Interesting 1997 'Hall or Nothing' Piazza Variation

[JollyElm]

I guess it's apropos to show this one today…

I don't collect modern cards, but back in the 90's I was actively collecting all sorts of things. One insert set that caught my eye at the time was the 'Hall or Nothing' cards, so I grabbed up a bunch of them. Then I got this Mike Piazza card with an entirely differently colored decorative border. I love variations and have never seen another one like it.

I sandwiched it between 2 cards with 'normal' borders to really highlight the difference. Pretty cool.

This one has a similar tone as well.

Cool find. I wonder if a 'dull' subset could be put together of the entire set.

Thus set is cool ! Nice variation by the way
