1995 Fleer #204

1995 Fleer.  Card number 204.  Not a huge fan of this one.  Too much happening on the front.  The yellow outline around the photo is pretty cool but I think the rest of the stuff on there should be on the back of the card.


The back is not a whole lot better.  If they would have condensed the spacing on the stats and added the odd stuff from the front this would be a much better looking card I think.

Current total = 33

1995 Flair #280

I like this card because it is a little thicker than most cards and with the shiny gold and silver on it it looks fancy!  I'm not usually a fan of sideways cards but this one looks pretty good.  They went with the tough guy photos, no smiling.  Gotta make sure he keeps up that street cred.


A full photo on the back which is pretty cool along with full minor league stats.

1995 Collector's Choice SE Gold, Silver #7

Next up we have the two parallel cards for the 1995 Collector's Choice SE.  These feature a Gold and Silver signature and SE logo on the front.  The gold version is a little tougher to find than the silver but that's ok, I think the silver one looks cooler anyways!



Nothing special on the back, same as the standard card.

Current totals: Gold = 2
                      Silver = 12

1995 Collector's Choice SE #7

This is one of my favorite cards.  I like the posed/candid photo and he has a good smile but what I really like is his hat.  He wrote, "Hawk, Top Dawg" on the underside of the bill.  I think it's pretty cool to show how a player has customized their equipment.


A nice little story of his Minor's career so far and some combined stats round out the back.

Current total = 70

1995 Bowman's Best Refractor #53

Nearly identical card as yesterday but this one has a rainbow sheen to it.


It also says Refractor on the back to the left of the card number.

1995 Bowman's Best #53

Chrome cards are some of my favorites and this one is a good one.  It has a nice action photo with the team logo in the background with the vertical lines behind that.  I like how that have just enough of the field in the middle to offset all of the silver on the front.


On the back they have a different photo potentially taken just before the one on the front.  Super Skills is a feature that you don't usually see on the back of a card now days.

1995 Bowman Gold #256

This is the Gold parallel version of yesterdays Bowman card.  The same loosey-goosey goodness in a golden version.


Kind of hard to tell in my poor photo but I swear it is gold.  Not real gold though.  Just golden in color.
