In the grand scheme of things, a 90 item countdown isn't a huge deal. However, I have found this countdown to be a bit more work than I expected... Oh well, I'm nothing if not a survivor!
#27: Phil Niekro
So much blue!
#26: Ron Santo
I typed "Ron Santa" first by accident. I like that better.
#25: Rollie Fingers
A posed photo is nothing new for this set, but the background really makes this one worthy of the 25th spot in the countdown. First, you have a bunch of players walking (with hanging heads) off the field. There's also a few nice light towers in the background (which I like for some reason) plus a bunch of trees!
I told you this countdown was a bit arbitrary - my tastes are weird in cards!

Atlanta in Royals blue is weird!
ReplyDeleteThe Rollie Fingers even if is a posing card I agree with you, it's the bigger picture that makes it a great card for sure.
The Rollie picture is weird to me. What year is that from? Was the black and white a conscious decision by Upper Deck?
