The 1988-89 Score sets were beautiful as well. Full color photos on both sides. 1989 UD was just a better set, as it was also beautiful AND made with the best card stock at that time. And better times were just around the corner for UD. It's been a fun ride and I agree, Card Sharks is a must read for the background to the Big Lead story.
