It is one of my least favorite and the first sign that Topps won the bubble gum card war and was putting it in cruise control. It seems like 59 was a combination of 57 and 58 - the 58 backgrounds with a hole cut in it and pictures of the player coming through.
It also seems like it has less gloss than 57 or 59 - thus seems tougher for a card to really pop.
