2002 Upper Deck Vintage: Roberto Alomar Jim Thome Auto Dual #/100

Isn’t this a cool card? You can’t go wrong with a card signed by both Jim Thome and Roberto Alomar. The 2002 Upper Deck Vintage set is still, I think, one of the most attractive modern sets ever. It was a “vintage” set, but because Upper Deck cannot just copy its old designs as Topps does with its Heritage releases, they had to come up with an original theme for the set. And they pulled off a clean, retro-inspired design. The only real problem is that cards are black-bordered, so they are condition sensitive. They are also tough to come across, with only 100 printed.
