In the clouds

Ah, the 90s. When photoshop changed everything.

Card Number 669: Fleer Diamond Tribute insert, 1994; #5

With ghostly baseballs and fluffy clouds, this 'tribute' card looks like an 'in memorium' piece of artwork.

The background on the cardback is a similar design, with a different photo (and a different uniform).

Even before Tony posted his modern day record bating average of .394, Fleer described him as "one of the game's all-time great hitters". This card was issued in the season when he achieved that record so this card was very prescient.
