This Special Edition Set came courtesy of the great Walter Iooss, and I think it's awesome. The crowd, Ricky's pose, the cheerleaders, the sky - everything comes together real nice. Definitely one of my favorite card images in my collection.

Just a Really Nice Looking Card - 1995 Upper Deck Special Edition #SE19 Ricky Watters
I was a big Ricky Watters fan growing up, mainly because I liked crappy teams as a kid and the Eagles fit that bill to a t in the mid to late 90's (pre-McNabb). Though this card doesn't feature Ricky in his pre-Eagle days, it's one card I've hung on to for a long time because it just looks so damn cool. Seriously, click on the image to enlarge it, because it's a great looking shot:

Yeah, that's nice and all, but I've got the 2010 Topps Chrome version of that. I scanned it for you and put it up here: http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s184/caljr3000/WattersSpecialEdition.jpg
ReplyDeleteWHAAAAT? Crazy man, I had no idea it was in 2010 Chrome!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah man, it wasn't easy to get, though--I only pulled three cards from that pack instead of four (and they were all the same) so I had to wait 6 months to get that from Topps. Crazy, huh?
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness, that's a sweet card alright, as is anything featuring a Iooss photo. This is the kind of base card that does deserve its own spotlight.
lolololol. I totally went to that link - niiiice. It would look sweet in Chrome though, maybe they should bring him back and let him have at it?
ReplyDeleteWhy not? Topps likes to re-use photos. Don't be ragging on my BGS 9 Watters card, though--it got a 9.5 in centering after there was a big story about it on Beckett.com.
ReplyDeleteHaha I did like the centering. I would've even said a 9 - and those corners are pristine!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card!
