Barry Larkin Collection 980: 1994 Upper Deck - #269 - Electric Diamond

Barry Larkin

Year:  1994

Brand:  Upper Deck

Parallel set:  Electric Diamond

Card number:  269

The 1994 Upper Deck set had a full parallel known as Electric Diamond.  The Electric Diamond cards were seeded one-per-pack and are easily differentiated from the regular 1994 Upper Deck base cards thanks to the "Electric Diamond" notation on the front of the card (and the use of the sparkly foil).  However, for the Home Field Advantage subset (of which this particular Larkin card belongs), the Electric Diamond parallel is definitely lacking - basically you get a bit of foil text saying the card is a parallel and that's it.  Not one of the better parallel ideas (or executions) that I've seen.  Still, as always, glad to have another different Barry Larkin card in my collection, even if it isn't a favorite parallel set design of mine!
