Two card lot of California Angels stars DeWayne Buice and Wally Joyner were the very first cards ever issued by The Upper Deck Company. They were given away to Hobby dealers as samples during the summer of 1988. There are three variations of each card based on where the hologram on the reverse side is located. The most common variety, Type A, has a small rounded-oval shaped hologram on the bottom. On Type B, the hologram is of a similar shape, but extends to the bottom edge of the card. Only two of the hologram's four corners are rounded. It is believed that only 25,000 copies of each player's card were printed. Offered here is a Type A Joyner and a Type B Buice.
