This reminds me of one of those kids' activity books where they give you a dotted outline to "color-in", with the further instruction to "stay withing the lines".
Now, I get the fact that the Texas Rangers were a new team, and perhaps Topps didn't have their official logo yet to airbrush in. But was this the best way to address the issue?
I would sooner have just airbrushed out the Braves logo and left it at that. This "solid" paint-job, without ANY attempt at shading or dimension gives the card an instantly classic appearance!
Always loved this card!
