Completely Red: 1989 Fleer/Fleer Update

The main thing I remember about this set, for some reason, is that it was featured in the movie Home Alone. Kevin's older brother Buzz had some in his room and they spilled out of a tin during some sort of wacky tarantula escapade or something. I don't know why I know that. Such is the life.

As for the set, what do we have here? A lot of gray. Meh. The players overlapping the top border is nice, I suppose. There are a heavy amount of errors and inconsistencies in the set, mostly in the write-ups on the backs. Ah well. Got a couple nice rookies (Sabo and Dibble), a Dave Concepcion farewell card, and a card honoring Tom Browning's perfect game. Sweet.
