1994 EXTRA BASES: THE WORST BASEBALL CARDS EVER #7 

Great looking cards. Lots of sheets and top loaders available to hold these cards. Just because they're different doesn't make them horrible

I so remember this set. I remember how the store actually thought they were candy bars. The lady said "you'll rot your teeth". I just smiled and nodded.

I love the Buhner. The photography on these is great though... I never saw these...ever! If I were around the ages of 7-12 and there was a way to sleeve and display my favorite players and teams on stands or something, I would love them

That Fryman is one of a handful of his Tigers cards I don't have.

Come to think of it I still have the complete sets of the basketball and football versions. Great times!

I enjoy that you do this series or worst cards ever and then you willingly spend money on a whole box of them haha

If you cut off about an inch, it will fit in a top loader

These would be nice to get signed. As a kid I didn't like oversized cards but you could find a box for them. I like the big pictures and a lot of action shots.

I have to revise my comment... OMG, I just watched this video on my 55" TV and seeing these great pictures on the cards on the big screen was amazing. I wish I can remember which 3 subset cards i needed to complete the set. I agree storing them sucked, but the cards are beautiful in my opinion!

It was so awful that even Beckett didn't even bother to post their set in their monthly magazine

Jabs? The trick to unstick the cards is to take them by the top and bottom and bend them -forward and backward as you have the stack in your hands. Now obviously don't mangle them but after awhile it's no biggie and you get the hang of it. Don't worry about ruining the cards --you won't if you do it properly. I've been collecting since 1977 and learned that by 1979. Another way is take the stack of cards and tap the edge of the table with the stack on a couple sides of the cards.

I've never seen or heard about these cards before. The disdain in which you open these packs was very entertaining. In general, I don't like cards that are not standard size for all the reasons you pointed out. But these cards are not eye sores and the Game Breakers cards are quite nice. The Don Mattingly GB was very nice.

I remember plastic sleeves don't fit

I have never seen these cards before, terrible, love the videos Erik

This set is nice, but impractical in '94. Today, just get on ebay...boom, weird supplies.

I agree this was not a smart idea! Thanks for sharing!

“Jerry has a great idea guys ... taller cards!” Jerry is now seeking employment outside of Fleer and came up with the concept of buying hot dog buns@12 per pack and then offering hot dogs in only an 8pk. Poor Jerry.

These were one of my favorites. I hate seeing them in the worst... beautiful pictures on the front and back. Fleer did thses to match up with NFL GameDay and NBA Jam Session cards. My first disappointment of this series... you've been spot on on the others!

I get it, as a baseball card collector these just don't fit it, but they look nice, would be really great for TTM or in person autos. Coming to Baseball Cards after collecting postcards for years, I really don't hate these.

As a hockey collector, Fleer Power Play, the NHL equivalent of Extra Bases, are equally awful. I've tried to collect 1 card of every NHL player and there are several players whose ONLY NHL card is in Fleer Power Play and it's infuriating.

That’s the nicest Bob Hamelin Card I’ve ever seen.

insert barf emoji 🤮

I never had these but i had some fleer basketball that was skinny and tall like this. If there were normal size cards, i think the design would actually be pretty nice for 1994.

It truly was the sounds of summer in 94

I think they're beautiful cards. They had a simple, clean design in an era of garish flamboyance. The focus is on the photography and the size suits that purpose. I'm not going to hate on Fleer for daring to be different. I can't help but contrast them to those Panini Prizm cards you just broke. The photography on those are a total afterthought. It's just a medium to slap on glitter and a serial number and stoke the greed of ebay flippers. Not to mention the airbrushed logos. What a joke.

Oh man, I forgot about these. I had a couple of packs worth of these and didn’t care for them. They looked fine but the size was just stupid. They would be nice to get signed with the nice and clean design but you just can’t store the dang thing.

I forgot about these

I don’t know how you aren’t getting annoyed having to peel all the glossy fleer/upper deck cards from the 90s... I would give up half way.

Love your videos

I don't think I've ever seen these. I kinda like odd stuff and oversized cards but it's weird there's a whole set of them

Every little boy loves peeling their cards apart.

I have collected cards since 1963 and have never seen this release. Other than the size, they are not too bad.

I recently saw binder sleeves with inserts this size on the shelf at a store. Are/were there other cards this size?

Goose Gosage is hated in Canada after he berated Joey Bats on the infamous bat flip.

At least with '89 Bowman and 1990 Topps Big, there was a precedent in their size with the mid 50s Topps and late vintage Bowman. I've never seen any other card in history the size of Extra Bases; reminds me of a physical ticket to a game (would've been a better concept than 'here's a larger card just because').

I wonder why Fleer went under

These are actually nice looking cards a shame they are over sized. As a kid I liked 89 Bowman and Topps Big but bought less of them then I other wise would cause of the size.

These cards were so annoying, they would stick out of the binder sleeves and get dinged and bent. great choice for one of the worst sets ever.

There is a certain amount of the US population that says "Reeses" differently. Just like the state of Oregon.

Fleer.....at it again. They destroyed baseball cards.

They are kind of the size of a baseball ticket. These would be fun to get signed and framed but that's about it.

ugh those cards are TERRIBLE...

23:57 Jim Thome, my hometown has someone to be proud of ❤❤

If these were normal size would they have made the list?

How can you even put these in a binder?

I've never seen these before, but the size of the cards makes these terrible. Not a fan of the mini cards either, but at least those fit in boxes and top loaders.

Did these stick when they were new?

interested in the mattingly...

