I just came across this card: 1994 Playoff #149 E.Green.

As far as I know there was never a big deal made about this card.....Was it because he wasn't as popular as R.Johnson?

I wonder how many other (less known players) cards have the same advertising going on, and no one had any "issues" with those.

Anyone have any others?

Some of the NASCAR cards in the mid/late 90s alternated between showing cigarette and tobacco companies and airbrushing them out. Here's Ken Schrader's 1998 Maxx car card: ...and here's his 1999: ------------------------------- * Ed * L8 * Cards in my personal Collection are unavailable *
