Random Card of the Day

Year: 1991

Set: Upper Deck - Team Logo Holograms (Rate)

Card: #NNO New York Mets


“ I love holograms! Always have, always will. They don't usually scan very well but this one is not bad at all. I have two from this insert but not this one. Somebody wrote their name on the back of them though, but the hologram itself is fine, so I am happy. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Interesting and nice cotd. Good way to start a day. Looks nice when scanned but I have couple of these early UD Hologram cards from hockey and they just don't look good at hand. ” -Duke

“ Nice cards to display with lighting, not so in a binder. I used a select few - the first ones I pulled from packs - to stick on the inside of a binder where no light hits them. Regrettable. ” -Sportzcommish

“ Well they were better than gum that tasted like cardboard after 10 seconds and usually disintegrated into nothingness in the pack ” -rmpaq5

“ Ah hologram cards. When they first appeared in the early 80s as a novelty insert I loved them thought they were great, even though it is hard to see what is on them if you don't see them at the proper angle. Once holograms became more of a regular thing and foiled lettering on foil backgrounds became mainstream for the super overproduced years they lost their appeal on me. ” -captkirk42

“ I laughed when I saw this. First off, it's a non-premium insert, basically it's UD's gum like Fleer had stickers and Donruss had puzzle pieces. Second, I am actually trying to put together the full set of these to go in my 1991 UD set and I'm missing ONLY this one. One day... ” -vrooomed

“ Loved putting these stickers on my card binders. ” -carthage44

“ I really liked the 91 Upperdeck Holos. The football groundbreakers are still some of my favorite cards. ” -SFC Temple

“ Now we know for sure, RCOTD indeed is random. ” -dilemma19

“ No stats on the back ;| ” -dilemma19

“ Let's Go Mets! ” -armac

“ On the positive it's the NY Mets. On the negative it's a hologram. To paraphrase Will Rogers, "I've never met a hologram I liked." ” -C2Cigars

“ Slightly better than the hockey ones Yzerman , Hull ,Messier etc.... ” -uncaian

“ These were neat little inserts in the Upper Deck packs. I liked when they made these the same size as cards as opposed to the smaller circles or rounded edge squares from the prior years. The off-sized inserts were always annoying from a storage perspective. I'll never forget how cool the hologram stuff was when I was younger. Upper Deck did a great job as the 3D effect on these was really good. ” -muskie027

“ not much going on here, but i can say i've always like when teams are named with something to do with where they are, hence mets=metropolitans ” -Thunderfoot

“ Once I put a set together, I used to give these away to other friends/collectors/fans. Probably going to be a lot of haters for these, but these were far cooler in 1991 than the Fleer team stickers of the era. ” -hphillips

Ha!, these were forgotten and buried in my collection, UNTIL, I decided to collect all TEAM LOGOS produced, and thus another fine collecting venture. And as usual, I have "oodles" of these for anybody interested. TEAM LOGO collecting is cheap and alot of fun! ~BOB~

Difficult items to keep in good condition, as the surface got scuffed very easily. I used to either stick on my binders or use them as filler in my storage boxes. Good memories!
