Card Review: 9.1
This is the "vintage stock" variant of the base card, and the autographed version of the "vintage stock" variant. Still with me? Both are numbered to ten. I'm not a fan of autographs on cards, other than the ones I obtained in person as a kid, but this card stays the most true to the base card of the variants I've seen, and the base card is far and away the nicest of all the variations. If this card wasn't autographed and numbered on the back, it'd be really hard to tell the difference between this and the base card. The "vintage stock" gimmick is not super apparent to the naked eye or even to the touch. It's every bit as subtle as trying to identify a 1987 Fleer Glossy from a stack of ordinary 1987 Fleer, and I've missed a few of those over the years while sorting stacks of new Wallach cards.
In any event, I'm making some progress towards tracking all of these endless variations down, but I wouldn't lose any sleep if I end up missing a few.
Number of this card in my collection: 1
