About this set: So, much like Uncle Rico, when I hop in the time machine back to 1993, I will be king. I remember going to card shows where if there was even one of these things around it was a big deal. What a great set and concept. The star, 40 HR (David Justice, Jeff Bagwell, Matt Williams, Gary Sheffield, Rafeal Palmeiro, Andre Dawson, Larry Walker, Jose Canseco, Frank Thomas, Ryne Sandberg, Juan Gonzalez, Jay Buhner, Andres Galaragga, Ken Caminiti, Mo Vaughn, George Bell, and Mike Piazza), 50 HR (Albert Belle, Brady Anderson, Cecil Fielder, Ken Griffey, Jr., and Luis Gonzalez), 60 HR (Sammy Sosa), 70 HR (Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire)and HOF (Rickey Henderson, Ozzie Smith, George Brett, Paul Molitor, Tony Gwynn, Wade Boggs, Cal Ripken, Dennis Eckersley, Ryne Sandberg, Nolan Ryan, Eddie Murray, Carlton Fisk, Dave Winfield, Robin Yount, Andre Dawson, Roberto Alomar and Barry Larkin) list for this set is off the chart. Special thanks to Josh Ball and John Stevens for helping me get this set together through both sale and trade. Glad to answer emails about the set or trade offers.

Uncle Rico's Finest
Spec No.	Card#	Item	Grade	Pop	Pop Higher	Owner's Comments
0612930018	1	DAVID JUSTICE	8	26	57
0612930028	2	LOU WHITAKER	9	77	6
0612930038	3	BRYAN HARVEY	9	84	20	One of the cards denoted as SP by Beckett. Population report #'s would show that it is not any more rare than a number of cards in the set. I can't see a reason to place any premium on this card and it is relatively easy to obtain.
0612930048	4	CARLOS GARCIA	9	66	13	As far as scarcity, it closely mimics the Brett Butler. Probably looking to pay a little more than most commons in this set.
0612930058	5	SID FERNANDEZ	9	85	13
0612930068	6	BRETT BUTLER	9	71	6	A little bit of a premium on this card. It is not impossible to come by, but there is usually strong interest when it appears on Ebay. The perceived scarcity and appeal of Brett Butler put this card on par with what you would normally pay for HOFers like Murray and Puckett. Collectors looking hard for Gem Mint copies.
0612930078	7	SCOTT COOPER	8	16	48	Pop #'s are real low on Scott Cooper but really doesn't command much of a premium.
0612930088	8	B.J. SURHOFF	8	18	56
0612930098	9	STEVE FINLEY	9	60	4
0612930108	10	CURT SCHILLING	9	41	3	Hugely underrated card. Potential HOFer and Top 5 lowest pop # in the set.
0612930118	11	JEFF BAGWELL	8	18	89
0612930128	12	ALEX COLE	8	11	79

0612930218	21	TODD ZEILE	9	45	12
0612930228	22	RICK AGUILERA	9	65	13
0612930238	23	DAVE HOLLINS	9	87	23
0612930248	24	JOSE RIJO	9	76	6	My perception is that this one of the more desirable commons in the set with increasing scarcity. Slight premium over most commons.
0612930258	25	MATT WILLIAMS	9	75	20
0612930268	26	SANDY ALOMAR JR.	9	67	15

0612930448	44	JOHN BURKETT	9	72	11
0612930458	45	DARRYL HAMILTON	9	71	11
0612930468	46	JIM ABBOTT	9	59	7
0612930478	47	IVAN RODRIGUEZ	9	130	15
0612930488	48	ERIC YOUNG	8	20	57
0612930498	49	MITCH WILLIAMS	9	63	14
0612930508	50	HAROLD REYNOLDS	8	31	48	A popular card in this set with relatively low pop report #'s. Sells on par with Willie Greene and is a solid bet to run at least $125.
0612930518	51	BRIAN HARPER	8	26	65	The availability of this card has varied widely in the time I've followed this set. One of the cards ending in "1" that are believed to be scarce. The # of Harpers graded would indicate it is basically on par with most of the set. Patience will payoff as far as obtaining one at a reasonable price.
0612930528	52	RAFAEL PALMEIRO	9	81	7
0612930538	53	BRET SABERHAGEN	9	70	10
0612930548	54	JEFF CONINE	9	95	7
0612930558	55	IVAN CALDERON	9	79	14
0612930568	56	JUAN GUZMAN	8	27	68
0612930578	57	CARLOS BAERGA	9	88	34
0612930588	58	CHARLES NAGY	8	17	80	In my experience a somewhat uncommon common, but it sells on par with most commons in the set. Pop reports will show it on par with Brian Harper in terms of availibilty.
0612930598	59	WALLY JOYNER	9	72	11
0612930608	60	CHARLIE HAYES	7	2	59	One of the real toughies in the set. Pop report confirms the rarity vs. other cards. Usually sells at a real premium $150-$250. Not quite as impossible as some others though.
0612930618	61	SHANE MACK	9	66	3
0612930628	62	PETE HARNISCH	9	110	2
0612930638	63	GEORGE BRETT	9	107	12
0612930648	64	LANCE JOHNSON	8	17	91

