Random Card of the Day |
Friday, November 22, 2019Set: 2003 Bowman's Best - Blue (Rate) “ Calling this Bowman's best just makes me sad. Bowman you could have been great, I loved several of your sets especially 92. Over the last 3 decades you have faded so much in my esteem. ” -davidhandberry
“ I always say the same thing about Bowman's "Best" as well as Topp's "Finest". Y'all know what that is and it is negative. This is a chrome/refractor type card that looks much better in person than on scan. Back not a fan of these comparative stats they use. ” -captkirk42
“ Wow, football got Bowman's Best as late as 2003? The brand's last appearance in my sport was 2000-01. ” -Billy Kingsley

Thursday, November 21, 2019Set: 2008 Upper Deck Documentary (Rate) “ Remember, is the database ends up too slow, this is the set to blame. ” -volbox
“ When I first saw this set it seemed like a great idea for a set. A card for each game of the season. This could have been a great concept but they flunked as soon as they didn't use a picture from that game. The same photo across several games, sometimes the player on the front didn't even play in that game. Then the blurb about the game is off even more, talking about people or persons who aren't shown anywhere. ” -davidhandberry
“ Darn near the most ultimate set ever, 1 huge mistake no identifying name, not that Doc needs one but many others in the set do. ” -baseballcardstoreca
“ When I first saw these I though what a great idea. But after going through a few packs sumthin' just didn't work. Like this card references the Boston Ace but shows Roy Halladay of the Jays. Also the background doesn't look like Fenway Park. ” -Gunny
“ Yep- put the whole set together. Anyone want to try to do the same? Let me know and I can get you a nice starter lot. ” -Dave Sosidka
“ The concept of this set wasn't bad. A card from every game that season (from each team's point of view). Now for set collectors it ballooned way to large, but that is not the main nitpick I have of this set. The pictures are continually reused. For instance if you look at the back of this card at the boxscore, Halladay didn't even pitch it, the winning pitcher is Marcum. An actual shot from each game would have been epic. ” -rmpaq5
“ I like the concept of this set. I think others could copy the idea for football games. ” -cjjt
“ ACK it's a dreaded 1,000s of cards in one set card. Not only that they use the same images for each card the individual player appears on. ” -captkirk42
“ Great card of the great Roy Halladay! ” -Jd_sports

Wednesday, November 20, 2019Set: 2011 Topps Allen & Ginter (Rate) Card: #349 Yuniesky Betancourt “ Year after year there is no "funner" product than Allen and Ginter. No Position? A hit per game player , nice stats 785 hits in 810 games . ” -baseballcardstoreca
“ When these first came out I loved them. The painted look, though I bet they were just photoshopped to look that way. The vintage look. There have now been 14 years of Topps Allen and Ginter, there were only 2 years of the ACTUAL Allen and Ginter. ” -davidhandberry
“ one of the more palatable A&G designs ” -parsley24
“ I have always liked A&G. The 2011 design was a big departure from the "standard" A&G design with the border lines, block surrounding the brand name and the team logo. Back completely standard A&G. ” -captkirk42
“ I don't love the location of the name, but maybe that's partially a result of the longer last name. There's something about Allen & Ginter that's unique, but I'm not interested in collecting it on a yearly basis. ” -vanstryland
“ NAF - not a fan ” -NJDevils
“ Some of the Allen & Ginter stuff has such a cool look. I've really come around on these, just like Heritage, over the years. ” -muskie027

Tuesday, November 19, 2019Set: 1998 Circa Thunder (Rate) “ 2019 Salaries: Bobby Bonilla - $1.19 million Ronald Acuña Jr - $1M Cody Bellinger - $605K Juan Soto - $578.3K ” -volbox
“ It's weird to me to see this set not called Z-Force. When the NBA set came out in 1997 I really thought it was great, but looking back on it I'm not that big of a fan of it. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ Overall, a decent card. The action pictures on the front are nice, but the backgrounds are often too busy, and detract from the player's image. The backs are what makes the set standout. It is a different design that is graphically pleasing. Career stats would have been preferable to the OBP graph, but that seems a minor point. ” -georgecf
“ I didn't know he started his career with the White Sox just to be traded back to the Pirates...not that I could learn any of that from this card of course. ” -vanstryland
“ ThE mEtS sTiLl PaY hIm EvErY yEaR. ” -Tylergallo
“ Haven't heard of this one. Looks like a late 1990s Fleer Ultra or a Pacific brand. ” -captkirk42
“ I never hear anyone talk about what a good player he was, I only ever hear about what a bad contract the Mets gave him. This card is a little busy, but it's interesting at least. ” -jackal726
“ By no means a traditional baseball card , too much thunder , lightning and sparks not enough pure BB + lackluster stats =meh ! ” -baseballcardstoreca
“ A perfect example of 1990s inserts by Fleer/Skybox. But I have to say, I would happily pull this from a pack over some of the inserts released today. These were crazy and included cool info on the backs. ” -Corky
“ An obvious late 90s card. I feel a bit of nostalgia seeing all the computer generated graphics. ” -davidhandberry

