There was a new entrant into the baseball card market in 1989. Upper Deck launched its set with the number one card being a rookie card of Ken Griffey Jr. Upper Deck stormed through card shows and shops because the card stock was so superior to any up to that date and the photography was wonderful. I recall a card of Gerald Young, a center fielder for Houston, with a picture of him making a fabulous catch against a blue wall. And the super high leg kick of Mark Langston was caught in a great shot.
The set also has the best rookie cards of several future Hall of Famers beside Griffey. There are rookie cards of Randy Johnson, Craig Biggio, John Smoltz, that are worthy of enshrinement, and Curt Schilling is making a case for himself as well.
