Denny's 3-D Cards

 It looks like Denny's issued cards from 1991-1997.   I didn't do a lot of research, but TCDB.com showed that.  I have some cards from some of the sets, but I don't know where they are.

I picked up a set of the 1996 cards because they are 3-D cards.  I will need to check which other ones are 3-D.  

The cards fronts and backs don't match well in my opinion.  The fronts look amazing.  They seem quite advanced for 1996. The back remind me of all of the over-produced cards from the 1990s.  Pinnacle produced these cards in 1996 and 1997 and the backs are quite a disappointment after seeing the front.

I will check out the player selection from other years in the future.  The 1996 player selection is quite good.  The 28-card set includes -

Greg Maddux, Cal Ripken Jr., Frank Thomas, Jeff Bagwell, Barry Bonds, Ryne Sandberg, Tony Gwynn, Wade Boggs, Mark McGwire and more.  Eight of the top 13 home run hitters from 1995 are included, so the set doesn't have many pitchers.  Home run leaders not included were - Sammy Sosa, Rafael Palmeiro, Larry Walker, Jim Edmonds and Gary Gaetti. 

I am going to see what other years I might have.  If I like them I will try to get the sets.

These sets seem to be cheap, so they must be over-produced like other 1990s sets.
