Cleveland Browns 1993 Fleer Football Cards
(Complete Set)



I believe that the 1993 Fleer set may be the best designed football base card set ever issued with the Bernie Kosar card being one of the best Browns base cards ever produced. The photography is outstanding, clean, crisp, and colorful. On the front of the card the last name of the player is printed with beautifully raised letters while allowing the background to show through. The standard Fleer logo with the year of the card's issue beside it is unobtrusively placed in the upper right corner while the team name and player's postition is in the lower right corner. The backs of the card have photos of the players against an opaque colored background and the card number printed on a raised rectangle. I love Bernie Kosar's relaxed photo on the back of his card as well as the beautifully photographed image of him on the front. The 1993 set also has some other interesting aspects. Some of the cards have a gray football on the front which give the player's current status with the Browns. Jerry Ball's card has the Detroit Lions team name on the front while the back has a Browns helmet logo on it and states that he was traded to the Browns. The cards of Mark Carrier and Vinny Testaverde show them in their Tampa Bay Buccaneers uniform with the information that they had been traded to the Browns printed on the front of their cards. There are no rookie cards in the Browns set. In the 1990s Shell and other companies teamed up with Fleer to promote educational encouragement to young kids. They created a parallel set of football cards called FACT which stands for "Football & Academics: A Championship Team". The fronts of the cards were the same as the regular set of Fleer cards but the backs of these cards had the Shell logo on it and would ask a question related to sports, cultural, or general knowledge. The three-card Browns FACT set included Eric Metcalf, Tommy Vardell, and Bernie Kosar seen below.
