Size of Cards

Basic Features

I always liked collecting Bazooka baseball cards, and this set doesn't disappoint. There are mostly action shots on the front, along with the name of the player and team logo on the bottom. The reveres of the card have the usual bio and stats, including a short blurb. There is a section called Bazooka Blast Stats of the Year. There is lots of great information contained there.

Twenty cards in the collection included a colored Bazooka logo along with a facsimile signature of the featured player. The player's standard and unique logo cards were produced in equal quantities.
