“ I always like Upper Deck base sets for the most part. I remember seeing these when they first came out and I thought "Wow, Topps is in for it now." I am certain if Upper Deck still had a baseball license I would be buying more baseball than I do at present. ” -Gunny

“ Ahh the good old days where you could have a great photo on the front, and a DIFFERENT photo on the back. Upper Deck's initial design still stands up as one of the best after all these years. ” -rmpaq5

“ Ah the Premiere of Upper Deck. Historic. Excellent action photo on front. The backs I have always hated the vertical stats chart and the large back photo being dominant. ” -captkirk42

“ I'm trying to figure out what is going through MacFarlane's head on the front of this card. If that is concentration--awesome! If that is being amazed that he caught it--less awesome, but I appreciate the honesty. Either way, nice time to snap a photo. Glad they used it on the card. ” -kents_stuff

A classic set indeed!  Thick white stock, and an anti-counterfeiting hologram.  This was one of the last seasons KC wore the Powder Blue uniforms as their official road uniforms.

I love that the '89 set shows the runner's path to 1st base, the '90 set has the path to 2nd base at the top, and the '91 set shows the 3rd base line to home plate.

A great looking card. Better than most of ones they've produced recently!

Fell in love with this set when it came out.  It ushered in the era of the "premium" card.  I still love this set.
