Random Card of the Day |
Wednesday, December 30, 2020Set: 1993 Topps - Inaugural Marlins (Rate) “ This design was not as bad. I can live with it.
Will the thrill. When i was little i got a TTM auto from WIll Clark on a large fold out poster. Always wondered if he actually auto'd it. ” -parsley24
2
“ "Will Clark lights the spark at candlestick park" - at least I think that was what was written on my slurpee cup of him. ” -UKboogie
4
“ Nice 93 Topps. ” -captkirk42
1
“ Marlins logo on a Giants card. Makes perfect sense. ” -vanstryland
1
“ I like the '93 Topps design. But did we need this parallel with the little foil thingy? Personally, I say no. ” -kents_stuff
1
“ While the stamp is nice and all, it doesn't make much sense to have it on a Giants card. ” -IfbBirdsCards
1
“ Okay card for a basic set. I prefer the front of the cards include the player position. The back has all the desired info but with an undesirable color scheme. Extra points for keeping it portrait on the back. ” -Blargh

Tuesday, December 29, 2020Set: 1995 Classic Images Limited Live (Rate) “ Pretty rare to see a professional sport card from Classic. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ I like this card. I enjoyed watching Jerome Bettis when he was with the Rams. The Rams traded him to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1996 , so that they can draft Lawrence Philips. Oops. At least Bettis won a Super Bowl with the Steelers, and be elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. ” -Brendan Barrick
3
“ I would have guessed that this is from 2005 more than 1995. It has aged well I suppose. ” -Duke
1
“ -Nice design, but the scan is a bit hard to read. Maybe it's chrome-y or something and easier to see in person.
-The Bus was a beast!
-Cool to see the Rams logo with the Gateway Arch worked in. ” -kents_stuff
“ Seeing Bettis in Rams colors will never not be unnatural. ” -IfbBirdsCards
“ Everybody lets get on The Bus. Or is that WATCH OUT FOR THE BUS? Nice card for a Classic Games card. Wish the front wasn't chrome/foiled. ” -captkirk42
“ Classic is one of the 3 or 4 brands I want to focus on, when I get back into cards again next year. I like the looks of this set. ” -switzr1
“ I am assuming this card looks better in person than scanned. Although the back looks better than most fronts I have seen. ” -Blargh
“ Love seeing the early Bettis Rams stuff. He was great before he got to Pittsburgh, then he became a HOFer. What a great RB and a Notre Dame guy to boot! ” -muskie027

Monday, December 28, 2020Set: 1990 Pacific Senior League (Rate) “ Never heard of the Senior League. Card is designed to be off center. Puts me in the mind of 1981 Fleer. I like the Card. ” -ToppsrBest
2
“ They weren't the greatest design, but just the subject of Senior League cards made them special. Pacific issued one of the sets; the other was issued by Elite.
As with this card of Landestoy, Pacific always included the full length of the bat in its pictures, making many cards in the set to have large areas of unfocused sky.
Overall, though, the cards brought back many memories, serving their purpose. ” -georgecf
6
“ This is a really solid set. Would love to learn more about this league and why it only lasted a few seasons. I suppose poor attendance, but definitely not due to a lack of stars. ” -IfbBirdsCards
4
“ i give it 33 stars ” -parsley24
“ 25 stars on this card and Rafael Landestoy is not one of them. ” -parsley24
“ Ah the Senior League. I have heard about these cards but have never seen any in the wild. Well I have seen a couple of bloggers write about them but that is all. They are pretty good for what they are. ” -captkirk42
“ I'm glad this came up on RCotD because I've seen the set listed in here before but I've never seen a card. I wish I would have known this league existed back in the day...would've been neat to see some games. ” -kents_stuff
1
“ At first I thought this was a team issued minor league card made by a small local printing company. But now that I see it’s a Senior League Card and the Gray boarders makes much more sense. 😂 ” -Derek McDonough

Sunday, December 27, 2020Set: 2005 Playoff Prime Cuts - MLB Icons Material Bat (Rate) “ A little bland for my liking. ” -muskie027
3
“ I really like the font, except of course for the "C". This Gary Garter gard is gorgeous.
I like the sepia tinge...nice card. ” -kents_stuff
1
“ Nice relic card. Over the years I have modified my view of relics. I still don't like the concept of cutting up uniforms or cutting autographs from older cards and photos, but I don't mind things like bat chips and some equipment relics that are not the uniforms. I have always been a fan of "The Kid" even before the Expos moved to become the Nationals. ” -captkirk42

Saturday, December 26, 2020Set: 2008 Upper Deck Spectrum - Spectrum Swatches Dual (Rate) Card: #SDS-VY Jason Varitek / Kevin Youkilis “ Neat card. I like jersey cards and I always will. ” -Billy Kingsley
3
“ I love the idea but the all white swatches are a fail. ” -Blargh
3
“ Wow! Swatches from the day the Bosox wore those various fundraising uniforms. Varitek in his Polar Bear conservation theme. Youkilis in his Save the Icecaps theme. Wait--I think they have these swapped on this card. Shouldn't it be a UER?!?!
What a boring piece(s) of memorabilia. ” -kents_stuff
3
“ Seems to me, one larger piece for each guy would look better than two smaller. Unless they had used different colors, or maybe a Jersey + bat. ” -switzr1
“ Nice dual relic card. 2 players who were both pretty good for a time. ” -mkb
“ Cards like these illustrate how "old school" I am . . . I was a teenager in the 1970s when baseball cards were simply baseball cards, and NOTHING more . . .
I can't imagine getting excited about all the modern garbage they have in cards . . . game-used this and that . . . but again, it's just that the times have changed, so I am not condemning it . . .
The times may change, but I'm not . . . ” -georgecf
2
“ bawstun lejunds.... ” -parsley24
“ I'll try to stay positive here. First though I am not a fan of cutting up memorabilia and attaching it into a card. OK so pluses are the 2 players featured are on the same team. Even though each player has two swatches they are all plain white. Another drawback is UD didn't serial number this. I think relic cards and autograph cards should always be serial numbered. Maybe that is just me. ” -captkirk42

