The Lean Years: 1998

 Hello Friends!

Today I'm going to look at the sets from 1998 like I did for 1997

Bowman had another decent look. But again, one I only want what I collect from.. 

Collectors Choice.. I showed two cards because the rookie cards were a little different. Again, a nice set. One I liked but again don't think I could put to fully collect

Donruss... Reminds me too much of 97 Stadium Club

Leaf was interesting.. I kind of like the way the cards look, but only want what I collect.. 

Pinnacle was in there weird era. I like it, but I don't like it, if that makes sense. I think too many Pinnacle sets from this timeframe looked too similar. .

Another solid Score outing. I've had this one cross my mind a couple times. It's not an active set collect, but if somehow a batch of cards from this set ended up in my hands, I wouldn't complain. 

Stadium Club. Nice, clean look. What I normally like about Stadium Club. Is it me, or did they revisit this look not too long ago? 

Topps. Similar to 97, but with colour and full foil for the name! I do like this one as well, but again I think I just want the collections, rather than the set

Finally Upper Deck. I feel like I should like this set.. I feel I should like the company's offerings.. I just can't.. I'll take the collections, but I don't even know if they'd get displayed aside from the Canadians. 

1998 I started University in Peterborough. I didn't know the city since I came from a small town in the middle of nowhere Ontario. I'd come to get to know the city a little, but I don't even know how or where I got cards from when I first moved here. I didn't know about Jeff's Cards and Comics unil 1999 or thereabouts. 

Honestly it was a complete eye opener. I might get into that another time, if it's something people would want to read.. I'll make sure I tie cards into it somehow.. lol
