Here they are... two boxes of 1990 Upper Deck High Series Baseball. The easiest way to tell these high series boxes is the nice red "Find the Reggie" marking on the front.

Each box contains 36 packs. Each pack contains 15 cards. Of the 15 cards, two are from the high series (701-800) and the rest are from the low series (1-700). Odd but true.

THE BIG HITS: serial-numbered Reggie Jackson autographs
In the high series of its 1990 baseball product, Upper Deck inserted the first serial-numbered autographed cards in packs. Reggie Jackson was the featured player. He signed 2,500 samples of the last card in a special insert set dedicated to him. I have no idea what the odds of pulling one of these autographs are.
THE CONTENTS
No surprise, but I struck out on these boxes. No autographs, and, surprisingly, not even very many high series cards. At two per pack, that's 144 between the two boxes. I didn't even get a full set of the high series. Bummer.
Here are a couple high series cards.
745 - Dave Winfield |
774 - Gary Carter |
The Reggie Jackson insert set consists of nine cards. This is #9, and Reggie signed 2,500 of these.

CONCLUSION
I hate white borders. They're a pain to crop and insert into a post.
