Checklist

Promos

Score sent these cards to Hobby dealers to promote the upcoming 1991 Score Baseball set. The set parallels cards #101-200 from the base set. These cards may be distinguished from their regular issue counterparts by the absence of the last season's statistics and the fact that career stats are not updated.

Inserts

Mickey Mantle

This seven-card set features Mickey Mantle at various points in his career and was randomly inserted into Series Two packs. According to promotional materials released by Score, only 38,500 cards were inserted into packs; meaning, each card is limited, but not serial-numbered to 5500.

A glossy version of this set was also released to dealers and media members on Score's mailing list and was serial-numbered to 5000 copies numbered on the back. The numbered version was issued as a full set in seven-card packs with the card number and serial number appearing on the back.

World Series Trivia

For the fourth year, each pack of Score contained one of 72 lenticular "Magic Motion" trivia card -- this year's theme being the World Series. The first 56 cards commemorate a previous World Series, while cards #57-72 are multiple choice trivia cards.

This would be the final year Score packs were required to contain something other than baseball cards, and the final year for the Magic Motion trivia cards.
