1990 Topps Big Baseball Series 1

Topps Big! Go Big or go home, you know? This was an odd little set, released in three series of 110 cards each. I believe 1990 was the last year that they were produced. They used full color backs, glossy fronts and an annoying, slightly larger than standard size. The designs were sort of a hybrid of '50s Topps horizontal designs and early '90s "flavor".

59 - Robin Yount (Yount's card was actually stuck to the plastic wrapper a little bit, so a few flecks of the card peeled off.)

99 - Tom Glavine (Glavine looks like he's 14 here. Wow!)

19 - Mark Grace (Cartoons on the back. Gotta love that.)

82 - Orel Hershiser (Orel Leonard Hershiser. You get their full names in huge letters on the back. Donruss was into that, too.)

54 - Daryl Boston

53 - Al Newman

23 - Bob Walk (Not too many teams have jersey numbers on their sleeves these days.)

61 - Mike Greenwell (The pride of the late '80s/early '90s Red Sox looks kind of creepy here.)
