Ultra

Fleer Ultra 1991 had a headshot and two action shots on the back. In many ways more compelling than the front. 

Fisk means business

Great shot of one intense dude.

Seaver in Boston

Tom spent the last half of '86 with the Red Sox; the end of his career. He did not pitch in '87 but Topps cut a card for him, just in case. 

Bo was the original Puig

Mattingly recently drew the comparison between Puig and Bo Jackson. I can definitely see it. Here's Bo in 1988 Topps. 

Swing and a miss

It's interesting to see cards that clearly show a player doing something negative. Even more interesting to see it with a 'star'. I'm sure there were better shots of Schmidt doing something besides missing a pitch. At least he was smiling! 

Need a third color

The Yankees and Reds (home uni's) are likely the exception, but for the most part you really need a third color to make your uniform pop. These Braves uniforms with just blue and white weren't getting it done. No wonder they started winning after they switched. 

On a side note I remember coveting these All Star rookie cards. Clearly they didn't always pan out.

Aim at the red of my glove

Since the Reds lost in uninspiring fashion last night, fans will continue to have to relish memories from the 1990 WS champion team. I believe Joe Oliver wore red catchers gear, so I'm not sure the red on the mitt would have been very effective. You don't see many mitts like this anymore.