0612930688	68	RON GANT	9	85	4
0612930698	69	DOUG JONES	9	75	6
0612930708	70	PAUL MOLITOR	9	66	3
0612930718	71	BRADY ANDERSON	8	26	38	Brady is one of the most underrated cards in the set. Pop reports show it to be more rare than almost any card in the set, yet it sells for a fraction of the price of other "rare" commons. Also hard to find in 9.

0612930838	83	GREGG JEFFERIES	9	50	10
0612930848	84	ANDRE DAWSON	8	28	108	Apparently there is no truth to the rumor that The Hawk was hording this card.

0612931068	106	FRED MCGRIFF	9	64	16
0612931078	107	NOLAN RYAN	9OC	32	87	The toughest "star" to come by. Ryan remains a hobby icon and this card is the keystone of the set. Not sure how Ripken got the 10 weighting for the Registry. They should both be 10. Take any oppurtunity you can to scoop this up at a reasonable price. Condition sensitive to centering. Centered copies bring a big premium.

0612931238	123	WIL CORDERO	8	32	38
0612931248	124	JAY BUHNER	8	22	60	Tough card to come by. The cards ending in "4" following the All Stars in the set center are all scarce or perceived scarce. Buhner is on the more plentiful side and usually sells on par with Harold Reynolds.
0612931258	125	CARLTON FISK	9	81	7

0612931328	132	TOM CANDIOTTI	9	64	29
0612931338	133	PAT BORDERS	9	55	3	Top 5 hardest to obtain. Pop #'s have been rising but will still command $200+ raw.
0612931348	134	KEVIN BROWN	8	12	61	Another "4" card, usually widely available, but has a lower count than the more sought after Buhner.
0612931358	135	TRAVIS FRYMAN	9	38	10

0612931438	143	HOWARD JOHNSON	8	36	44
0612931448	144	ORESTES DESTRADE	9OC	9	75	Top 5 Toughie. No one has yet been able to obtain a 10 so collector demand is sky high for good looking raw copies. There are many cards with similar pop #'s though. Expect to pay a bit for this card.
0612931458	145	JOSE GUZMAN	9	67	6	Interestingly this card brings no premium but has one of the lowest pop #'s in the set.
0612931468	146	CHAD CURTIS	9OC	4	88
0612931478	147	CAL ELDRED	8.5	1	80
0612931488	148	WILLIE GREENE	9	61	14	Hording has brought artificial demand to this card. But if you want one they usually go for at least $150.

0612931508	150	ERIK HANSON	8	16	73

0612931528	152	JOHN JAHA	9	48	8
0612931538	153	HAROLD BAINES	8	18	37	One of the lowest population #'s but usually does not command much of a premium.
0612931548	154	RANDY JOHNSON	9	60	8	This future HOFer's card is fairly popular and ends in "4" and commands a price worthy of the Big Unit. Pop #'s indicate a healthy supply so don't get carried away.

0612931738	173	JUNIOR FELIX	9	51	18	Listed as SP in Beckett but it's not.
0612931748	174	JIMMY KEY	8	26	47	ABSOLUTE TOUGHEST or at least a dead tie with Orel Hershiser. Pop report confirms that these 2 are tied for rarest with only 43 of each having been submitted. Collectors actively try to keep these off of Ebay. Expect any auction that comes up with this card to end early. Good luck.
