1994 R&N China Topps Baseball Forum

I've been working on the checklist for the 1993 set for 10+ years now, and in that time I have never seen anything to indicate that the entire 1994 set was issued in porcelain.  From everything I've seen, it was just certain teams (usually LCS or WS teams) and certain players.  At best, this should be a checklist of only the verified cards, not the entire 1994 Topps checklist.  I've been holding off adding the 1993 set as I've only verified 148 cards out of 825, so far.

Do you have a list of the verified cards in the 1994 set?

I guess I have to start one, now.

I don't know about the baseball releases, but I imagine that R&N China sold them in a similar fashion to what they did for the racing releases.  In the 1996 racing set, for example, R&N only offered a selection of the cards from the set they were reproducing, not the entire checklist.  Then, even that selection was only produced to order.  There was an order limit of 10,000 pieces and an order window of 30 days.  I believe that most of the examples in the racing set hit the end of the 30 days before reaching the 10,000 pieces ordered.  In 20 years of looking, there are still several items from the 'announced' list that I have never seen.  I suspect that some of those did not have enough ordered to warrant production.

I've started expanding the checklist from recent eBay listings.  The selection is really starting to feel semi-random.  Up to 32 cards, so far.
