Mike Schmidt 1989 Upper Deck Philadelphia Phillies Team Card
In my humble opinion, these Upper Deck Collector’s Choice team cards from Upper Deck’s early days were so much better than the Donruss Diamond Kings set that was a staple of Donruss’ 1980′s baseball cards sets.
And Upper Deck sure did select a great player to commemorate with their 1989 debut set!!
The 1989 UD set is the best set of the 80′s in terms of the quality of card. Great rookie selection, great pictures on the backs of the cards and great photography – the Nolan Ruan Astros card is awesome. Although the 1983 Topps set has a ton of HOFers and is a great design as well.
Matt- it’s very hard to find something unlike able about 89 Upper Deck.
No gum??
No gum but UD had some cool holographic stickers!
Matt- That is true. My older son really likes those stickers.
