One of three games for Ron Darling as a Montreal Expo briefly in 1991, a VERY brief career stopover between 257 games with the Mets and 122 with the Oakland A's.
The only time Deion worn that version of the 49ers home uniform in his lone season with San Francisco
(SF had their regular style unis of the era for 3 of their first 4 games- Deion did not play against the Raiders/Chiefs, this was the 40-8 Philly game- and of course the 49ers petitioned the NFL to wear their throwbacks the rest of the season)
So this trading card is from the 1996-97 UDCC set? It looks very, very similar to their 1995-96 NBA set, of which I once bought a box.Yep 1996/97 Upper Deck Collectors Choice. Great set of cards.
To me, the three best hockey card sets ever- that one, and both 1992-93/1993-94 Score Canadian
First year of those Mavs' jerseys, last year of the 90s era Spurs uni
Also the only season the Mavericks in that jersey played in the Alamodome.
(Mavs had the new angry horse logo that year, Spurs' final year with the old 'Purple and blue in the logo' main logo.
David Robinson with the old 1980s Spurs uniform that he never wore for a game.
Also, note the old Spurs logo in the background, which was also overhauled by 1989-90.
If the Islanders had used this 1997-98 style uni originally in 1995 without the Gorton's Fisherman logo in the middle, it would have been very well received and lasted a few years longer.
First year of the post-Disney Ducks, last year of those Sens unis
(Not only was this a Cup Finals, but considering both teams did not play each other that regular season- this was when the NHL overemphasized divisional play- this was the only scenario where these jerseys would meet up at the same time)
Here's something kinda sorta in the same boat as the Kyrie post mentioned above:
What was supposed to be Blake Griffin's rookie season coincided with the last season of a different version of the Clippers uni:
He got hurt late in the preseason before the regular season started, missed the entire year, thus never playing an official game in that style of Clippers uni.
By the time he did make his official debut, the Clippers changed their uni to the version they wear today.
