SPecial Consideration (Tony Granato - 1995-96 SP #56)

1994-95 SP
Total Cards: 195


Another card from the very first SP set. (Not to be mistaken for the 1994-95 Upper Deck SP Insert Set within the main Upper Deck set... Let the confusion begin!)

I really like the front design of these cards... Simple and classy. Just thrilled that I finally got one of these things to scan properly (without rainbow glare coming off the gold foil).

(card back)

For some reason, I enjoy the back of the card even more. Large alternate snapshot, with a neat, appealing design. I even think teal, beige, brown and black color scheme works quite well.

Might be a good dose of nostalgia, but I love oldschool Upper Deck.

While I normally prefer to collect the flagship UD set, I think I'd prefer this SP set, as far as 1994-95 is concerned. (Actually had a chance to score a complete die-cut set. Still debating the decision, but I prefer rectangular cards)

As a set builder, only thing I dislike is the tiny card number (which could also be a bit more towards the top left). But I can understand keeping the card number small, not to take away from the beauty of this card design.
