1993 Club Pro Set

1993 Club Pro Set

Updated On: September 13, 2016

Description: In 1993, two 9-card sets were printed.  Then, it must have become apparent that nine cards were not enough to cover some topics or that multiples of 9 were too many to fill. So the new standard of 15 cards per set was implemented.  These cards still used full-bleed photos, the Club Pro Set logos and colored bars on the front, and the Club Pro Set copyright information on the back.  Of course, the year was changed to 1993. 9 sets are known to exist.  I have confirmed many supplementary sets from the 1992 print run were ONLY printed in 1993.  They remain listed in the 1992 page with their counterparts.  The list below only features sets exclusively printed in 1993.

Note:  All sets are now verified to exist.  A big THANK YOU to Dan who had them in his collection!  It's a great day!!

Note:  All the sets with a number listed are confirmed to exist and are in my possession.  The ones with an 'E' listed are confirmed to exist by another collector.

New Variation**:  A fellow collector noticed something new!  It seems that during the silver set print run of Sky Thunder, the #6 card (A-6 Intruder) had its' photo changed!  #6 Gold and #6 Bronze use the same picture, so Silver is the variation.  All the other cards in the sets use identical photos.

Silver is the correct photo of the A-6.  There *should* be variations in all of them (G, S, & B)
Additional Information:  The beginning of a new year marks the mid-point of a school year for most educational institutions.  Since 28 confirmed sets** were produced in 1992, avid student collectors were likely playing catch-up to acquire those already available.  Thus, not many more were needed. This is most likely the reason that only 9 additional sets were printed in 1993.

**There are a total of 36 Club Pro Set sets!  The exact amount of sets needed for a 36 week school year!
