This was a test issue from 1993 and the cards were actually classified as bookmarks. There's 120 cards in the set and the box I got had 48 packs of 10 cards. If you want an idea of what these cards are like, go here...

The hit was a single card in it's own separate pack. It was a awesome fleer provision type artwork card of Ken Griffey Jr. There are 8 different players in the artwork set and given how they're seeded one per box, it's a tough set to complete.
Pros: It's a Barry Colla set so you can expect a nice design and cool photography. Plus, how can you go wrong with provision type artwork?
Cons: Believe it or not, I was 2 cards from a complete set. And yet somehow I ended up with 11 cards of one player! I was expecting to make 2-3 sets. I couldn't even make one. Also, the cards aren't numbered on the back, so it's hard to organize.
Overall: A mixed bag due to the randomness of the base cards. Also the artwork card you end up with is a gamble. You can end up with Griffey, Frank Thomas, or Nolan Ryan if you're lucky and Dave Justice or John Olerud if you're not. Recommended if you can find a box for under $20.
