Upper Deck burst on to the scene in 1989 and immediately became the gold standard for baseball cards of the era. One year later, however, and Upper Deck was just another pile of junk wax.
455 - Greg Briley
408 - Joe Boever (How do you pronounce his name? Bo-ever? Beaver? By-ver?)
364 - Alvis Davis (Really sweaty closeup.)
343 - Ellis Burks (I wonder if even a quarter of the people who own Big Papi jerseys know about guys like Mike Greenwell and Ellis Burks.)
559 - Ken Howell
525 - Melido Perez
275 - Mike Moore (Generic name / 19-game winner / World Champion)
272 - Dave Stewart (The La Russa/Duncan-era A's rotation was really, really good.)
- AHHHH WHITE SOX
122 - Ken Caminiti (Sad story.)
135 - Mark Carreon
611 - Jeff Wetherby (Wow. Wetherby appeared in all of 52 games in his career, all in 1989, averaging less than one at-bat per game played. He hit one home run in his MLB career - off of Greg Maddux.)
650 - Charlie O'Brien
39 - Scott Sanderson
19 - Jack Howell
637 - Trevor Wilson (Yes, they had them even in 1989.)The Hall of Shame checkbox is just below and to the right.
