Folder of Fun: Page 23

The Folder of Fun, as I like to call it, has been in the works for about three years. That's about the time I stopped buying retail and hobby packs and began tracking down cards which fit a certain general description: FUN.  Here's a link to the first post in this series if you'd like to go back and catch up. 

Page 23, which is chocked full of multi-exposure cards, is my favorite page in the Folder of Fun. Think about that for a second.  . . . Cards only gain admittance to the folder if they check the right boxes. Yep, I hold these in pretty high regard. 

1994 Fleer Ultra, #1 of 5 - Randy Johnson (Strikeout King)

I think you'll notice a theme that most of the players who were given the "multi-exposure treatment" are star players.
For the record, all five cards in this subset are multi-exposure cards, but I only have this card of the Big Unit.

1989 Upper Deck, #755 - Jim Abbott

1989 Upper Deck was so cutting edge. This card came from the high series and (in my opinion) there's a better one in the low series which you'll see in a minute.

1994 Topps Stadium Club, #218 - Kirt Manwaring

Kirt Manwaring is not a star, but if you read Dime Boxes you know Manwaring has been gifted with some fantastic cardboard over the years.  +1 for the Steve Buechele cameo.

1991 Upper Deck, #444 - Rickey Henderson

Doesn't the multi-exposure make Rickey look faster? I think it does.

1993 Upper Deck SP, #7 - Kirby Puckett

This is a great card summing up the action of a smooth play in the outfield.

1994 Topps, #300 - Ryne Sandberg

My guy, Ryno, turning two!

1994 Topps, #132 - Bret Barberie

Again, Bret Barberie never became a household name, but it doesn't get much better than him turning two here with Jeff Bagwell bearing down on him.

1993 Topps Stadium Club, #2 of 2 - Charlie Hough (Florida Marlins Firsts)

The knuckle ball!

1996 Upper Deck Collector's Choice, #180 - Hideo Nomo

It's not often you get to see the front AND back of a player's jersey on the same side of a card.

Once again, I had several more cards which fit the mold, but not a full page. 

Bonus content for you!

1989 Upper Deck, #145 - Nolan Ryan

I think this is my favorite card from the first Upper Deck release. And, yes, that included the Griffey rookie.

1990 Upper Deck, #555 - Wade Boggs

Wade Boggs' head was always so still throughout his entire swing.

1991 Upper Deck, #175 - Fernando Valenzuela

Fernando!

1992 Upper Deck, #728 - Eddie Murray

This one makes me think of the Record Breaker subset card Murray had in 1988 Topps. That one was not a multi-exposure card, but it did have a picture of him swinging from the left and right side of the plate.

1993 Upper Deck, #222 - Gary Sheffield

I wish there was another picture to add to this card. I suppose this more of a "dual-exposure" than a multi-exposure card.

1992 Upper Deck, #SP3 - Deion Sanders

Neon Deion doing Neon Deion things. 

A couple quick questions to wrap things up: Has there ever been a larger multi-exposure set to your knowledge? If one was made today would you have any interest in collecting it?  I think you know my answer.

Have a great evening and thanks for reading.
