I'm a big fan of this 1991 Jimmy Dean Signature Edition 25-card set that was the sausage maker's first foray into trading cards. As you can see from Ken Griffey Jr's No. 2 card, logos are airbrushed out of these unlicensed cards. Gary Sheffield's No. 7 card is a particularly great example.
The collection of players is pretty solid with the only obvious player that couldn't stand the test of time being the Yankees' Kevin Maas. As far as value goes, they are pretty worthless junk wax with the Griffey Jr. being the only thing of any value.
1991 was turning into the year of the yellow design alongside the hard to look at 1991 Fleer set but I prefer this one so much more as the red highlights limit the overall level of yellow required. I enjoy the Jimmy Dean logo front and center and you rarely get to see the MLB Players Association logo on the front of cards.
