something something something first base line, something something something complete

yes, i have completed my 1989 upper deck set. 20 years in the making. actually, not that many as i did not collect cards from 1988 through 1990. i started with about 75% of the set with most of my needs coming from the update set. i had junior, but was missing a few semi-stars as well as commons. let's take a look at a sampling of cards from the set.

since i got some help from scott at hand collated, let's start with a red - eric davis.
a future dodger, just like his boyhood pal, darryl strawberry.

tom is apparently shaking hands with the queen of england. not a very manly grip.

nando! at dodger stadium in a shiny blue warmup top and headband

stunt man! he missed out on the twinkies 87 championship but got one of his own the following year.

tim belcher

he could take a lesson in exhalology from bob milacki

who apparently likes to sing while he pitches.

one nice thing about upper deck being a so-cal company is lot's of dodger stadium photos:

overall it's not a bad set, but probably the only non-topps set i will bother with from that era. i have some doubles, so if you are trying to put it together, or just have specific player or team needs, let me know.
