Occassionally, the dilligent folks at Beckett and the Standard Catalog let a card release slip past their radar. Usually, these sets are pre-war and unknown to the card community until a sudden 'find' of them brings them to the attention of the card community. However, occassionally sometimes more recent sets escape notice. While certainly not as exciting as an unknown pre-war find, these sets should still be of interest to player and type collectors.
In 2003, Easton included a sealed pack of cards with each purchase of a child's model glove featuring the 'Easton Advisory Staff'- Sammy Sosa, Bobby Abreu, Mike Williams, Luis Gonzalez, Javy Lopez, Eddie Guardado, Eric Chavez, Vincente Padilla, John Olerud, Jeff Kent, Luis Castillo, Eric Gagne. With only 4 cards per pack and an average price tag of $19.99/glove, this set may be an extremely tough one to put together. The cards are glossy front and back and feature an attractive black border design. It should be relatively easy to find mint specimins as this set is not 'punched' like past glove card issues.
Here is a sample scan of the front, back, the pack it was included in, and another tag that came with the glove.
