The 1995 Conlon Collection set consists of 110 standard-size cards. This continuation of the Conlon Collection set was supposed to be released in two 110-card series (February and August respectively), but the second series (nor any sets after that) was never released because of the baseball strike. This was the first year that the Conlon Collection did not consist of 330 cards. The set continues to feature the work of noted sports photographer Charles Conlon. No more than 50,000 sets were printed, with a suggested retail price of $19.95 per series. As a special tribute to Conlon and the 100th Anniversary of Babe Ruth's birth, Megacards teamed with Topps to produce a 100th Birthday Card. The card was issued in two forms: a sepia-tone version for 1995 Topps regular series (number 3) and an color-enhanced version (number 3C) inserted in each 1995 Conlon complete set. On the fronts, each black-and-white photo has a gold foil inner border and a forest green outer border. Topical subsets featured are Veterans of World War I and II (1321-1350), '75 Champs (1354-1367), Great Stories (1371-1378), Nicknames (1382-1390), Behind the Scenes (1394-1400), Great Games (1404-1412), and Beating the Odds (1416-1429). Also groups of three "Generic" cards are scattered throughout the set (1351-1352, 1368-1370, 1379-1381, 1391-1393, 1401-1403, 1413-1415). [Collapse]
