Kent Hrbek

Description

Kent Hrbek, the former first baseman for the Minnesota Twins, is featured on card #452 from the 1990 Upper Deck baseball set. This release is part of the Low Number subset, which assigns sequential numbering starting from 1 rather than the traditional sequential order found in standard issues. For collectors building a complete set of the 1990 Upper Deck base cards, card #452 represents a specific slot in the set's unique numbering system, distinguishing it from the more common high-number parallels often found in this era. The 1990 Upper Deck set is widely regarded as a landmark in modern sports card history, being the first major issue to feature a card-sized photograph on the reverse side, a design choice that set a new industry standard. Hrbek’s tenure with the Twins, including his role in their 1987 and 1991 World Series championships, adds historical weight to this piece for fans of the franchise. Investors and hobbyists alike often seek this card to complement vintage collections or to capitalize on the enduring appeal of 1990s baseball memorabilia.
