Random Card of the Day |
Friday, March 25, 2016Set: 2007 Topps - Josh Gibson Home Run History (Rate) “ Neat card. Good history. Would have worked better if he had played in the era of photographers everywhere, every game, but the concept is sound. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ I read about this guy. AMAZING!!! ” -carthage44
“ Ugly front. the bottom panel with the 460 is too dark hard to read the number even though it takes up a third of the card. The 'photo' (painting? actually) should be the whole front with the 460 on top of it and a little smaller. Lets check the back... the info that is there is OK but the picture should be where the 460 is and the 460 shouldn't be its own logo. A headline yes, a "picture" or text box NO. ” -captkirk42
“ WOW!! Great little bio on the back....I wonder how much stats and records would be different if the likes of Gibson, and Satchel Paige played. ” -RoyalChief

Wednesday, March 23, 2016Set: 1991-92 Upper Deck (Rate) “ The first Upper Deck NBA set...a classic. The first card I ever traded for was J.R. Reid's base card from 1995-96 Topps. It's in poor shape and I've since upgraded but I still have the one I traded for. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ Like the front some. The sideways stats on the back NO. ” -captkirk42
“ Again, the sideways stats on the back. Boooo! ” -NJDevils
“ Heck yea JR Reid! Decent player! ” -wax_house
“ Not sure what is happening on the back. Is he rebounding? Blocking a shot? Dunking with the worst aim imaginable? ” -Mitch
“ I have no idea what is going on with that picture on the back. ” -switzr1
“ The back picture looks like he's going to hurl the ball at the woman in the neck brace. Either way, this a clean, simple card that won't win any design awards but won't be added to the dumpster fire either. ” -ketchupman36
“ Pretty simple but solid design. ” -carthage44
“ I like the front. Court floor border. Lots of room for the picture. The back is another story. I like the backboard number. But could do without the picture in place of more stats/bio. ” -C2Cigars

Tuesday, March 22, 2016Set: 1994 Upper Deck World Cup Contenders English/Spanish (Rate) “ Their shirts look like they each have a towel on their right shoulder. ” -switzr1
“ My first card of the day. ” -deporcoruña
“ Well this is neat. Only player I have heard of is Mia Hamm, is she on here? Maybe #9. Nice perm #10!!! ” -RoyalChief
“ Nice to put only 11 in the photo. Heck with the rest of the team. ” -NJDevils
“ Cool card. U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! ” -captkirk42
“ They're thrilled. ” -wax_house
“ Where is everyone? Only 11 players? ” -carthage44

Sunday, March 20, 2016Set: 1999-00 Upper Deck MVP (Rate) “ This was the first set I completed from my current local card shop, back when it was new. Not really a huge fan of the design. This set replaced Collector's Choice in the lineup. He quietly built up a hall of fame career, and is currently 12th all time in scoring in NBA history- of about 4000 players. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ He's tall! The card is so nondescript, I've already forgotten it. ” -dilemma19
“ Mitch was Rich. ” -carthage44
“ Too much garbage on the front detracting from the photo. ” -NJDevils
“ Not a huge fan of the MVP sets, but this one is OK. Cant read the MVP part but whatever. The player name could be a bit bigger as the team name, a team logo would be nice also. Going to the back...OK ah there is the team logo. Looks a bit wasteful, turn it to a horizontal (landscape) card and add a short bio and/or cartoon and you got a nice back. ” -captkirk42
“ Not too bad. Nice, overall. The name, team, jersey #, MVP layout seems a little disjointed. I like it when a HOFer is Card of the Day. ” -C2Cigars
“ This set is alright. Inexpensive to buy at the time. I don't mind collecting the lower-priced stuff. ” -switzr1

Saturday, March 19, 2016Set: 1997 Bowman - International (Rate) “ Not sure what makes this International, but the Flag design is cool. Looks like it's mirror foil which is always tough to scan. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ Is this the original form of state and hometown? I do like the flag, and I will acknowledge how good of a pitcher Esk was. ” -DarkSide830
“ Eck was sick! ” -carthage44
“ Looks like Bowman Chrome Hehe. OK front, can't read it probably due to blurry scan, unless it's a chrome card. Back I really really do not like the stats against other teams. ” -captkirk42
“ Wow, completely forgot or never realized he played for the Cards. And of course, sweet stache!!! I kind of dig the American flag backdrop. ” -RoyalChief
“ Due to my 24-years of military service, I am fuming when I see these cards. Did Topps intentionally disrespect the US flag? Or are they just idiots? The blue union should always be displayed on the left. IMHO, every card in this set deserves a UER and should be rotated CCW to properly display the flag. I'm glad I never bought these, I would have shredded or burned them immediately. ” -C2Cigars
“ Eck doesn't look right in a Cards uniform. The card design is decent though. ” -dilemma19
“ This is a Cardinals card I have never seen. I want it. ” -switzr1
