Curious, was the T202 Hassan the first card to use the picture? Here is the one I'm talking about (not mine!):

It isn't mine, but I'd have to say that is the best card in the set ... to me at least. I'm in love with the pic and the book ends aren't so bad, either! :)

That really is a great card (even when in lower but nice condition).
