Yet another buyback today, but this one is not autographed. This is from the Rediscover Topps buyback series and is the bronze version for the 1990 card. I have always been partial to the 1990 Topps design, even if this card is a little boring. It would have been interesting if Alomar stayed with the Padres, but with Benito Santiago there, the team probably made the right move by trading him.
Incidentally, today is the anniversary of the trade that sent Alomar, along with Carlos Baerga and Chris James, to the Indians for Joe Carter. It was a great deal for the Indians who got two members of the team that would star for them for years to come and help lead them to the postseason for the first time in decades.
