	1994 Leaf was a 440-card set released in two series of 220 cards. To account for team uniform and logo changes that year, players from the Texas Rangers, Cleveland Indians, Milwaukee Brewers, and Houston Astros were held out of Series 1. A limited number of players from the San Francisco Giants were featured in Series 1 because of minor modifications to the team's uniforms. As with the [[1993 Leaf\|previous year's set]], the base set features full-bleed photography with marbleized borders, a glossy coating, and a holographic foil team logo on the reverse.		1994 Leaf was a 440-card set released in two series of 220 cards.
