My Take: Got this set through the mail by redeeming two box tops of Raisin Bran. Cards are nice and logoless, so the future doesn't look too bleak for UD. Curiously, no Expos were represented in the set. You can claim the entire set, or break it if you choose. Note that if it is broken, I am going to claim the Tony Gwynn for myself! :-)
Traded to Captain Canuck!

My Take: I received these cards on our annual road trip from California to Indiana and back in the Summer of '92. My parents obliged my obsession with baseball cards, and stopped for lunch 6 times at Denny's, where of course I had to order a Grand Slam. These cards were picked up in: Kingman, AZ; Gallup, NM; Tucamcari, NM; Amarillo, TX; Miami, OK; and Rolla, MO.

My Take: Horray, it's over! Nice use of team logos, but no player name on front of card save for the scribbled signatures in illegible gold. If it had the player name on the front, these cards wouldn't be that bad...maybe.

My Take: Zzzz (One less z than 1991 Studio) - At least there is color on these and an action shot of the player in the background, instead of a drab matte painting, however that said action shot appears to have been taken by Zapruder in pixelated sepia. The horror is almost over my friends.

My Take: Zzzzz... I know, I know. Olan Mills, I mean Studio, but I had to start somewhere and these were on hand. 92 and 93 Studio should be up soon. There will be some awful lots coming up, but you never know what people need! It won't always be bad, I have doubles from the mid-60s until the early 2000s.
