1991 Fleer Pro Vision

My recent comc order was dominated by Paul Goldschmidt cards, but I did pick up a few other cards.

As a kid I opened a lot of 1991 Fleer. That's probably why I like the design to this day, while so many others despise the so called "Yellow Monster".

I have the complete set, but with an estimated 3 million copies of each card, who doesn't?

One thing I didn't have though was the complete Pro Vision set that was inserted into Wax and Rack packs of 1991 Fleer.

I had 9 of the 12, so I picked up the 3 cards (Eric Davis, Mark McGwire, and Don Mattingly) I needed to complete the set.

Here's the set in all it's glory!













Which one is your favorite? I think mine is the Ruben Sierra card. I love all the details. The cacti in the background. The badge. The sunset. The smoke coming off his bat.

Next I need to get the white Pro Vision set that was issued with factory sets. There are only 4 cards (Barry Bonds, Rickey Henderson, Ryne Sandberg, and Dave Stewart). If you happen to have these and would be willing to trade, please let me know. Thanks!

August 26, 1990 - Bo Jackson hits 4 consecutive home runs!

Bo Jackson hit 3 home runs in his first 3 at-bats on July 17, 1990 against the New York Yankees. In the same game he hurt his shoulder and ended up being on the disabled list for 40 days. In his first at-bat after rejoining the Royals, Jackson hit a 450-foot home run against the Seattle Mariners on August 26, 1990. This made him just the 17th MLB player to hit 4 home runs in 4 consecutive at-bats

Let's Trade

I have seen several other bloggers post pictures of cards to see if anyone is interested in trading. I thought I would give it a try. Here is a group of cards up for trade. Right now I am looking for cards of Mark Reynolds of the the D-Backs. Let me know if you have questions about any of the cards or are interested in trading. Thanks!
