Card: 1995 Fleer Ultra #331 Alex Rodriguez
Price: $0.54 (+$0.99 Shipping)
1995 was the first year since I began collecting that I didn't buy a single baseball card. I wasn't part of the late-1994 emergence of A-Rod cards on the market, so therefore these early cards of his are still exotic and exciting to me. Whereas 1995 Fleer proper is an eyesore of a set, this Ultra design is unassuming, yet striking, evoking the '90s foil boom without scorching the retinas. I like this card, I love the teal jersey, and the price was something I could live with.
The front design is solid, but the back screams mid 90's Fleer... which isn't necessarily a good thing.
