Set: 1988 Topps
Card Number: 312
Ah, the bright rainbow splash of a Future Stars, a Topps speciality in the late 1980s. Joey Meyer was a Brewer prospect, a prodigious slugger, who reportedly once hit a 582 foot homer while playing in the minors.
It didn't quite translate in the majors- he lasted two seasons with Milwaukee, hitting 18 home runs in 474 at bats over two seasons. He played a season in Japan and then his major league career was over, despite a good season in Japan and a return to the US minor leagues.
