Barry Larkin Collection 1,041: 1996 Collector's Choice - #520 - Silver Signature

Barry Larkin

Year:  1996

Brand:  Collector's Choice

Parallel:  Silver Signature

Card number:  520

Seeded one-per-pack, the Silver Signature parallels aren't exactly tough pulls...however, given that the 1996 Collector's Choice set is 790 card strong, getting the exact Silver Signature card you want can still be a tall task!  It took me quite a long time to track down this particular card, so long, in fact, that I showed off the regular base card of Larkin's from this set nearly a decade ago!

As for the card itself, this is a fun design that I think holds up remarkable well all these years later.  I loved the early/mid 90s Upper Deck sets because they often had photos that were just as good (sometimes even better) on the backside of each card.  It really gave you a reason to study every card in a pack!  Add to that, the '96 Collector's Choice set also included a baseball quiz on the card backs (along with career statistics) and you have a great set for collectors of all ages.
