1994 Collector's Choice #466 Gold Signature

Card Review: 7.5  Usually I like the gold variation of Collector's Choice cards best.  With this particular set though it's my least favorite of the three variations.  Unlike the regular base card, and the Silver Signature copy, this gold variation lacks the light brown pinstripes on the front.  I'm sure with a little effort they could have figured out a way to include them.  Their omission makes the card feel a little bland.

While this card is somewhat ordinary, it's acquisition is anything but.  This marks the last "regular" card I need on my "Most Wanted List" from Wallach's actual playing career.  There are some oddball items that are at best quasi cards and some modern serial numbered type stuff, but with the acquisition of this card, I feel the collection is more or less complete.  As far as unique cards go anyways.  I'm still a solid 8-12 million away from actually having them all.

1994 Collector's Choice #466 Silver Signature

Card Review: 8.2  I like the "Silver Signature" variation of '94 Collector's Choice a little bit better than the base card.  Upper Deck should have gone with a singature on all the cards and found some other way to do a variation (or not do variations at all)

1994 Collector's Choice #466

Card Review: 7.9  There's not a lot I can say about these Collector's Choice sets put out in the mid-90's.  For young collector's like me who liked putting together large sets and couldn't afford $3 packs, they were one of the only options.  I liked them back then, and while won't call them classics by any means now, I think they've aged relatively well.

This card features two of the more interesting Wallach photos to ever appear on cardboard. The back photograph would have made for a very interesting front.

Fun Facts: Wallach only wore #25 for one season, switching to #29 in 1994.  As 3rd base coach for the Dodgers in 2011, Wallach wore #26
