1995 Leaf Florida Marlins Team Set
I’m not sure when and how the people at Donruss decided what years they would release Leaf baseball cards and what years that they would skip them, but I am very happy to see that they were issuing cards in the mid-1990s.
This is when I took a hiatus from collecting, so I am still getting caught up on how the huge number of baseball card brands and sets that were issued during that time.
I had this Andre Dawson card in my collection from this 1995 Leaf set for some time, but besides that, I had never really seen these cards before.
And I have to say, the 1995 Leaf set is really, really nice to look at.
See for yourself:
The cards feature full-sized photos with great,bright colors. It looks like most of the photos were taken from day games which helps with the natural lighting. I also really like the small cameo used in the upper-left corner; anytime I see a shot like this, I always go right back to the 1983 Topps classic set!
Great work by Donruss/Leaf on this one!!
It’s weird to think that the Marlins have been around for so long. It’s even weirder thinking that 1995, the year that I graduated high school, is now something I would consider long ago.
Topher- I know exactly how you feel. I am Class of 1994, and am reminded daily if how long ago that was…
Ughhhhh….
