Card Biography
For any kid collecting baseball cards in 1989, this was THE chase card. Upper Deck was the new card on the block and they came out swinging. The full color fronts and backs, the holograms, and this card, a rookie as the #1 card in the set, made them instant legends in the hobby. The $1.00 per pack price tag was double all other competitors and still they sold as everyone wanted to get ahold of this icon. It is PSA's #1 graded card and still a steady seller in the hobby.
