Why? Because '91 Fleer is amazing, that's why. The bright yellow jumps off the page. Every time you sift through a pile of junk wax, these make you stop. Don't even pretend they don't. The bright yellow frame highlights some pretty nice action shots, by the way. The Mariano Duncan is friggin' sweet. Ron Oester and Rob Dibble are strong as well.
Plus, Cincinnati was freshly off of a World Series domination of the A's, so I can't help but love any set featuring a bunch of Reds from that roster.
Let's look at the stats.

There was also a group of white bordered cards that showed highlights from the '90 World Series. Think it was a factory set.
