1994 Nabisco All-Star Cards
 
I was wondering if anyone new if the 1994 Nabisco All-Star cards came in a non-autographed version. I have a Paul Blair player collection, and have seen autographed version of his Nabisco card come up from time to time on EBay, but it always sells for some ungodly sum that I am not willing to pay. I have located a reasonably priced version, but the autograph does not look right at all. In fact, if this card does come in a non-auto version, I am reasonably sure the signature is a fake.

Does anyone have the details on this set?

I remember buying those when they were issued and don't remember a Paul Blair being offered. Maybe there were regional offerings as well?

The only 1994 Nabisco cards I remember were all signed HOF cards. Would love to see a photo of your Blair card

There is a Duke Snider on COMC without a signature.

They also have a version he signed. So not all of them were signed; or maybe it was cut from a sheet and not actually released?

Sorry it took so long to reply. Busy week. I don't actually have this card. Here is a copy that sold on EBay a year or so ago:

The autograph looks good.

The one I have my eye on is this auction:

These signatures, especially the last name, do not look authentic.

There is an awesome set on the PSA Registry:

The cards other than Gibson, Palmer, Robinson, and Snider are scarce and were created for special promotional signing events. It's likely that there are un-autographed specimens floating around that didn't get signed at the events, but these are probably even rarer than the signed versions. --tim

Here's an ad forwarded to me by Mike, the owner of the above registry set, that sheds some light on how the scarce cards were distributed:

Cool to learn about special issue items like that. I was aware of the 4 that were nationally obtained throughout their mail-in offer. I had seen some of the others, specifically remember the Oliver when I was trying to get some oddball stuff of his…never did win one.