I hope you have the 1991 Fleer in your list of worst cards. Ugly bright yellow cards.

Easily one of the worst. Zero question. And they didn’t fit the sleeves that were sold at the time. If you ended up with a card you wanted, you had no way to protect it. You had to put it in a sleeve, then slide another sleeve over the top.

Hey jab I love your videos and want to start collecting baseball cards never really did but I really wanna start collecting cause all I ever collected was hockey

They did hockey cards this size also, I hated them.

god there were some terrible cards in the 90's

surprised this made it out of the ideas department at fleer

Did i miss #7 on the list i cant find it?

Sup Erik. Fiance bought me a box of 89 upper deck for my birthday yesterday. Pulled 2 griffeys. Love your videos keep up the good work.

Fleer also released tall basketball cards named "Jam Session" in 1994 and 1995.

I seen those packs in one of those machine that sold old cards cheap I miss those machines and it was 50 cents

I kinda like the inserts

These cards are cool

Ian Kinsler has been extremely consistent throughout his career, it wouldn't be fair to write him off and lose total respect for him over an incident in which it's unclear what his intention was. To compare it to what McDowell did seems like a bit of a stretch.

I actually like the overall design of the cards in that set. The graphics are simple, not flashy at all. The size of them certainly makes it difficult for a collection in a binder using the sheets. Standard size cards are so much easier for transporting as well. On a side note: Freddie Freeman just hit a walk off solo home run in the bottom the 10th and the Atlanta Braves beat the Milwaukee Brewers for the second straight game. Braves won last night 12-8 and tonight's final was 4-3.

I'm guessing they made them look like a ticket to a ball game?? If not idk they are cringy bad.

Did #7 get skipped? Last I saw was 95 Fleer at #8.

These cards would be best used as bookmarks

What happened to 7? Number 8 was 1995 Fleer and that was the last one you uploaded.

Good lord, all that sticking together reminds me of the early Stadium Club Hockey cards back when I used to collect way back when

They actually do make soft sleeves, top loaders & binder pages..(6 a page) for these cards.. 1994 NHL Parkhurst tall boy Parkies were pretty big in Canada at that time.. As well as old vintage hockey, basketball, NFL & CFL.. Among others odd tall boy releases. Protection is out there :)

Are there Replacement player baseball cards?

Generation K those 3 mets pitchers

I believe all major sports cards had a set of this sized card. They were eye appealing to me but like you said a tough card to store. Thanks for sharing.

They're to glossy to sign

Never saw this set until looking at Trading Card Database site a few months ago. Do remember NHL Powerplay from the same year (the 'oddball' Fleer equivalent to that sport).

The WORST! Nothing to store them in. Always a hassle. Lol.

High gloss an issue. I’m cool with the size. I do have a box of NFL Gameday. Something different. It’s 1994, baseball is about to ruin itself for a few years, who cares about preserving an oversized card? It’s James MOO TAN Game Breaker Justice was 40-120 with a 3rd place MVP finish and as the card says he led all right fielders in putouts.

yeah odd sized cards usually don't pan out.

Pretty nice looking cards, but a terrible concept. These would be great for autos through the mail though. But you're right, what do yu do with them?

No never

hated this set....has no ryne sandberg

Is this the series where we'll find the Tripple Play, or are those so bad that they don't even count as Baseball Cards?

What happened to the Pirates videos 😟

I’m all for companies trying something fresh and/or different. While this didn’t catch on, I won’t blame them for at least giving it a shot. Meanwhile, one of my favorite sets in the last 28 years (hint, hint) has not fallen victim to the ‘worst list’ yet. Fingers crossed it won’t...we’ll see! 🤞

I thought I had every Rickey Henderson card prior to 1996, then this. Not surprised I didnt buy them though. My first thought would have been, "Those won't fit in my binder."

These cards kinda look like postcards😂😂😂

Fleer put out some awful cards

I was more into basketball cards in that era, and Fleer created Jam Session...the cards were the exact same size. What a horrendous idea.

These cards should be #1 on the list I can’t imagine it getting any worse then this

Topps made tall boy basketball and Parkhurst made tall boy hockey. I missed Extra Bases. No memory of them.

I actually really like those!

At least they don't put these in Fairfield boxes

Awful cards for sure !

That Tony Tarasco you passed may have been a rookie. Not sure when his debut was, but it was right there in 93, 94 range. And Javier Lopez was one of my favorites as the Braves began their ascent. Aside from the pitchers, there was Chipper, Andruw, Ryan Klesko, Javy, Grissom(Expos first), Justice, Gant, there were so many players I loved. As a kid Gerald Perry, Murphy, and Bob Horner were my ‘I need that card’ guys.

Don't throw those spacers away. Krystovar needs them 😆

Great for starting a nice bonfire.!!

Well you are one for four on what you call the worst sets that turn out to be sets I like. I like set number 10 1990 Donruss I hate set number 9 1990 Topps and traded as well. The borders were horrible. I hate set number 8 1995 Fleer. I am indifferent to set number 7 1994 Extra Bases. Tune in next video to see where it will fall in my like or hate column. I like the design but the size is terrible. So let us call it a push. Not hated but not loved.

These aren't that bad. Too big, but that alone isn't enough to warrant their inclusion, and nothing else does, either.

Good pick..i hate these..hope that box was free..lol

i actually collected the basketball card version i had to buy special pages for my collection album they would never stay in good shape because of the size

Awesome

I think they wanted to keep the larger custom presses running after the Gameday 1994 football cards and so they developed these baseball cards.
