I'm not much of a football collector, but I think I love everything about this set. It takes a very underrated design (1994 Fleer baseball) and elevates it a notch. I even love the wrapper. It's football, as you can plainly see!
213 - Rohn Stark - You never see punter cards anymore, let alone ones with this good of a close up action shot. This really makes me want to bust out some Tecmo Super Bowl.
275 - Mark Higgs - In addition to the player name and position, you get a gold foil stamped logo and a facsimile signature.
122 - Kevin Smith - You also get two full color photos on the back.
107 - Troy Aikman - A familiar face.
294 - Chris Hinton - Okay... one nit to pick here. The horizontally oriented photos still have the player name/logo/etc. on the short side of the card, but everything else is facing the other direction. I wasn't sure how to display this scan and I'm still not.
199 - John Baylor - Not to be confused with John Taylor, I guess.
268 - Gene Atkins
12 - Jerome Bettis Rookie of the Year - The Bus had an entire insert set dedicated to himself, as Fleer was wont to do in the '90s. (My favorite one was the Clyde Drexler insert set in 1992-93 Fleer Ultra basketball.)
463 - Kurt Gouveia
437 - Cortez Kennedy - Another Hall of Famer, and another football player who died way too young.
451 - Craig Erickson - Check that sassy Bucs logo.
389 - Levon Kirkland
335 - Carlton Bailey - Bailey has a huge signature.
164 - Edgar Bennett - Here's another one of those dastardly horizontal photos.
318 - Morten Andersen - We end things with a legendary kicker.

I'm not a football fan but this is a really nice set. Makes me want to get a few.
It is a nice set; and one that rarely ever gets mentioned on the blogs.
