Description

1993 Ultra is a 650-card set released in two series of 300 and 350 cards. The extra 50 cards in Series Two were to accommodate the two expansion clubs (Rockies and Marlins) that joined the National League that season. The product is structured similarly to the previous year's product going as far as to recycle the base set design.

Distribution

36 packs per box, 15 cards per pack.

This 12-card vanity insert salutes one of baseball's greatest relief pitchers, Dennis Eckersley. Unlike the similar Tony Gwynn set from 1992 Ultra, Eckersley cards were issued in both series. Two additional cards (11 and 12) were available through a mail-in offer for ten 1993 Fleer or Ultra baseball wrappers plus $1.00 for postage and handling. The expiration for this offer was September 30, 1993.

As with Tony Gwynn the previous year, Fleer had Dennis Eckersley autograph 2000 cards for random insertion in both series packs. Like with Gwynn, he autographed all 10 cards in the series, but since the cards were not serial-numbered, it is unclear how many of each specific card were produced. Each card is embossed with a Fleer logo as proof of authenticity.