Friday, December 25, 2020Set: 1996 Collector's Choice - Silver Signature (Rate) “ Nice shot...great team. :) ” -TonyZ
“ Collector's Choice was such a solid release. A fun, low-cost release. ” -ketchupman36
3
“ If I'm not mistaken, this is back to back Royals cards featured as RCOTD. I also think another one was featured recently. What a time to be a Royals fan, though I'm sure Mr. Lockhart would have preferred a better picture for his card. ” -jupiterhill
“ Ahhh...back when parallels were sane. ” -rmpaq5
“ I don’t know why but I like this pose. Like that hat as well, didn’t see that one much. ” -mkb
“ I always like CC Silver Signature. And it's a good photo. So I like this card. ” -switzr1
“ Collector's Choice OOOOOH a Silver parallel ("Silver Signature") Don't like the sideways text. Picture reminds me of the goofy way Brooks Robinson looks on his 1971 card. The player is in a position that is not very flattering and in fact makes them look like they have some kind of physical defect. Back now the backs of the Collector's Choice cards I have always found very nice.
Note: I have already said many times these are not really the choice of the collectors nor are Bowman's Best their Best or Topps Finest their Finest. ” -captkirk42
“ I liked the 96 CC Silver (& Gold) Signature parallels...still do. But was this the beginning of the parallel explosion that I despise so much from more recent years? Red refractor parallels....blue background parallels....red refractor blue background parallels...reddish-bluish refractor bluish-reddish background parallels...geez! ” -kents_stuff
“ Something funny about all different ways his body and neck are bent. Not a bad card. ” -muskie027

Thursday, December 24, 2020Set: 2008 Topps Heritage (Rate) “ Great looking card from the 2016 archives set... i mean the 2008 heritage set.... i mean the 59 topps set. Either way great look. ” -parsley24
5
“ I just joined TCDB, I'm currently creating an insert card to put into a sleeve holder book . I'm finding some amazing cards I wasn't aware are valuable till I found this sight. ” -carder1956
4
“ I dont remember him playing for the Royals. ” -switzr1
“ Nice Heritage card of a very cool vintage design. OK so Football used the design before baseball but still like it. ” -captkirk42
“ I always liked the design of 1959. Mark was at least good for the Royals standard back then though... ” -mkb
“ The 2008 Heritage set is the set I credit with returning me to the hobby! It's also one of the few Heritage sets where I've tracked down all of the variations, short prints, and inserts. ” -NachosGrande
“ Just like you, Mark appears to be looking at his last name and wondering how anyone would remember how to spell it. ” -Hollywood42
2
“ I remember seeing him playing for Harrisburg. Super contact hitter ” -NJDevils
“ Another cool card from Topps Heritage. I like these more and more. ” -muskie027

Wednesday, December 23, 2020Set: 1996 Pinnacle Mint - Coins Gold Plated (Rate) “ Not a trading card... not a trading card...not a trading card...head about to explode....not a trading card...not a....3...2...1....BOOM! ” -Dave Sosidka
21
“ I wish I had gotten more of the Pinnacle Mint sets when they were available, although at the time the only sets for sports I was collecting were the two NASCAR sets. I think I got a grand total of three packs between both sets. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ So which of the images in the checklist for this is correct? The coins only or the cards and the coins? ” -rmpaq5
2
“ Well this is interesting.
I’ve always enjoyed collecting coins like this though. ” -mkb
“ Decent token. I've thought about collecting tokens before. I probably have a few already. This RCOTD may have just prompted me to start a new hobby! ” -switzr1
“ I know this will probably get grief for being a "non-card", but I think this is awesome! ” -bkklaos
“ Me again!
As a huge Michigan fan, I gotta say Harbaugh has to go. He has shown a great strength in recruiting. But player development & game management sucks!
I went to college with him. We all knew he was a jerk, but he was "our jerk" so we liked him.
I had so much hope for him as coach. Drag.
Coin is okay.... tough to distinguish between gold & bronze coins. ” -cjjt
1
“ No thank you. I have no interest in this coin. ” -Brendan Barrick
“ It's cool, but not a card. I didn't collect in 1996, so I am sure it was some form of insert. ” -muskie027
“ I don't have any of these but they are pretty cool looking. i think I'll start a collection ” -biggiofn7
“ I've always wanted one for my collection. ” -MattyIce2014

Monday, December 21, 2020Set: 1999-00 Upper Deck (Rate) “ This was the first season that Upper Deck short printed the rookie cards in their flagship NBA set, something they would continue to do until the NBA pulled the license to give an exclusive to Panini in 2009-10 season. Frustrating for those of us who wanted to complete sets. ” -Billy Kingsley
2
“ UMKAY some foil scanning pure white looking like the card is die-cut. Back is OK looking. ” -captkirk42
“ Too much going on in the design phase of the card. Give me a lot less fluff. ” -Camstone
1
“ A little noisy on the front, a little empty on the back, but I like it! ” -kents_stuff
“ Something I don't like about this. Maybe the white, maybe the lack of logo, I am not sure, but for Upper Deck, I think it isn't great. The back looks crooked. ” -muskie027
1
“ Nothing worth writing home about. Rather dull. ” -Phil
