608.0. "94 UD Soccer" by UHUH::SOKOL () Mon Nov 29 1993 12:55

    
    I opened a box of 94 Upper Deck Soccer exclusive cards. A box of 36
    packs (10 cards per pack), 165 cards in the set. Inserts include 4 SP
    cards, honorary captains: Jackson, Gretzky, Jordan and Montana. Got
    first 3 of them. Also there is a set of 10 cards called "Bora Selects"
    presenting 10 possible champions like Brasil, Netherland, Germany etc.
    The name came from Bora M. (forgot his last name, the only coach in
    soccer history who brought 3 different national teams into the final
    round, he immigrated to US some time ago from Yugoslavia). I got 4 or 5
    of those "Bora" cards. About 10 cards short on the first set. Got away
    from soccer for so long that all the names are pretty unknown to me
    with a few exception of a few big stars like Gullit and Baggio. Found 3
    (may be even 4, have my notes at  home) errors, right now all with
    numbering the cards, like 2 different cards have the same number, had
    to follow the check list to make a set.
    
    Anyone else is doing that set? Your opinion?
