This 115-card unlicensed standard-size set was distributed in eight-card packs with a suggested retail of $1.29. The set uses fanciful cartoon caricatures on its fronts to parody major league baseball players. The borderless cartoons are framed by a thin gold-colored line that terminates in gold-colored baseball icons, which set off the "player's" name at the bottom. The backs carry comical "career highlights" within silver-colored panels on the left sides and team logo caricatures on the right sides. Cards numbered 1-95 were drawn by sports artist Dayne Dudley. The checklist below contains the base set and two subsets called Politics in Baseball (S1-S11) and Field of Greed (FOG1-FOG9). Cards S1-S11 features cartoons by cartoonist Dave Simpson and carries his views of baseball in 1993. Cards FOG1-FOG9 belong to the subset Field of Greed which fitted together to form a nine-piece puzzle. Even though this set does not have a license, it is listed since the company won a suit that allows it to be released as a parody under first admendment rules. The complete set price includes the two subsets. [Collapse]
