Completely Red: 1993 Ted Williams

Quick one today. There were so many cards in the early 90's that even retired baseball players were releasing sets. Ted Williams Co. produced a couple of decent releases that didn't catch on very well, if I recall correctly, but were pretty nice. Teddy Ballgame was allegedly involved in player selection, but who knows if that's true. I bet his selections just happened to coincide with licensing rights, a stroke of kismet indeed. It doesn't really take a statistical wizard to choose Bench, Morgan, and Foster for a set, though.

STATS:

Cards - 3

All Stars - 3

Hall of Famers - 2 (Bench, Morgan)

Reds Hall of Famers - 3


Checklist:

 28 Johnny Bench 
 29 George Foster 
 30 Joe Morgan 

Go Reds.

  1. I've always loved the design of the Ted Williams sets - they look so much better, artistic even, than the haphazard and "throw everything at it" sort of layouts we saw in the 90's.

  2. I was a big fan of this set. I bought enough packs back then to put the set together and have plenty of extras. I even got that George Foster card signed a few years after its release.
