Does anyone know the setting for this card? Looks like a construction site.

2008 UD First Edition Justin Maxwell

Tons of loose dirt behind him, guys in hard hats and reflective vests. Where is this?

Also looks like something other than than the Nats logo is on his hat. What is that?

-------------------------------

I'd be eternally grateful to anyone who can help me find a 1998 Bryan Braves (non-perforated) Kerry Ligtenberg and a 2000 Nabisco Albertson's Astros Chris Truby.

Must be from this: https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/justin-maxwell-of-the-washington-nationals-takes-batting-news-photo/76948465 I searched images for "justin maxwell nationals "construction"" based on jfcard's comment and it popped up. Cool card, I hadn't seen it before. Thanks for pointing it out.

Wow, great find on the original picture! That certainly puts it into context. I still can't figure out what the hat says though... ------------------------------- I'd be eternally grateful to anyone who can help me find a 1998 Bryan Braves (non-perforated) Kerry Ligtenberg and a 2000 Nabisco Albertson's Astros Chris Truby.

Are you sure that isn't the same "W" from the jersey poking out over the top of the sunglasses?

The hat I believe is just the regular Nats hat. His sunglasses are on his hat upside down Mungo Hungo wrote: Wow, great find on the original picture! That certainly puts it into context.

The thrill of the hunt.
