The size of the cards are standard-size 2 ½ x 3 ½Basic Features
Let's face it, Bowman messed up in 1989 by producing an oversize card that didn't fit in a binder, which turned collectors off; in 1990 and 1991, the set was boring with bad photos and cruddy card stock, making it just uncollectible; and then came the 1992 Bowman with a much-needed design overhaul. Card fronts feature posed and action-color player photos on a UV-coated white card face. With the bright white borders, this is what they needed. The real magic was on the reverse side. With a headshot, bio, and stats against each team for the prior year, this, in my opinion, was the best set in 1992. A subset of Team USA players and MLB Players of the Year got the gold foil treatment. These cards have borders that use textured foil.Nothing can beat the 1955 Bowman, but this set comes close.
