1994 Flair

From BaseballCardPedia.com

Description

1994 Flair was a 450 card set produced by Fleer. Series One featured the first 250 cards while Series Two had the last 200. The design was similar to the previous year's set. Each card was printed on 24-point thick cardstock, with three additional points of UV gloss on each side; making it twice as thick as a traditional trading card.

The order forms for Series Two were due in mid-August, just after 1994 MLB Players' strike commenced. For years, it was thought that Series Two boxes were produced in much smaller quantities than Fleer originally intended. However, shortly after Alex Rodriguez was acquired by the New York Yankees in 2004, a large number of Series Two boxes mysteriously emerged onto the market.

The cards in the base set were grouped alphabetically by team within each league, with the AL preceding the NL. Notable rookie cards included Chan Ho Park and Alex Rodriguez. An Aaron Sele promo card was distributed to dealers and hobby media to preview the product.
