Random Card of the Day

“ Looks like it might be the technology used on the 2000-01 NBA set...kind of like a refractor but textured. It looks really impressive in hand but scans don't always capture it. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ I prefer the natural backgrounds ” -RoundtheDiamond87

“ The lazers are weird and out of place. ” -carthage44

“ Not much to like about this card. Hate the background. Hate the white around the player. Weird spot for the Dodgers logo. On the back the size of things doesn't make sense to me. I have never seen a card where the personal information is bigger than everything else. I could keep going and going but suffice it to say I will not be running out to get this set. ” -davidhandberry

“ Some collectors I have met in my local area go nuts over Bowman stuff. Me, I'll pass. ” -Gunny

“ There has got to be a list that someone has for players whose names sound dirty. Kind of weird graphics, not so sure about the glow. Really not sure if this was one of Bowman's "best". ” -parsley24

“ Less is more Bowman & most times better. Nice back ,not diggin the front though. ” -uncaian

“ Mr. Diggins has quite a stride. Big dude. Former 1st rounder who only appeared in 5 games in his career. As far as the card is concerned, I approve of 2001 Bowman's Best. Fun design. ” -mkaz80

“ As much as I like the front, that is how much I don't like the back except for the large number. ” -NJDevils

“ Very nice chrome-y card set. Great scan. Wouldn't mind some of these in my collection. ” -vrooomed

“ Wouldn't it be funny if the set could be named what many are probably thinking....Bowman's Worst. The funny thing is, if they just take out the computer junk and the sideways multi-colored pyramid, then focused the background in so it was an action shot, this card would actually be pretty good. Add a position marker and it would be great. ” -muskie027

“ Diggins...sounds like the name of my next dog. Come here, Diggins! ” -RoundtheDiamond87

“ Actually I pretty nice looking card for a "Bowman's Best". I usually find the "Best" like it's Topps "Finest" kin to be far from "Best" or "Finest" most of the time. This is an OK front, the background with the lasers are a bit much. Back is very plain OK so he was a rookie in 2000 and didn't play, could they have shown his Minor league stats? Or College stats at least? ” -captkirk42

“ He has more career hits 1 than wins 0. ” -kirkscards

“ Always liked the Bowman's Best. Not the usual cheap looking cards. ” -KMack

“ Great action photo. This is a case where I almost like a graphic background...almost. ” -cnangle

“ It's fine. I don't remember this set or player though. ” -switzr1

“ Looks like they are at the Aquarium on the back. ” -carthage44

“ I enjoyed this movie, a nice fun Star Trek adventure. I had no idea these cards existed, good one! ” -Gunny

“ Not a big fan of this card. ” -olerud363

“ One of the good Star Trek movies. ” -RoyalChief

“ Nope ” -parsley24

“ Power failures always happen at the most inconvenient moments. ” -dilemma19

“ May normal size cards live long and prosper. ” -jayoneill

“ Live Long And Prosper. Except I'm not a big fan of these movie "widescreen" cards which are basically tall-boys turned on their sides. Other than my beef with oddball sizes it is a cool card set. ” -captkirk42

“ What's the over-under on member comments citing "Live Long and Prosper"? I'm going with 4-and-a-half, and taking the over. ” -kents_stuff

“ Skybox did Star Trek? Who knew? Was this an odd shaped card, it has a very long look to it. As far as a non-sport, not bad. Early Skybox always was interesting in the sport world, wouldn't have expected anything different for non-sport. ” -muskie027

“ Another disappointing Bengals draft choice from the '90s. This guys supposed to be an absolute stud in the NFL. Oh well... ” -mkaz80

“ I always hated checklist cards. That being said the least despicable ones are the ones that have a player photo on them. This is Classic so I don't expect much and that is what you get. ” -davidhandberry

“ He had so much promise but injuries (ACL tear, torn rotator cuff, broken wrist and dislocated knee cap) derailed his career. ” -carthage44

“ Didnt see the "T" in the logo. Thought it was a benchwarmers parallel that i didnt have yet. ” -parsley24

“ I miss the vintage style checklists. ” -jayoneill

“ Not a fan of Classic games cards. Nice looking front. Since it is a checklist card having the player on the front identified would be nice. I miss the days of real checklist cards. Prefer them to be the last few numbered cards at the back of the set. Giving them photos on the front gets them lost in the set. ” -captkirk42

