Lot #401: Three Rare "Looney Tunes Comic Ball Hologram" Trading Cards - 1990 Upper Deck

The 1990 Upper Deck "Looney Tunes Comic Ball Hologram" trading card series was a unique crossover collection that blends the world of Looney Tunes with the format of professional Major League Baseball cards. Animated characters were given the high-end holographic treatment usually reserved for professional athletes. These cards use the classic silver/green holographic film. When you tilt the card, the character appears to move slightly against a shimmering background of Looney Tunes logos or geometric patterns. The cards feature the iconic "Diamond" Upper Deck logo and the "Comic Ball" title, marking them as part of the first-ever series. Like their sports counterparts, these cards were designed to be difficult to replicate, serving as a "premium" layer for the otherwise massive production run of the base set. These three cards are very rare: While the base set is relatively common, the holograms remain the primary target for serious collectors. This lot features three Looney Tunes characters, each in a dynamic baseball pose: Porky Pig: Yawns (classic "Catcher" pose); Speedy Gonzales: Sliding into base; and Wile E. Coyote: Winding up to pitch. Three Trading Cards. Dimensions: 9 cm x 6.5 cm Pickup category timeslot {A}
