1998 Collector’s Choice StarQuest S1 is made up of 90 cards across four different subsets. Subsets are distinguishable by titles (as stated on card backs) and each is accompanied by a number of stars (one to four) printed along the bottom of the card fronts. The more stars, the harder the card is to pull.

While cards from the Superstar Domain subset have the slimmest insertion ratio, they’re actually quite affordable. With an excellent roster of era-specific players, and the overall availability and cost of collecting this run, building a set of 1998 Collector’s Choice StarQuest S1 is very feasible.

1998 Collector’s Choice StarQuest S2 is a 30-card set that features four unique parallels, each harder to pull than the last. Each parallel is distinguishable by design finish, parallel statement and number of baseball diamonds printed in the lower half of card fronts. The Home Run parallels are the hardest to find, come with a print run of just 100, and feature a holofoil finish, and as such are the most desirable among collectors. These elusive parallels make putting together a master set of 1998 Collector’s Choice StarQuest quite challenging.
