Given that one of the major allures to Upper Deck's arrival in the card business was crisp photography and color pictures on sides of cards, it is probably a bit ironic that many of my favorite cards from the company's time on the scene were the handful of illustrated cards that came in most of UD's early sets. I used to have most of the 1992 team checklists - which remain my favorite design due to incorporating aspects of each team's home park/city - but like most cards from that time, they have been discarded.
My "aim" is to acquire/reacquire all of the illustrated cards from Upper Deck/Collector's Choice baseball sets from 1989-94, which are listed below in terms of what I have and need. I also have a handful of team checklists and other illustrated cards from UD's other sports entries and actively collect them, too, although they are a secondary pursuit. All of those cards are listed at the bottom as "haves" and I am definitely interested in any that are not listed.
