1995-1998 Crown Royale Football Cards

Pacific, known for their high end flashy inserts, upped their game with their Crown Royale football base issues starting in 1995 and continuing into the early 2000's. Each card was high-end insert quality, gold-foil enhanced, with crown-like die-cuts. Beautiful !!!

For more fun, Pacific added several parallel card issues based on the color of the foil enhancements. There were also additional die-cut inserts and limited edition, serially numbered inserts.

Nice Stuff !!!

How long have sports cards been around ? (part 2)

The first important and mainstream basketball set was issued by Bowman in 1948. Other than a Topps set in 1957-58 and a 1961-62 Fleer set, there were no mainstream basketball sets issued until Topps started producing yearly sets beginning with their 1969-70 set featuring the rookie card of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who then went under the name of Lew Alcindor.

In hockey, there were a few sets issued in the 1910's and while O-Pee-Chee issued some sets in the 1930's, the real modern sets began in 1951 with the itroduction of Parkhurst's first set.

In racing, while cards go back as far as the early Indy car days of 1911, modern racing sets began in 1988 with the issues released by MAXX.
