1991 Upper Deck Baseball Complete Set MLB Baseball Trading Cards (Factory Sealed). Preserved in its original factory sealed packaging and representing one of the most recognizable baseball card releases of the early 1990s. Produced by Upper Deck in 1991, this collection contains the complete 800 card base set, featuring an extensive lineup of Major League Baseball superstars, established veterans, promising young players and future Hall of Fame inductees. Among the notable players represented are Ken Griffey Jr., Nolan Ryan, Cal Ripken Jr., Rickey Henderson, Tony Gwynn, Frank Thomas, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Randy Johnson, providing collectors with an impressive selection of some of the most influential figures in modern baseball history. One of the most celebrated cards in the collection is #SP1 Michael Jordan, a special short printed card featuring the Chicago Bulls superstar taking batting practice with the Chicago White Sox. Issued years before Jordan's highly publicized pursuit of a professional baseball career, the card became one of the most recognizable and memorable baseball collectibles of the early 1990s, bridging the worlds of basketball and baseball during the height of Jordan's popularity. The set also includes the popular #555 Nolan Ryan Baseball Heroes card, part of Upper Deck's innovative tribute to the legendary pitcher, whose remarkable career included seven no-hitters and a Major League record 5,714 strikeouts. Introduced just two years earlier in 1989, Upper Deck had quickly established itself as a major force in the trading card industry through its premium card stock, glossy finishes, sharp photography and innovative hologram security features. The 1991 Upper Deck Baseball set continued that tradition with vibrant full color photography, distinctive horizontal and vertical card designs and memorable action images that helped redefine the appearance of modern baseball cards. As an original factory sealed complete set, this example offers collectors the opportunity to acquire the entire 1991 Upper Deck Baseball issue in its unopened retail presentation, with the individual cards remaining unexamined within the original packaging. Factory sealed sets are especially appealing to collectors who appreciate original packaging, vintage sports card products and the nostalgia associated with the baseball card collecting boom of the early 1990s. Combining an extensive 800 card checklist, numerous legendary MLB players, the iconic Michael Jordan SP1 card and original factory sealed presentation, this 1991 Upper Deck Baseball set represents an appealing addition to any vintage baseball, Hall of Fame or unopened sports card collection.
