That's a good idea...thank you! If they'll fit in the title, I'll do that.

I'm glad you spoke up when I only had 10 sets listed, not 90.

Added tonight:

1993 ProCards Sarasota White Sox
1993 ProCards Las Vegas Stars
1993 ProCards Orlando Cubs
1993 ProCards Syracuse Chiefs
1993 Pawtucket Red Sox

Not a lot of names in the Sarasota set.

The Las Vegas set has Pedro Martinez...just not THAT Pedro Martinez. Other than that, not much other than nice to see a couple of Red Sox connections on the coaching staff in Russ Nixon and Marty Barrett.

Orlando has Jose Hernandez, who played a good long time.

Syracuse features Darrel Akerfelds, Woody Williams, and Lee Stevens.

The Pawsox set includes Aaron Sele, Steve Lyons, and Herm Winningham.

More sets listed:

1993 ProCards Bowie Baysox
1993 ProCards Clearwater Phillies
1993 ProCards Fort Lauderdale Red Sox
1993 ProCards El Paso Diablos
1993 ProCards Bluefield Orioles


The Bowie set has number of recognizable names, such as Gregg Zaun, Edgar Alfonzo, and Jeff Hammonds.

Clearwater has Ricky Bottalico and not much else.

The Ft. Lauderdale Red Sox remind me how thin the Sox system was in the early-mid 90's.

El Paso features Mike Matheny, Jeff Cirillo, and Ben Oglivie as a coach.

Bluefield doesn't have anyone who jumps out, name-wise.

Listed:

1993 Fleer ProCards Cedar Rapids Kernels

Not much for names in this one...at some point I'll have to check if the "no name" teams fared any better or worse than the average team.

Looking at sets with possible grading candidates, came across this one:

1993 Fleer ProCards Vancouver Canadians

The card of interest here is Jim Edmonds, who I think will be in the Hall of Fame eventually. It looks good and goes into my growing "for PSA" pile for submission...some day.

This set is a pretty interesting one, though, even beyond the Edmonds.

The set includes Troy Percival, Eduardo Perez, and Garret Anderson. It also features Rod Correia, who graduated from the same high school I did a few years ahead of me.

I actually had another copy of the set, so listing on eBay as two card lots.

23 1993 Procards sets wraps us up for that year.

On to 1994!

First up is the 1994 Fleer ProCards Springfield Sultans.

Other than manager Ed Romero, no names here jump out at me.

Had one of the two-card lots sell, of Jim Walewander.

$1.99 sale with free shipping. After fees and shipping, that's a 90 cent profit, or enough to pay for the whole set, plus half of another.
