Promos

Sealed in a cello pack, these ten or 11-card sets were issued to preview the new design of the 1994 Pinnacle baseball set. Both sides of the cards have "SAMPLE" stenciled across them. The ten-card set was the retail version whereas the 11-card set was for the hobby. The hobby and retail versions are only distinguishable after opening by "Hobby Edition" or "Retail Edition" printed on the title card and the inclusion of an eleventh card of Paul Molitor in the hobby samples set. Also a two-card sample strip consisting of Olerud and Alou cards was issued.
