Upper Deck Heroes of Baseball insert series part 2

The second half of the 10-card insert series I started showing yesterday. 

Card Number 408: Upper Deck Prospect Premieres Heroes of Baseball, 2002; #TG5

I always like cards that show Tony signing autographs!


Card Number 409: Upper Deck Prospect Premieres Heroes of Baseball, 2002; #TG6


Card Number 410: Upper Deck Prospect Premieres Heroes of Baseball, 2002; #TG7

(Sidebar - some of these photos have a background and some do not. There doesn't seem to be any guiding reason to why the cards either side of this one have the backgrounds left in and in this one it's been photoshopped out. It's a fielding photo. What could be in the background that they didn't want people to see?)


There's a good line there for my collection of ways Tony is described on the backs of baseball cards: "simply the best pure hitter of his generation."

Card Number 411: Upper Deck Prospect Premieres Heroes of Baseball, 2002; #TG8




That's a little factoid that I haven't seen represented before - 11 invitations in a row to play in the All-Star Game.

Card Number 412: Upper Deck Prospect Premieres Heroes of Baseball, 2002; #TG9
And a posed potrait photo to finish.


As I said after the first half of the set, this is a nice little series with some good photos and write ups. It fills a page in the binder and looks very attractive doing so.

Total: 412 cards
