As with the previous year's set, this 20-card standard-size set was produced by SkyBox. Beginning on December 6, one card per week was inserted in loaves of Franz and Williams Premium White and 100 Percent Wheat Bread. Based in Portland, United States Bakery owns both Franz and Williams. In 1993, the Oregon territory was divided into two regions, with Franz supplying the northern half of the state and Williams (which is based in Eugene) the southern half. As a result of this extended distribution, the production run was increased to 250,000 of each card. The fronts display color action player photos inside a silver frame with a black outer border. The horizontal backs carry a color head shot, biography, statistics, and career summary. Also this is the first year that the set includes Trail Blazers Walk of Fame Charter Member cards, which honor past players and other important individuals; these cards sport black-and-white portraits by S. Katagiri. [Collapse]
