In 2009, Upper Deck released a mammoth card set celebrating their 20 years in the card industry. The 2,500 cards in the set covered baseball, NFL and college football, world events, US Presidents and other world leaders, basketball, ice hockey, space launches, golf, and more. This is the card set to collect if you want pictures of the Pope and cards about the constitutional right of all Americans to burn the American flag. (Yes, really!) It is an eclectic mix. Here's the checklist!
Upper Deck released five cards on each subject in a row, using the same photo on the cards. Tony actually has four runs of cards, twenty in all, in the set. Each run featured a different photo, but in the runs, they had the same photo. Which brings us on to today's 'twins'.
Card Number 345: Upper Deck 20th Anniversary, 2009; #1579
The next card in the set, and to date, the highest set number on a Tony Gwynn card I own.
I remember these, but had no idea that there were 5 cards with the same photo in each run of cards. I know I have some singles from this set, but not sure if I have any Gwynns.
ReplyDeleteIt's one of those sets that I can't decide I like it or not. Also I struggled to find it on TCDb because it's a "multi sport" set not a "baseball" set.
