1995 Fleer Pro-Visions

I went to a card show last weekend and spent the first 30 minutes digging through a few dime boxes. I ended up with 58 cards, which I got for $5, so just under 10 cents each.

I was able to get the complete 1995 Fleer Pro-Visions insert set for about 50 cents.

I've mentioned before that I love the Pro-Visions insert and sub-set cards that Fleer put out between 1991 and 1995. I have the 1991 and 1991 Factory Set, 1993, and now 1995 complete insert sets and I have most of the 1992 sub-set. I just need the 1994 insert set.

Check out the 1995 set.

Now check out the set in all it's glory! When you put the six cards together it forms a mosaic. Bet you didn't know that. Even if you did know that already, it's still pretty cool. You can see that the cards don't always match up perfectly, but you get the idea. The 1994 set does the same thing, but it's nine cards.

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!
