APBA cards - How do you tell what year they are????

[teamsets4u.com]

I am looking for some help with APBA cards.
How do you tell what year they are.
I have a number of sets and I was able to match them up to some roster sheers I haave but I have a chance to buy a large lot of unorganized cards and I need to have some why to sort them if I deside to cut a deal for them.

Any help would be great.
Also is there a site out thier that has checklist

I don't think you can w/o referencing then against known sets. Someone who plays may be able to tell though, based on the numbers on the card.

I can help you ID most Dodger sets & a few Padre sets by the Garvey cards, but from there I can't be of much more help. I still need a couple years myself.

I do not understand.
The cards are unnumbered.

I dont know much about them but recently picked up a new box set. On the box it says 1993 in tiny print, on one side of the cards it says 1993 but has a copy right of 1995 on them too. Im guessing they are 1995's? I just wanted the maddux & CJ so im trying to trade away the rest if anyone is interested.

I think he meant by the stats, not card numbers.

They also reprint sets when they sell out, so does anyone know of a way to tell the difference between originals and reprints?

Reprint versions, that might explain why i have two versions of one card.

1995 APBA Pro Baseball Board Game TM of MMI

Yes, some are even in their second reprint.

You can still order lots of the sets directly from the company.

you can tell the year but where the red #12 is after the black number.

They are a pain in the A** to identify the year. I collect Dave Winfield cards and it has been way to big of an effort to distinguish years prior to 1985. They started printing the date on them in 1985.
