1994 Church's Chicken

This one is deserving of it's own blog entry. I don't know anything about it other than it has a 1994 Pinnacle copyright on the back. It really doesn't do for me much as an advertisement to eat more fried food though....

9 Cecil Fielder

1994 Pinnacle

These look like Stadium Club cards. That's not meant to be complimentary and should not be taken as such. 

The 1994 Pinnacle Detroit Tigers:

10 Cecil Fielder

67 Mickey Tettleton

96 John Doherty

125 Chad Kreuter

154 Mike Henneman

183 Travis Fryman

212 Mike Moore

234 Danny Bautista

281 Lou Whitaker

330 Tony Phillips

359 Milt Cuyler

388 Eric Davis

414 Chris Gomez

429 Alan Trammell

433 Matt Brunson

453 Kirk Gibson

464 David Wells

491 Tim Belcher

I'm not usually a big fan of parallels, but Pinnacle knocked it out of the park with these. Very cool. They should have just made these the base cards and called it a day.

I've got a couple of inserts, but nothing to blog home about.

Power Surge

14 Travis Fryman

The Run Creators

11 Tony Phillips

There was also a Cecil Fielder card that looks just like his base card, but with big block letter printed across the front and back that reads "SAMPLE" 

All righty then....

1994 Score

I needed something to do this afternoon since I'm not getting to see my alma mater (Memphis) play their second round game against Maryland. Fortunately, judging by the scoreboard I'm not missing much.

I don't really have much here. These are ok. I guess for Score that's high praise. My favorite card is easily the Team Checklist. There is next to nobody in the stadium, yet the upper deck center field bleachers are packed. I'll admit that's the first time I've ever seen that many people out there without a huge cloud of smoke hovering right above......

There were some inserts too, including a parallel set that looked just like the regular set, but had gold foil borders. Hmmmm, I wonder where Topps stole that stupid idea from?

Gold Stars

40 Cecil Fielder

There was an update set of sorts that looks nothing like the base set.  These may rank among the worst cards I have ever seen.

Memphis wins by 19. Yay!
