Card Review: 5.5
I think the 1988 Topps All-Star design is one of the all-time great card designs. It's hard to mess it up. But one of the things that makes it so great are its vibrant colors. The yellow, blue, and red all pop off the card. I loved the design from the first time I pulled one from a pack back in 1988. So I'm not sure why anyone needs to see this card in sepia tones, other than to have another variation to stamp numbering on the back of for the modern collectors.
This card certainly understands the assignment, if the assignment was to crank out as many variations as possible. These are numbered to 50 (though there are another 50 with autograph stickers on them). I can't imagine the youtube case breakers getting very excited to pull one of these, at least not of the Wallach, I wasn't super excited when it arrived in the mail either. It just fed my irrational need that is the entire basis of this blog.
All my gripping aside, I'm always happy to add another new Wallach to my collection, and this qualifies.
Number of this card in my collection: 1
Yeah I love the bright yellow background paired with the red or blue diamonds/titles on the original 88T all-star cards. The sepia thing ruins thats. But glad you were able to add such a low #'d card to your Wallach PC.
