1993 Post Baseball (It's Free)

 

I came across this small set recently and decided I had to have it.  As much as I like food issued oddball sets - for which the 90's are loaded - this seemed to fit that bill.  So when I saw this on an auction site I put in a small bid because I really had no idea how to value these.  But I still came away a winner!  

I know that many collectors won't consider buying this type of set but I don't shun them.  Many sets like this are loaded with superstars of the era and often times the design is rather fetching.

I guess you could kind of consider this to be a subset, but these two cards highlight a career achievement for two players whose careers have mirrored each other since they came in the league.  Amazingly, both players crossed the 3000 hit plateau in the same month.

The red and black stripes are a catchy look and I don't mind the vertical stripe on the right.  Though I kind of wish the Post logo was a bit smaller.  It just seems to jut out there in the picture.

For fans of airbrushed cards there are a few really good examples in this set.

The set is loaded with Hall of Famers.  I like this Gwynn as it looks like he squared around to bunt and didn't like the pitch.  

It looks like someone put some thought into the back side.  A nice layout and it is easy to read with some quick facts about the player (I never knew Glavine was also a hockey player).

This is a fun, small 30 card set for anyone who doesn't miss the team logo.

Did I mention that my low bid wasn't just for this set?  It was actually for quite a few of these sets!  

All still in shrink wrap too.  So my winning bid means you win!  That's right, anyone who mentions 'Post' in the comments will receive a complete 1993 Post Baseball card set!  Remember to use the word 'POST' in the comments.  While supplies last!  Oh who am I kidding?  I'm not running out because I've got a bunch of these so go ahead and claim one or two!
