1994 Select
Description
1994 Select was a 420-card set issued in two equal series of 210 cards each. The horizontal fronts featured a color player action photo and a team colored duo-tone player shot. There was one subset (Rookie Prospects) and Checklists in both Series One and Two base sets. Unlike the previous year's set, 1994 Select was Hobby-only and limited to 4950, 24-box cases per series with each individual wax box serial-numbered.
Distribution
24 packs per box, 12 cards per pack. Hobby only. 24 boxes per case. 4950 cases per series produced.
In an effort to target the adult collectors looking to purchase scarce product (i.e., scarce by 1994 standards), each Hobby box of '94 Select had a sticker seal informing the buyer the box number (xx of 24) from what case (xxxx of 4950). Given production numbers, the print run of each base card is known:
- Each base card had 81,463 copies
- Select Skills and Crown Contenders insert cards had 11,880 copies each
- Rookie Surge insert had 5940 copies
- Dave Winfield & Cal Ripken, Jr. Special Salute and Paul Molitor & Carlos Delgado Award Winner inserts had 3960 copies each

Award Winners
This two-card, Series Two set featured Paul Molitor and Carlos Delgado Select's picks for the "MVP" and "Rookie of the Year" Awards, respectively, for the 1994 season. Although Paul Molitor finished 2nd in the AL MVP voting for 1993, he finished 19th in the 1994 AL MVP balloting. After getting off to a hot start, Delgado spent the bulk of the '94 season in the minors and did not receive a single Rookie of the Year vote.
Unlike the Salute set which had the same design for the two players in the set, the Molitor and Delgado cards were designed differently - the Molitor card featured linear tilt shift design with a team-colored Dufex finish while the Delgado featured a blue and gold gradient Dufex finish.
- RY1 Carlos Delgado
- MVP1 Paul Molitor
