I've always loved some of the early 90's inserts, especially the "rookie focused" inserts from Donruss, Fleer, Leaf and Pinnacle (the classic being the 1992 Fleer Rookie Sensations set). Even more, I remember really loving those sets that had shiny black borders. And though I didn't realize it at the time, since condition and centering mattered not to me back then, those black bordered cards are damn hard to find in mint condition.

for my PC, I knew I wanted to try and go back in town and track some of them down...here's a few I most enjoy, several were actually submitted by me to BGS

1992 Donruss Rookie Phenoms Mike Piazza

1993 Fleer Major League Prospects Mike Piazza and Pedro Martinez

1993 Pinnacle Pedro Martinez (okay, not an insert set, but part of the Rookie Prospect checklist)

1993 Pinnacle Rookie Team Pinnacle Mike Piazza (loved these cards! who didn't love getting a dual sided card and the uniqueness of an artistic rendering of the player vs. a photo?)

feel free to share yours!
