1994 Flair baseball

The 1994 Flair set consisted of 450 cards, broken into two series of 250 and 200 cards.
It included inserts of 10 Wave of the Future, 10 Outfield Power and 10 Hot numbers in Series 1, 10 Hot Gloves and 10 Infield Power in Series 2.
The most distinctive feature of these cards was the brilliant cardboard packaging that I am surprised that they haven't re-introduced it in some form to deter pack searching.

The packs:

I really enjoyed opening these packs. Only 1 Red Sox card, but a few past Red Sox and soon to be Red Sox cards here.
The thick card stock and full bleed pictures make this an attractive and collectable set. I am still completely bowled over by the cardboard boxes each pack is contained in. What bought a halt to this special brand?
