Year: 1989
Manufacturer: Topps
Set: Leaders Minis
Card Number: 59
Card Type: Base
My other barn find from my Topps National Baseball Card Day super shoebox pick up was this 1989 Topps Leaders mini card. As a matter of fact there were two Younts and the other 2 Brewers to make a complete team set. After flipping through all the Mini Leaders cards there was almost a complete set. It really surprised me I didn't already have a copy of this card. But I'm glad I serendipitously found a couple copies without having to hit the internet. If you're unfamiliar with the set these cards came 7 per pack, only 77 cards in the set. They were touted as super glossy,which they are compared to the 89 flagship set, and quite a bit smaller, hense the hobby designation of mini. Topps untilized the base 89 team name and player name banner, throws in a fuzzy edge border and bam, new set.
In my opinion the backs are the best part of the card. There's so much going on back there. Plus you get a second photos, last year's and career total stats, and some fun facts. And it's bright.
