Vintage Logos are the Best Logos

It's been a number of days since I've dug into my box of 1992 Upper Deck.  Lately, I've found that I get much more enjoyment out of opening a box of cards if I spread out the pack ripping across many days.  That's probably due to the fact that A) I don't buy much new product to rip these days and B) the stuff that I do buy generally is base card driven rather than hit driven.  All that said, I am starting to get a bit anxious to sort the entire box and then marry it with my collection to see exactly how close I end up getting to the full 1992 UD set.  Still nine packs remain in the box waiting to be opened, let's do one-third of those now.

Pack 28:

There were two choices to scan in this pack, either the Astros hologram you see above or a Mike Mussina base card.  Mussina is a "local guy" so I actually have a small personal collection of him but that wasn't quite enough to eek out a scan over the always awesome (and now vintage) Astros logo.

Pack 29:

I think I've said this a few times throughout the process of ripping my box but I love, love, love the 1992 Upper Deck team checklists.  This Indians' one is even better than most - I love all the extra imagery in addition to Greg Swindell (sort of an odd choice for the Indians' poster child for the year but who am I to judge)?

Pack 30:

I found another hologram sticker in this pack (Blue Jays) but I went with a scan of Brian Downing looking...well....rather down in this photo (pun very much, painfully even intended).  You don't get a ton of images of dejected baseball players on cards, and while that's probably a good thing, seeing one every once in a while does add a bit of variety to a set.

That does it for today's post.  Only six more packs remain and then I can start the sorting process (which is kind of overwhelming given how many packs and cards are in a single box of 1992 Upper Deck)!

  1. The Old School Astros logo is wonderful. I miss the team stickers and holograms from the 80s and 90s.
