The first major design change for Upper Deck, but still top notch photography. Pretty nice base design, with the facsimile signature and the 'Upper Deck' nameplate seemingly hovering in the field behind the player. Plus a bevy of subsets (Star Rookies, Top Prospects, Peter Gammons' Inside the Numbers, Multi-Player Team Cards, Art Checklists) make this a killer junk era set.
The Reds have 29 cards in the monster 840 card checklist. Bill Doran turning two, Hal Morris snagging a foul ball from the stands, Joe Oliver's catching close-up, and Juan Samuel's painful slide are all very nice. Also, we have the 1,000th 'Red October' pun to be featured on a 90's card. Look out for a Bip sighting.
