Earlier today, I talked about how I acquired the box of 1997 Fleer Sports Illustrated so make sure you check that post out first. Of course, I could summarize thusly: "I love my wife."
Here are the next pair of packs from the box:
Pack 2:
5. Jason Dickson - Fresh Faces
26. Todd Walker - Fresh Faces
119. Tony Gwynn
164. Jim Edmonds
172. Ken Griffey Jr. - Covers
And the mini poster:
Deion Sanders
Although I was happy to pull the Deion Sanders poster, I was hoping that there would be a Barry Larkin poster in the set instead. Given that there are only 25 different "Great Shots" which is what the mini posters are called, I doubt two Reds made the cut (especially given the fact that the set was made in 1997). However, it's only pack two so I guess we might find out if I'm wrong!
Pack 3:
18. Kevin Orie - Fresh Faces
67. Manny Ramirez - S.I.ber Vision
79. Kevin Brown
112. Mike Piazza
Mini Poster:
Frank Thomas
And the sixth card in the pack? The checklist.
It's lame that the checklist is made out of paper (like the mini folder) and yet it counts as a card in the set. On the other hand, I now know for sure that there is NOT a Barry Larkin mini poster...

Andy Ashby is one of the mini-posters? You could have given me 1,000 guesses and I never would have picked him. It's also odd that the Rockies poster is the only one with two players.
ReplyDeleteStill an interesting set though. I hadn't seen this before, but I like the 1998 set.
