Hello friends!
In my last post, I mentioned how it seemed the shot from the field towards the CN Tower was a common thing.
I thought about it more and decided to see how common it was. But rather than going through every card out there showing the Jays, I just looked at cards showcasing the stadium itself.
Most of these I sadly do not have, but am always looking for them.. All images are from TCDB
First card I'll mention since it showed up first as the upload,1992 Triple Play.
I do have this card. Open roof, blue sky, a few clouds, the Tower.. Beautiful day for baseball!
1994 Score used a field level shot from the first base side. You can see the roof partially opening or closing. I can't really tell..
The abomination that was UD OPC. I'm sorry but as a Canadian, OPC Must have French on it.
*ahem* Anyway... This angle looks like the upper portion of the 500 level behind home plate.
Night shot with the dome closed.
This was the checklist card from I believe the 1989 or 1990 Fire Safety team set. Again it's an outside shot, but you see the tower and the dome open.
The card that started the thought process leading to this post..
This is one of the newer shots. I'd say it's from the Left Field side, likely 500 level again.. Because it's pointed to the field, no Tower.
And a card I didn't know existed until this post. This Only In series highlights something that can only be found at one stadium..
Obviously, for Toronto they picked the CN Tower
Also, is it me, or does it look exactly like the shot from the Donruss commemorative set? Aside from cleaning up the sky of the clouds..
Anyway. I just found this an interesting topic to dive into. If I get positive feedback, I may do more of these with other stadia..
I'm surprised I have the first four and the 2019 card. But then I do like stadiums on cards. I'd be up for a series.
ReplyDeleteI love stadium cards too. Part of why I also have been working on customs of stadiums..
