I decided to
order the other two BYN Edgar Martinez cards from the seller in Puerto Rico,
these are from the 1989-90 Blanco Y Negro Update set. They are cards #48 for his All-Star appearance
and #56 league batting leader. He ended up the batting .424 in San Jose that season, batting 82 points higher than the #2 player in the league. That's Edgar just being Edgar.
Some how the printer was able to get a diamond cut along the top of the #48 card but square corners along the bottom of the card, that takes talent.

Never seen or heard of these cards before, but the art card is really nice.
ReplyDeleteThat last card is very reminiscent of the classic Diamond Kings subsets.
