Barry Larkin Collection 985: 1995 Collector's Choice SE - #200 - Silver Signature

Barry Larkin

Year:  1995

Brand:  Collector's Choice SE

Card number:  200

Parallel set:  Silver Signature

Seeded one-per-pack, the 1995 Collector's Choice SE silver signature parallels mimic the base cards with the obvious addition of a faux foil signature on the card front.  The other big difference is the card border - base Collector's Choice SE cards have a blue border but the silver signature parallels have a nice silver border instead.  

I'm already on the record for loving the front image on this particular Barry Larkin card...and truthfully, I think I prefer the silver border look as opposed to the bright blue look of the regular base cards.  I also appreciate the fact that Upper Deck used different photos in this set as compared to its regular Collector's Choice brand from 1995.  If Upper Deck hadn't done that, then this set would be nothing but a waste of cardboard but since the photos are different I'm happy to consider this a second, equally valid Collector's Choice offering from 1995!
