the first upper deck airbrushed card (and one other thing i learned by reading 'card sharks')

i never really thought about why a minor leaguer in san bernardino would be wearing a seattle mariners hat, but i certainly didn't think it was airbrushed. now i know better, thanks to "card sharks". at least upper deck had the foresight/fortune to pick junior as their cover boy so to speak.

another thing i enjoyed reading in the book was this little nugget on page 60: “you sound like a broken record sometimes, but our guide is just that – a guide", [dr. james] beckett said. "ultimately, a card is only worth what someone will pay for it." amen.

in other news, i have added my want list for 1989 upper deck. i figure i might as well add another set to my 'to do' list. don't worry - i already have junior. let me know if you can help me out!