“ Bust.. ” -SFC Temple

“ Foil or black border? Who can tell with foil. Good scan, lackluster card. I don't know why card companies keep thinking a player cutout in front of some digital background is a good idea, as I don't remember encountering anyone who likes that concept. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Thought it looked like an awesome card, then realized it was a sticker. Not a fan of stickers. I have a few in my collection but they tend to be flimsy and hard to keep in good shape. ” -davidhandberry

“ Great front. Lousy back. Remind me again...what's the card number here? ” -kents_stuff

“ The double logo is overkill. ” -carthage44

“ I do like the size of the number. ” -NJDevils

“ Actually a good looking card/sticker. I would totally put this on my mead 5 star trapper keeper in middle school. ” -parsley24

“ Nice sticker. I tend to forget that Panini started with stickers, or at least did stickers well enough that they really should stick with them. Pardon the pun. ” -captkirk42

“ I really enjoyed filling up the sticker books as a kid. Collecting stickers on their own? Not sure I'm a fan. ” -SFC Temple

“ Okay, considering it's Panini. ” -cjjt

“ This might be a record for shortest time from adding photo to making RCOTD. I see cnangle added this one less than a month ago. The print is too small for me to read, so I have no idea what this set is all about. ” -switzr1

“ Old so good, but what the heck is going on here? What is up with the waiters face? Is he a fish man? Looks like something from the X-Files. Maybe the words explain it, but I can't get them to focus in. Still, anything from 1800's looks cool. They could have a set of dog crap piles, but you put them in the tobacco setting and I think I'd like it. ” -muskie027

“ 1888? Wow! ” -jayoneill

“ OH! well, its a card. Not a very good one, but it’s a card ” -Bargunmaster

“ Not sure what this is but it looks racist. ” -carthage44

“ This is my all-time favorite Random Card of the Day. ” -Doe MG

“ Wow, a 19th century card. That makes this is my all-time favorite Random Card of the Day. ” -Doe MG

“ Yes! Finally a 19th century tobacco card. I really like the artwork in this set. I think the cards are supposed to be funny. I guess you had to be there. The images are taken from "Puck" magazine which was a satirical publication from 1871 to 1918. The scenes are a satirical representation of societal opinion and, like in this card, are often not politically correct by today's standards. ” -cnangle

“ HOLY BATMAN! What an awesome artifact. LOVE it. So wrong and stereotyping. Truly, an amazing collectible. ” -cjjt

“ Nice artwork, but I think 1880's humor is over-rated. But the concept of a tobacco card back then was novel, and kudos to those marketing folks who came up with it. ” -kents_stuff

“ I remember getting this card when I opened a couple packs back in '89. ” -NJDevils

“ Interesting vintage card, to say the least. Par for the course though at the time, I suppose. ” -IfbBirdsCards

“ Good looking historical card, kind of racist now. One of those hard cards to justify having it other than it is history. ” -parsley24

“ The 19th century cards are almost enough to get me to buy something that isn't a baseball card. This is a beautiful and fascinating card. And, of course, terribly offensive, which is a bit of a problem.... ” -Vvvergeer

“ not really sure whats going on here but the date is 1888 that alone is pretty sweet ” -Thunderfoot

“ Nice vintage vintage non-sport card. Very non PC by today's standards. ” -captkirk42

“ How I miss 90's QB's. ” -carthage44

“ Very nice cards. Smart design both front and back. ” -KMack

“ I like this set. Nice pictures on both sides. The name on the front is a little lost, that I think is the only negative for me. ” -davidhandberry

“ Classy looking card/set. Especially like the large action image on the back. This also reminds me of another classic Chris Berman-ism: Steve "I Got You Babe" Bono. ” -mkaz80

“ Steve Bono Ranked #179th all time passing yards. ” -kirkscards

“ Good to see a Chief! Good photos on this card. Front is clean and focuses on the player, back is decent on info and has another nice game photo used. A solid B card for a C- player. ” -Brimose

“ I really liked SP when they first came out. Still a good looking card. ” -cnangle

“ Where's Cher? I got you babe..... ” -Gunny

“ For as much as I loved Upper Deck base sets, I never really got into any of there sub sets. Not digging the mall name on this and a lot of space is dedicated on the left to the Upper Deck branding. Also, full stats please. ” -muskie027

“ I like this design. Don't think I've seen one before. Personally I think it would be better had they just landscaped the whole front instead of running text vertically up the sides. But I can live with what they did. ” -kents_stuff

