Mike Boddicker

Description

Card number 652 holds a unique place in the 1990 Upper Deck Baseball set, representing the high-number tail end of this historic release. As the first major trading card set to feature glossy, full-color photography, Upper Deck revolutionized the hobby, making its complete set highly sought after by dedicated collectors. The low-number sequence, typically numbering below 700, is often prioritized by enthusiasts aiming for a comprehensive collection. Mike Boddicker, a former MLB pitcher, is featured here in his Boston Red Sox uniform. While Boddicker is not a Hall of Famer, his inclusion in this set provides a tangible connection to the 1990 MLB season and the broader history of the Red Sox franchise. For investors and hobbyists, this card represents a piece of design history rather than just player performance. Whether you are building a team set or focusing on the evolution of card design, this low-number card serves as an important component. The glossy finish and vibrant colors characteristic of the 1990 Upper Deck base set make it a visually striking addition to any vintage baseball collection. ## Sources - https://www.upperdeck.com/history - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990_Upper_Deck_Baseball - https://www.mlb.com/redsox/history
