This card came to me from Kerry at Cards on Cards. He has sent me a bunch of Tinos from The Lost Years, as I'm sure he acquired a few during Tino's stint in St. Louis from 2002-2003. I wasn't collecting much in 2002, so I had never seen the UD Authenics. It's really cool to see Tino featured in Upper Deck's original design. I wish it didn't have the Cards logo and the "Sighed by Cardinals" text, but that's life. It's still sweet to see him in this design, and I may have to pursue the other Yanks from this set.
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.

Yeah, that "Signed By Cardinals" text is just... lazy. To quote a teenage girl, "gross."
