer, but...
... As for MLB, maybe the 1990 Upper Deck "Heroes" qualify?
@DubMentality Such a memorable set -- As an early-'90s Beckett subscriber, it was shocking to see the value of these cards skyrocket with a year of their release
