A similar user base will find in Deckset an ideal alternative to Powerpoint, or Keynote. Like most users of Word, I strongly suspect Powerpoint users are in the application by default.ĭeckset has the pedigree to follow the recent success of writing apps like Ulysses, which continue to popularise a previously niche medium. Despite efforts to trim the product, it carries the compound baggage of an ageing codebase, run through with compromise. At the same time, Powerpoint is time-consuming, confusing and frustrating.
Just as Word has become synonymous with writing, and other text-based productivity, Powerpoint is the de facto byword for slide deck presentations. Everywhere there are presentations, there is Powerpoint. That figure is likely to have moved on considerably. In 2013, Microsoft estimated there were 30 million Powerpoint presentations given per day. Presentation Software or Powerpoint by default With Deckset you can get back to what you should be doing, focusing on ideas. Taking all the fuss, and fiddle out of presentation design by creating slick presentations from text files. It seems Focus has become common currency in creative software of late, but Deckset delivers it in an unexpected way. Especially if you’ve only ever used Powerpoint or Keynote. It would be a short list, but you would definitely find Deckset 2.0 there.ĭeckset is a presentation making app with an entirely different user experience. And yet, if you pressed me for a list of cool presentation tools, you wouldn’t find either of those. Keynote can standalone as an alternative to Powerpoint. Just as we have with writing apps, we have painted ourselves into a corner with presentation tools. It doesn’t help that established presentation software is mostly dated, awkward, and time-consuming. So, maybe Upper Deck did this to create a chase card to build hype for the set overall.or perhaps it was just coincidence.Presenting complex ideas in a clear, and simple way is as undervalued as it is difficult to master. Maybe I am wrong, but the reverse negative Murphy seems like a nod to the '57 Topps Hank Aaron: both were stud righties for the Braves and the Aaron error was such a high profile mistake. However, Upper Deck did correct the reverse negative error and released an updated version into the market as well.īecause of this correction, the value of the reverse negative skyrocketed.
Topps never corrected their mistake, though, so there is only that one version of the '57 Topps Hank Aaron and its value is derived purely off of Aaron's legend and popularity. Whenever I see it, I instantly think of the reverse negative image of that Topps mistakenly used for the '57 Hank Aaron. I've always wondered if the reverse negative variation of the Dale Murphy card was intentional. Griffey took over from there and the rest is history.Įstimated Reverse Negative PSA 10 Value: $400 They could have played it safe and gone with someone like Gregg Jefferies, arguably the hottest up-and-comer of the day, but instead went with "The Kid" who wasn't even sure to make the Mariners' 1989 Opening Day roster.įortunately, though, Upper Deck executives stood pat in their decision.Įven if it meant having to color in a Seattle Mariners logo on his San Bernardino Spirits hat and shading it in a bit, they made him look enough like a Mariner to get him ready for the 1989 season. Like the Topps "Future Stars" and Donruss "Rated Rookies," Upper Deck wanted to include its own version of a rookie subset and so they landed on a 26-card "Star Rookie" subset to kick off the set checklist.Īnd, it may seem crazy now, but at the time, Upper Deck took somewhat of a gamble by placing Griffey at the front of the subset in the #1 spot. rookie card helped usher in a new era as the first card and face of this landmark set. One of the most iconic baseball cards in the hobby, the 1989 Upper Deck Ken Griffey Jr.
