1995 Pacific Series 2

Often times I'll find that cards or a certain set will look a lot better in person than on the internet. I know I'm not the only one who feels that way. What seems to be more rare is when something will actually look better online than in hand. I think this is one of those cases. The cards look really tacky and cheaply made, but with the full-bleed photos they hold up fairly well if you're just looking at some small images on a computer monitor.

447 - Paul Molitor

323 - Bobby Witt

113 - Deion Sanders (Street Fighter soundtrack? Who knew?)



143 - Steve Reed (Love the photo, but it's a little blurry.)

163 - Lou Whitaker

193 - Shane Reynolds

223 - Jose Offerman (Speaking of Street Fighter...)

243 - Turner Ward (This is where the true horror of Pacific Trading Cards is revealed.)

273 - Larry Walker (The Expos were apparently into maximizing the usage of the back of the jersey space or something.)

303 - Mike Stanley

64 - Tim Salmon

94 - Jack McDowell

On the back of the wrapper (not pictured) is a special offer to send any combination of 28 '95 wrappers from any of the 6 officially licensed MLB card companies plus $2 to receive an 18-card "National Packtime" set. It's amazing to think that there once was 6 licensed companies. Did anyone ever do this redemption? The mid-'90s are fascinating to me.
