The premiere issue of Hoosier College Basketball (November, 1991) featured 12 cards (nine on an unperforated sheet and three additional cards on an attached strip). The production run was reportedly 5,000 sets. The sheet is unperforated; if the cards were cut, they would measure approximately the standard size. The glossy color player photos appear on a jet black card face and are framed by narrow gold-foil border stripes. The player's name is printed in gold-foil lettering beneath the picture. The backs carry biographical information, jersey number, and player profile. The cards are unnumbered and checklisted below in alphabetical order. Key cards in the set include Damon Bailey, Calbert Cheaney, Greg Graham, and Alan Henderson. Reportedly an additional 100 sets were made with red borders; these sell at a 3X to 4X multiple of the regular gold-border cards. According to sources in the hobby, due to licensing issues, the NCAA recalled a good deal of these sets after release. [Collapse]
