The front of these cards contain a large color photograph of the player that blends into the top of the panel where the player's team name can be found. The bottom of the card contains a box with the players' names and positions. The backs were printed in orange on a white background, which makes them hard to read. There are more centering problems on the card backs than any other set, and the orange borders are easily chipped. The backs also contain typical statistics and biographical information, as well as a cartoon quiz that requires rubbing of a white panel to reveal the answer.To prevent purchasing a false piece of history, always get a professionally graded card from a recognized provider. In the future, graded cards will be significantly more valuable.
