I recently began adding inserts like these to my collection:
I had already been collecting these as part of my All-Star sets:
I also collect the Diamond Kings and Triple Play cards that are similar. Do any of you know of any other products that I'm missing along the same vein?

Fleer had All-Star Sets for years.
Topps as part of their base sets dating back.
Topps Commerative All-Star sets
Misc Oddball sets.
And as those mentioned in your post...***PHEW***.....Do I have plenty of them!

Are the images visible? The emphasis is caricatures of baseball players. Have I missed some with Topps and Fleer?

Fleer ProVisions cards would probably fit the bill. Topps Kids?

Ah, yes, I do have the ProVisions. Not sure of the Topps Kids. I'll check. Thanks. (Edited to add info) I have all the Topps Kids for my PC. Maybe eventually I'll go after the set, but for now I'm limiting my collection to smaller sets and inserts.
I checked Upper Deck's Team Cards and they stopped with the caricatures in '93 and didn't see any others.

Sorry, Didn't realize that caricatures were the theme. How about Fleer Stickers w/ the All-Star backs? How about UD Hockey? just like baseball.

1995 Collectors Choice had a few within the base set. I know I have a Juan Gonzalez with a big head. If you don't see them, check 1994. But I think its 95.
-------------------------------
I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster. |

Thanks guys!
Mark, I've got one of the '83 Donruss and maybe more. When I get home I'll have to look. I like those much like the Diamond Kings Donruss put out.
David, it was '94 and I do collect those. I forget about Collector's Choice often when naming card companies.
Bob, I'm looking online for those Fleer stickers you mention. If it's like the ones behind the logos with trivia, then I'll have to look for those.

I think that in the years Leaf mimicked Donruss, there may have been some extra Diamond Kings for the Canadian teams. Maybe someone up north can back me up on that.
