Description

1988 Score is a 660 card set that was distributed by Major League Marketing (the parent company of Sportflics). The set is distinguished by the fact that each card back shows a full-color picture of the player; and the set is broken up into six distinctive 110-card color subsets.

Subsets include Reggie Jackson Tribute (500-504), Rookie Prospects (623-647), and 1987 Season Highlights (648-660).

Card #501, is one of the few cards of Reggie Jackson depicted as a Baltimore Oriole.

Rookie Cards in this set include Ken Caminiti, Tom Glavine and Matt Williams.

Checklist

Promos

Early in 1988, Score prepared some samples to show prospective dealers and buyers of the new Score cards what they would look like. These sample cards are distinguished by the fact that there is a row of zeroes for the 1987 season statistics since the season was not over when these sample cards were being printed. The cards are standard size and are virtually indistinguishable from the regular 1988 Score cards of the same players except for border color variations in a few instances.

Box Bottoms

Similar to their competitors, Score printed "cards" on the bottoms of their wax boxes. Unlike the competition, the design of the 1988 Score Box Bottoms was original. There are six different wax box bottom panels each featuring three players and a trivia question. When panels are cut into individual cards, they are standard size. The card backs of the players feature the respective League logos most prominently.