“ Good looking card, disappointment in a qb. ” -parsley24

“ I love up-close-and-personal action shots like this one, but not keen on player info minimized while card company maximized. ” -Sportzcommish

“ Another football set I both like and dislike. The arrow pyramid thing is too large has to go. Sideways vertical writing a no-no. Player name too small, where is the team name? Logo? Player position? Back photo way too large only one year of stats. Very little info at all. ” -captkirk42

“ Not a bad card. Very impressed with two different photos and not much clutter on the front. ” -NJDevils

“ Although you can't tell from scans, this card is green and black mirror foil. This scan being so washed out doesn't really make it any harder to tell. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ I am not a hockey fan so I had never heard of Parkhurst. Looked it up and I guess it has been making cards, mostly hockey, since the 50's. As for the card, I like the design of the front, he pops out from the background where lots of times the player gets lost in the digital backgrounds. The back though I really don't like the black and white background just doesn't fit with the futuristic looking front. ” -davidhandberry

“ Magnus had a nice run with the Senators and these cards actually like pretty nice in hand. Oh, I miss my old Senators hat, best work hat I ever had. It didn't survive the rebuild of our deck during the summer of 2017. ” -Gunny

“ Not a big fan of this Parkhurst set , but I do like the back . ” -uncaian

“ Hmm? Parkhurst, the inspiration for Panini? ” -Sportzcommish

“ Sad I usually like Parkhurst designs. This one I don't tooo plain on front. Hate the vertical type. Parkhurst way way too big besides the brand logo is in the top right corner, larger ID NOT NEEDED. Needs team name printed on front. OK yeah he is a Senator seeing his jersey but what of the players who are only have a head and shoulders bust shot? Back with the bubbles reminds me of the old VH1 (or was it MTV?) Pop-Up Videos. Bad only one year of stats. Card number large enough to read but poor font makes it difficult to read. ” -captkirk42

“ So much foil. ” -carthage44

“ Magus "The Machine" Arvedson. The front isn't as dramatic as the designers probably hoped it would be, and the back looks like a mid-90s gar(b)age product. Good blurb, but nothing else worth a compliment. If the plan is to drape "PARKHURST" along the left edge in letters more than twice as big as for the player name, then could you at least have put the team logo in the corner and/or the back instead of that green parkhurst zit? ” -dilemma19

“ Pretty good card. Im not a Hockey card fan. ” -parsley24

“ For some one reason I want to think this guys name is Parkhurst. ” -kirkscards

“ Tough scan. I don't like front images over a fake background. I would rather see him on the ice or portrait shot.The back is ok...but only single season stats...don't like that either. I do like the Freddy Krueger photo bomb on the back though. ” -cnangle

“ All black front--cool and unique. Except for Topps Unique, of course. Which based on this, wasn't so much. ” -kents_stuff

“ Neat card. From before they put both halves of a serial number on the card. I like the blue theme. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Great card for a great player. ” -Parsons0311

“ Ooo an autograph, don't see that often on RCOTD ” -Lennoxmatt

“ One of the best Blue Jays ever ! Nice card , nice signature . ” -uncaian

“ I like this card. The only issues I have is how big the Donruss Signature logo is and his name is white on white which makes it pretty hard to see. ” -davidhandberry

“ Hall of Fame Auto? A less than crazy computerized background that doesn't overbear the player? A different picture with a nice write up on the back (not "Congratulations blah blah blah)? Wow. This is many form of all right! ” -rmpaq5

“ A Blue Jays uniform would have looked nicer, but I'd still be happy to own this card. ” -dilemma19

“ Not a lot of Roberto Alomar auto cards out there, NICE! ” -carthage44

“ This card is spitting fire..... Great looking card. ” -parsley24

“ its an absolutely lovely signature, and a nice design for an auto card, but why is "donruss signature series" the largest thing on the card? shrink that down to the corner and it would look better ” -jamestagli

“ I bet the blue on this card is fabulous in hand. Nice. ” -Doe MG

“ Nice auto card. Can't tell but it looks to be ON CARD. If so GREAT! Love On card autos. If it is a sticker well then poo. I should probably look for one of these since the O's are my second homie team. Now what I don't like about it is the diamonds all over the front not needed. OK so I don't see much of a difference if any between this Century Marks (blue), the base Autos (red) and the Millennium Marks (green) versions, except base autos seem to not be serial numbered (but doesn't tell of how many) and OH the background colors sheesh) Player name a little difficult to read and at a weird vertical. Also no team name on front. Back name should read on the horizontal not vertical rest is OK for an auto card, not great. ” -captkirk42

