All About the Base - 1990 Topps

Year: 1990

Manufacturer: Topps

Set: Flagship

Card Number: 290

Card Type: Base

Just got back from a two week trip to Wisconsin.  Got to see the Brewers lose to the Cubs in Milwaukee and got to eat a lot of fried food.  But I'm back and we are close to the end of this round of All About the Base.  

1990's Topps is one of my all time favorite sets.  Sure it's smack dab in the middle of the Junk Wax Era, but man compare it to the other 1990 offerings this set stood out.  Hell this set would stand out in almost any era.  On top of that we get a great photo of Robin with a huge cheese eating grin relaxing at the ball field.  And in 1990 Robin had a lot to smile about.  He'd just won his second MVP award the previous year and while his 89 season wasn't his best it was still damn good for the elder statesman.

Now there's no room on the back of his Topps cards for anything other than career stats.
