Random Wax: 1990 Upper Deck Baseball

1990 UD:   Joe Carter had a smile on his face much of the time.  This is a really good photo of him.  A 5X All-Star and 2X Silver Slugger he went on to win two World Series championships with the Toronto Blue Jays.  One on his famous walk off home run.  That Toronto lineup really was stacked.
Just an amazing set from Upper Deck.  My first time buying any since 2018.  In 1990, Greg Maddux would lead the league in hits allowed.  He still won 15 games and had a 3.46 ERA while winning a Golden Glove award and is showing off his skills here.
The backs are really nice.  Colorful with a new photo.  Not all of a player's career stats but enough to be forgiven for the error.  Carter of cours had power but also had some wheels early in his career.  
Some backstop love.
Mark Grace coming off an excellent 1989 season.
These team holograms were maybe 1/3 the size of a regular card.  Pretty cool looking and they scan great.
Some nice photos to end it as well as a Team Checklist.  I love the art on those across the Upper Deck sets.
