The Grid 1992 Complete Checklist

What it is (and why it’s unique)

Complete, base-only release (200 cards). No parallels, no inserts, no pack-pulled autos—just a big, comprehensive base set covering cars, driver portraits, GPs, circuits, team principals, tributes, and historic moments from the 1992 F1 season.
Early “modern” F1 set with premium finishing. Beckett’s set profile notes gold-foil layering and heavy UV coating, which made the cards feel upscale compared to most early-90s motorsport issues.
Sold widely as packs and as a factory set. Collectors could bust boxes (commonly sold as ~24 packs x 8 cards per box) or buy the 200-card boxed set outright—one reason the checklist is easy to build in raw condition today.
Era time-capsule. It captures the Williams/Mansell–dominated 1992 season (Mansell won the title; Williams took Constructors), while also including legends like Ayrton Senna and the sport’s rising talents.

The chase cards everyone looks for

Michael Schumacher RC — #51

The hobby’s consensus “top” Schumacher rookie from this set. PSA’s set write-up calls #51 the most desirable Schumacher in 1992 Grid, and TCDB also tags it “RC” on the checklist. High-grade copies drive the bulk of set value and see regular auction activity.
Other key Schumachers — #18 (Benetton car) and #84 (portrait)

Not rookies, but they’re popular companion pieces to #51 and are frequently slabbed/tracked alongside it. (See PSA APR/Pop pages and market trackers.)
Ayrton Senna base cards — #34, #67

Senna is a perennial PC target; his 1992 Grid cards are among the most submitted non-rookies in the set and see consistent auction results.
Recognized rookie cards beyond F1

Three additional RCs in the set’s “Rookies” list: Alex Zanardi #169, Jacques Villeneuve #172, and Jimmy Vasser #175 (appearing in the set’s “Rising Stars/other series” portion). These don’t rival #51 in demand, but they’re the next-tier chases for rookie-focused collectors.

Card count: 200 (base only).
Finish/design: Gold-foil accents + heavy UV gloss.
Format: Factory “Collector’s Set” boxes and hobby boxes (typical pack config reported as ~24×8).
Why it endures: It’s one of the best, affordable ways to collect the Senna/Mansell era and to own a widely accepted Schumacher rookie without chasing modern ultra-short prints or parallels.
