1989 Fleer Glossy #395

Card Review: 8.2  Once again in 1989 Fleer decided to make the front of their glossy set, nearly indistinguishable from the base set.  The gloss is nearly impossible to see unless you tilt the card in the light.  At least in '89 Fleer had the decency to use a different color scheme on the back of the glossy cards, something that would have really helped their other glossy sets.  My scanner does not like the 1989 Fleer set, and insists on distorting it as much as possible.  I however really like the '89 Fleer set, but the Wallach happens to be one of my least favorite cards in the set.

1989 Fleer #395

Card Review: 8.9 This set was a solid effort by fleer.  While not the most exciting picture in the world, I'm always a fan of Montreal's red spring jersey.  I just wish Fleer had cropped this card a little better, moving Wallach more to the right so his throwing arm extended above the blue line the way his head does.  Some of the best cards from this set are the ones where the player is cropped out above that blue line, the Will Clark immediately comes to mind.
Fun Facts: *The Expos lost 1-0 to the Dodgers on August 23, 1989 in a 22 innings game.
*Wallach went 3 for 9 in the game
