1995 Topps Embossed


There is something that shows was was wrong about the baseball card companies attempts to try 'something new'. That was the 1995 Topps Embossed set. Even the inclusion of a GOLD fail (sorry foil) card in each pack didn't ignite the collecting world. I was looking for cards that I had never opened and purchased 5 packs of these cards.
There are 140 cards in the base set.
There are gold and silver variations of the base cards.
There are a parallel set called Golden Idols, gold naturally.

#40 Andy Benes Padres
#41 Dean Palmer Rangers Gold Idol
#64 Mike Greenwell Red Sox
#88 Mark Whitten Cardinals
#108 Tim Salmon Angels Silver
#116 Ozzie Guillen White Sox Silver
