Yes, I totally agree, the smile on his face is great. I just can't get over the orange though!

OsFan - I agree about the 69 Reggie too. With that one the colors in it just aren't strong enough.

Back in the early 90s I used to go to this outdoor flea market that was held on Sundays in the summer. There was this one dealer who put all his best cards for sale face up on the table. By the end of the summer all of his best cards were brutally sun faded and nobody bought from him anymore (yet for some reason he kept putting them out there in the sun every Sunday....)

A Reggie rookie card that is pack fresh looks like one of that guy's cards, the colors in the photo are so dull the card looks like its been left in the sun all summer.
