1994 Ted Williams: Hall of Famer Eddie Matthews was a 12X All-Star. He led the league in home run 3X, walks 3X and OBP 1X. He finished his career with 512 home runs and won a World Series title with the Milwaukee Braves and with the Detroit Tigers.
Ted Williams himself as well as catching great and fan favorite Gary Carter sporting those great Expo unis and Juan Marichal. If you are saying "wow those names are hard to read" you aren't wrong. Even in hand they are very challenging.
Youngsters appear on Dawning of a Legacy (Cliff Floyd and Tim Salmon only) and The Campaign cards.
We get Negro League cards as well as a nice-looking checklist card which is a Dan Gardiner Collection (#54063).
The backs highlight the best five seasons of a player's career. I do like these.
Goin North highlights players as they readied to start their MLB careers. I like these as you don't always get to see players from this era in their minor league unis.
Mike Schmidt Swingin' for the Fences, Women of Baseball and Etched in Stone. The latter looks at highlights of a player's career.
Frank Howard, Gil Hodges, Nellie Fox and Walter Johnson. It's fun showing off these cards. So many players we aren't used to seeing on modern cardboard.

These are really cool, thanks for sharing. That Checklist with Jordan is great
ReplyDeleteLove the addition of the Negro League and Women of Baseball cards. I'm pretty sure I have both of these subsets, but maybe I should track down a complete set too.