Monday, November 18, 2019Set: 2017 Topps Heritage (Rate) Card: #258 Rockies 2017 Rookie Stars (David Dahl / Raimel Tapia) “ Nice looking retro card but still the same issue. It's getting old. Try something new Topps. ” -davidhandberry
“ my first set that i have been trying to collect since jumping back in. So close.... so close. Not my favorite design of a card, but the simplicity of the photos is great. ” -parsley24
“ Two solid Rockies rookies. ” -vanstryland
“ Nice RETRO Heritage card. Wasn't David Dahl supposed to be one of those golden child players? ” -captkirk42
“ Everytime someone says David Dahl, I mentally confuse him with David Diehl. ” -royals

Saturday, November 16, 2019Set: 1996 Pacific Crown Royale (Rate) “ I love this set. One of my favorite. ” -davidhandberry
“ He was never the same after the giant pretzel attack. ” -volbox
“ Pacific did some really nice cards, and someday soon there will be a boom/rush on them when many realize just how good their products were. ” -baseballcardstoreca
“ These are such cool cards in hand. Scanning them is not easy but nicely done here. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ I feel like we had one of these recently. I like it better this time around. Does that mean this is growing on me? ” -muskie027
“ One of the great football products in the history of western civilization. ” -mkaz80
“ Too much crown doth not a royal card make. ” -CollectingAfterDeath

Friday, November 15, 2019Set: 2011 Bowman Sterling (Rate) “ The fronts of this card is nice enough. Everything you need but the back is boring and I don't know for certain but if this is like the baseball set, it has probably 10 parallels that water down my enthusiasm even more. ” -davidhandberry
“ Great scan of a chrome style card! ” -Billy Kingsley
“ Good looking card. ” -parsley24
“ Nice Highend card. At first look at the design I thought this was Topps Prime or Upper Deck Sweet Spot set. It took me a little while to see the team name, in hand I think it is clearer. Team logo would be nice on front. Back is pretty good except for the single season stats. Oh wait he's a Rookie, but still I think the set uses just one year even for vets. ” -captkirk42
“ Not bad at all. The design is a bit busy, but not in a bad way. I'm sure the front looks even better in-person than a scan can show. ” -spazmatastic
“ Really nothing I like except the player's name and position is easily(?) read. That's it. ” -beardogfarm

Thursday, November 14, 2019Set: 2017 Topps Star Wars Rogue One Series 2 - Movie Posters (Rate) Card: #NNO Director Krennic Character Poster “ Movie poster into a design is usually cool, but just a head (even with the Death Star blueprints projected on said face) isn't. Great actor, good character and I enjoyed Rogue One. ” -ShoTime
“ Not worthy of the coincidence list, but within a week or so, the podcast Star Wars Minute [discusses a minute of each of the Star Wars feature film releases in one episode of their podcasts] will begin their coverage of Rogue One. ” -stevejrogers
“ Nice Non-Sport card. ” -captkirk42
“ Welcome to more of the endless milking of 1 great movie Star Wars, obviously they never drew the line at 1 nor 2 or 3 ” -baseballcardstoreca
“ That is one great looking photo. I have never collected non sports cards but if I ever did Star Wars would probably be high up on my list and this card is one of that might sway me someday to sojourn into that space (pun intended). ” -davidhandberry

Wednesday, November 13, 2019Set: 2008 Bowman Draft Picks & Prospects - Gold (Rate) “ I like the look of the front of Bowman cards and then it dies because I know this is one of probably a dozen parallels. Knowing that most of the "prospects" aren't going to amount to anything. Also I know when I turn it over it's going to be a hideous Bowman back. Please Topps take Bowman and try something new. I used to love the Bowman sets in the the early 90's. ” -davidhandberry
“ I am not a fan of these bowman cards. i know i like simple designs, but bruh.... ” -parsley24
“ His name is Hurley and he hurls fastballs. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ OK we just had a Bowman card as the Random Card of the Day.This one is marked with the Rookie Card logo indicating a Rookie. Front is OK I guess the design is kind to the image with the ball still in frame at the top pretty cool action shot. team logo would be nice but whatevers. Personally I think the player's name should be a little bigger than the team name but again whatevers. back is nice and in this case only one year of stats are OK for a rookie, however adding minor league stats would be nice as well. ” -captkirk42
“ I have no idea who this is. I guess Hurley wasn't a very effective hurler. ” -beansballcardblog
“ Blah! ” -Coccia
“ Dear Topps , please stop making these types of cards where we pay good $$ for low quality, easily chipped colors/borders especially after that 2007 remake of 1971. I just want mint cards!!! ” -baseballcardstoreca
