But at least I have my answer.<br /><br />My answer for you: The Ballparks card is from 2010 Upper Deck.night owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673973790245316059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-85948606055056444422011-03-07T21:40:17.930-05:002011-03-07T21:40:17.930-05:00Okay, because I'm crazy like that, I actually ...Okay, because I'm crazy like that, I actually did a little bit of research. The R-Braves played in The Diamond (which is on the card, duh), which is an outdoor stadium. Looking at pictures of the stadium (since I've never been there), this picture was most likely taken in straight-away center field. It's the only part of the stadium without any ads now (and probably has been that way since the 80s). There are shadows showing what appears to be a single light source coming from the players' left side, which matches up with an early-season late-afternoon sun position. So, I'm going to have to go with an outdoor picture with really shoddy late '80s minor league camera equipment and printing processes. If the picture was taken under the lights, there should be more than one shadow direction, especially in center field. But that's just my thinking.<br /><br />And that Ballparks card <i>is</i> awesome. What is it from? I can't seem to find info on it. I ask, because now I gotta have one too.<br /><br />And last, about the Oliver card - much less analysis went into this one. It looks like this shot was also taken in the afternoon when the shadows were covering the third base side of the stadium. With Al being in the bright sun, and the background not, there's a major contrast issue. <br /><br />Should I get a job working for CSI? Or just write for Monk (is that show still being made?)?Ryan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670458381967699663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-84797033693801700712011-03-07T19:59:47.400-05:002011-03-07T19:59:47.400-05:00If you ever decide to just toss the Safeco Field c...If you ever decide to just toss the Safeco Field card in a random box of UD cards let me know.