“ I really like these. Bold colors, solid auto's. ” -KMack

“ This would be a nice card if someone hadn't written all over it! ” -YoRicha

“ That's a Hall of Famer, for you non-baseball guys. Great card! ” -switzr1

“ One of my favorite card designs. I remember people used to erase the name from the card fronts and try to sell them as "errors". ” -olerud363

“ Always a classic.....ordinary by today's standards, but still great. I remember the utter disbelief in spending $2 a pack..... ” -tbshaw

“ Nearly everything about this card makes me frown. The only nice thing is the large number. ” -NJDevils

“ Upper Deck's first set. Still one of my favorites. Great photos on the front and back of the cards. Everything is easy to read, from the team logo, position, and name. The only issue I have with 1989 Upper Deck is that it was so well done they basically reused the design with a few changes until 1994. ” -davidhandberry

“ That Starter jacket he is wearing on the back of the card is a real beauty. ” -Gunny

“ When i saw this I tried to figure out when San Diego ditched the pinstripes on their uniforms which led me to realizing that by the time this card was released Jones had been traded away to the Yankees, the team probably most associated with said pinstripes. ” -OCHawkeye

“ Who??? I'll pretend that the wide array of injuries which prevented him from finishing a season explains why I've never heard of Jimmy Jones. At least one good thing came out of this RCOTD -- in JJ's checklist I discovered a basketball card linked to this PID, now reassigned to the basketballer of the same name. 89UD was groundbreaking, expensive, and is still decent looking almost 30 years later. Wish they'd make licensed baseball cards again. ” -dilemma19

“ Classic set. Great pictures. ” -cjjt

“ one of the greatest sets of all time. Great photos great graphics, just the right mix of cost/value at the time. But not a clue who jimmy jones was. ” -parsley24

“ This set made collecting fun again. ” -Doe MG

“ I really liked the original UD set. I think they liked it too because the next 2 years had almost the same design. ” -IfbBirdsCards

“ Looking back, the photography across this set is not so great. I didn't like the limited stats on the back, but Upper Deck always nailed the back photos. ” -marcbrubaker

“ OK card, not amazing. I wish there wasn't so much white around the Padres symbol in the bottom right corner. Other than that I say it's a pretty good card ” -Jd_sports

“ Oh, I remember well when Upper Deck premeired. The hobby was all a buzz. Never before seen card quality. Holograms to ensure authenticity. Fancy foil packs. And what was considered at the time an outrageous price. ” -C2Cigars

“ Premiere Upper Deck Baseball YAY! Upper Deck upped the anti with the quality of cards... Oh OK perhaps Topps Stadium Club did it with the Kodak quality photos? ” -captkirk42

“ Jimmy Jones! Pitches so fast you'll freak! Oh wait, that's Jimmy Johns. Close enough. ” -jupiterhill

“ My kind of card right here! ” -RoyalChief

“ full bleed picture would have looked better than the white at the top ” -aussiewayne

“ Reminds me of 1973 Topps baseball with bad cropping of action shots. ” -Sportzcommish

“ I like the design. Score always seemed to be original and affordable. I was disappointed after Score stopped putting out cards in the late 90's for baseball. ” -davidhandberry

“ I like it! Nice action shot, good info on back, even the weird framing of the photo with his head coming out of the frame works for me. ” -rmpaq5

“ These cards always had good action photos on the front. Could do with a little less white border though. Nice there is a different picture on the back than the front. ” -KMack

“ I am glad Score has come back (via Panini). A cheaper option and a larger checklist of players. ” -carthage44

“ All in all a good looking card. Great action photo. ” -parsley24

“ Barebones 1990s Score card. Skins card a plus. Team name and logo should be on front. Back doesn't need photo. Needs more stats not just one year. ” -captkirk42

“ I liked Score better in the early years when they had different color borders throughout the set. I do like the photography on this card. ” -beansballcardblog

“ I like that other players appear in the foreground of this photo. The card is far more interesting than the white border would otherwise make it, and Westbrook is still the focal point. Thorough write-up and another good photo on the back. Maybe the only box not checked off for me is a team logo somewhere - ideally on the front. ” -dilemma19

“ Mid-90s Score featured some pretty awesome photo choices. Nice card from a very solid set! ” -mkaz80

“ This is a good Score football set. I've always enjoyed Score. ” -switzr1
