Year: 1996

Set: Collector's Choice - Silver Signature (Rate)

Card: #261 Freddy Garcia


“ I always liked Collector's Choice (baseball and hockey) nice lower end product. Plus this one is a Bucco, HOORAY! ” -Gunny

“ I'll say it again, I hate names sideways on cards. Yeah I'm looking at you 2020 Topps. ” -CardFlipper1974

“ My second-favorite Collector's Choice set (the seminal release was tops, IMO). Adding the foil signature to their colored parallels was a nice move by UD -- and something wish Topps would've adopted at some point. ” -mkaz80

“ This is a beautiful card, front and back . . . That was the first thought I had upon seeing it . . . ” -georgecf

“ Nice parallel. Like that you can actually tell at a quick glance that is is the silver version. You don't have to look for the foil lettering to see it it is a different shade of silver, or the small UD logo is chrome/not chrome. ” -captkirk42

“ I really like that photo of the players in the dugout, displayed on the back of this card. A good looking card overall, imo. ” -CollectingAfterDeath

I love this set. I am collecting it. Not the signature on the card version but the regular base version. 

I have always hated the fake signatures on cards versions for any set and/or year.

I bought I think it was 1995 collectors choice factory sealed brand new set and one of the five gold signature cards was nolan ryan.

I still have them.

I thought Freddy Garcia was a pitcher for the Mariners known for his 175 pitch 4 hour long no no or 1 hitter. [I'm just pulling that our of my rear end, might be totally in my imagination]
