I picked up a jumbo box of 1993 Fleer Series 1 at a recent card show and decided to dice it up as part of a free group break. This was the first year that Fleer went with a glossy coating on their cards. Here's a random pack from the box.

87 - Eric Hillman

217 - Derek Lilliquist (Lilliquist is the current bullpen coach for the Cardinals as well as acting pitching coach in Dave Duncan's absence.)

262 - Chili Davis

96 - Anthony Young (Young is checking to see if anyone noticed his 2-14 season.)

219 - Charles Nagy (Fleer tilted the card backs, a first for them. I do like the added touch of the second full color photo.)

85 - Daryl Boston

264 - Greg Gagne (More than anything in life, Gagne enjoys throwing down a good bunt.)

98 - Juan Bell

236 - George Brett

115 - Jose Lind

127 - Ray Lankford (Here's Lankford sporting some flip shades and some goofy straps.)

117 - Orlando Merced (Merced is apparently allergic to bats.)

300 - Walt Weiss

125 - Bernard Gilkey (Coming up in the Whiteyball era, it took awhile before Gilkey developed much power.)

302 - Willie Wilson

129 - Donovan Osborne

232 - Scott Livingstone

304 - Bret Boone (Boone drove in 147 runs in 2001, finishing 3rd in MVP voting while his own teammate took away the crown.)

234 - Mickey Tettleton

113 - Jeff King

355 - Ivan Rodriguez and Kirby Puckett Super Star Special (I always enjoy the Fleer Super Star Special cards, but I appreciated them more when they'd have a cheesy title on the front. This card is called "Power Packs".)

182 - Jody Reed

5 - Brian Hunter

40 - Tim Pugh

197 - Tim Salmon (Did anyone call him The Jammin' Salmon? No?)

357 - Roberto Alomar, Chuck Knoblauch and Carlos Baerga Super Star Special ("Infield Trifecta")

168 - Chris Hoiles

3 - Ron Gant

7 of 10 - Reggie Sanders Rookie Sensations (I seem to remember Rookie Sensations being a bigger deal in Fleer Basketball, at least in the early days. Sanders had a nice career playing for a lot of teams.)
