Another Fleer card today. A foil Fleer card. So you know what that means... double scanning!
Card Number 670: Fleer Ultra Fall Classics insert, 1998; #13
This actually scanned reasonably well on the flatbed scanner.
But it pops a bit more on the overhead scan. I like the effect. Tony is haloed in light in front of a giant blue-tinged cosmic egg.
The back is about Tony's post-season appearances in 1984 and 1996.
Total cards: 670
Kind of a bummer that the Padres never found a way to win a title while Gwynn was around. Sure hope they are able to do it with this current team. If they ever do... it'd be cool to see them give the Gwynn family a ring for being loyal to the franchise and being Mr. Padre.
ReplyDeleteI think to get there some of their big names need to learn to hit as well as Tony.
