Set: 2001 SP Authentic (Rate)

Card: #53 Rick Ankiel


“ I'm not sure why everybody goes nuts over SP Authentic. The cards just aren't that great. At least, being mostly white, they don't show the dust that invariably gets trapped on scanner trays. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ juuuust a bit outside... ” -volbox

“ Blinded by the white, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night, Blinded by the white... Oh, wait. That's not how the song goes. ” -C2Cigars

“ Ankiel is a real favorite with just about any Cardinals fan. Great looking card too. Nice design and terrific photograph. ” -switzr1

“ Looks like he's figure skating instead of pitching. ” -deporcoruña

“ Good hitter. Good outfielder. Terrible pitcher. :) ” -vrooomed

“ Geez,I hope Rick doesn't twist his Ankiel doing that.Kind of a blah set. ” -uncaian

“ This guy was just a pure athlete! ” -carthage44

“ Another of these early 2000s Love/Hate sets. I started out really liking SP Authentic but they are often TOO plain, TOO bare white. Wow what a photo though. ” -captkirk42

“ Strange career. Good for him at reinventing himself as a hitter after he lost his pitching. He had a 25 HR season. ” -armac

Set: 1994 Pacific (Rate)

Card: #5 Sid Bream


“ "The Slide" ” -domentho

“ Sid is so fast he can field his own hits.Nice card. ” -uncaian

“ I always liked this set. The main focus is the photograph, which is how I like it. Font for name is a little hard to read. Some might not like the absence of a team name on the front, but as long as his helmet is visible, I can see the Braves logo just fine. ” -switzr1

“ Simple but solid. ” -carthage44

“ Nice looking card. Pacific is usually pretty good like this. Back lack of stats ugh. ” -captkirk42

Set: 1990-91 Pro Set (Rate)

Card: #629 Martin Hostak


“ I like the design of this set. I was given a bunch of them earlier this year. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ YES 90-91 PRO SETT This set isone of the most profesional sets ever made in hokey history. some of the best profreaders in Tradingcard historey worked at ProSet. ” -Howintensive

“ The first set I ever owned. This just looks like my childhood. ” -wax_house

“ Pro Set, the McDonald's of cards..."Billions and Billions Printed"... and it seemed an equal number of errors. A 705-card set for a 21-team league? Even after producing a card for every player on every team, that left about 200+ filler cards. I guess their business philosophy was "Quantity Over Quality". ” -C2Cigars

“ Always liked Pro Set sets even though they tend to be overly simple. ” -captkirk42

“ Ahh,Pro Sets first hockey outting,should of had a drinking game spot the error take a drink - you'd get hammered !!! Hostak was one of those players who did well everywhere but NHL. ” -uncaian

“ The Flyers used too much black in this uni set. I'm glad they went back to their original style. ” -jlaz10

Set: 1975 Topps (Rate)

Card: #165 Doug Rader


“ Great color scheme. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Somebody gave poor Doug the wrong directions to the Astrodome. ” -switzr1

“ Classic set. ” -vrooomed

“ I was 10 when these came out- I remember not being able to focus on my school work after walking into the candy store at lunch time and seeing a brand new box of 1975 Topps cellos sitting there. Yet another Topps issue that would have been better served without the facsimile autograph. ” -Dave Sosidka

“ Topps 1975 the first year starting collecting cards. One if my favorite designs. ” -goldeneye

“ One of my all time fave sets. Still need to complete it as well as it's mini parallel set. ” -captkirk42

“ One of my least favorite sets. All because of some of the uncomplementary color combos. Some of the background color combos were hideous. And sometimes that was compounded by a clashing team name color. Everything else I like; the little baseball, name font, facsimile signature, team name style, photos. ” -C2Cigars

“ One of the first baseball sets I actually tried to collect & one of my favorite sets. ” -uncaian

“ SO VERY GOOD!!! ” -carthage44

Set: 1997-98 Collector's Choice (Rate)

Card: #59 Terry Dehere


“ My least favorite of the Collector's Choice sets, for the sole reason that the number is too darn hard to read! Even in person it's miniscule. I have this same design in both NASCAR and Hockey and the numbers are larger in both...so not sure what UD was thinking when they did the NBA set. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ I don't usually like the Collector's choice designs, they usually all look alike and are generally boring. This one is a nice variation from the usual boring theme. ” -captkirk42

“ My first thought...AWKWARD. I like the card design, it doesn't overpower the subject...the player. ” -C2Cigars

“ This was the first Collectors Choice design that I didn't like. I always found the font used for the name hard to read. ” -switzr1

“ I normally wouldn't comment on a basketball card, but had to make mention of a former player from my alma mater, Seton Hall University in South Orange, NJ- Terry Dehere. Dehere was from the last great run of Seton Hall teams under coach PJ Carlesimo, including the one that was robbed of a national title by Michigan in 1989. A New Jersey schoolboy standout, he played for Bob Hurley, Sr. at St. Anthony's in Jersey City and remains in the area to this day. ” -Dave Sosidka

“ 1996-97 Clippers were a playoff team. Love me some 90s Clippers! ” -wax_house

“ That's an awkward looking rebound! ” -cckeith

“ Nice action shot! ” -carthage44

Set: 1988 Topps (Rate)

Card: #123 Tom Candiotti


“ Have 2 complete sets of 88 Topps and have a 5000ct monster box full of duplicates. Nothing like having some extras. ” -addysdaddy

“ Love 80s Topps stuff. ” -captkirk42

“ I like this set more now than I did in 1988. Candiotti is a card collector who owned the famous Gretzky/McNall T206 Wagner at one time. ” -switzr1

“ At first, I was going to say "My least favorite 1980s Topps design." Then I thought about it - and 1986, 1982, and 1989 popped in my head - and 1984 was too much of a repeat of 1983. So, this winds up being in the middle of the pack. Sad. Boring design, and no position on front. Oh, how I dislike that. ” -vrooomed

“ These were some of my first cards. FLASHBACK! ” -carthage44


Monday, August 31, 2015

Set: 1995 Select Certified - Mirror Gold (Rate)

Card: #81 Royce Clayton


“ Several things: Great scan! Well-marked parallel. Stats indicate this was obviously pre-Interleague play. (I miss those days.) Considering this release was in addition to other releases by the same company, I can understand the different way of reporting stats (and the fact that it only shows the one year). ” -vrooomed

“ Very poor attempt here by Pinnacle. ” -carthage44

“ Another 90s product I don't like. ” -captkirk42


Sunday, August 30, 2015

Set: 2007 Topps Turkey Red (Rate)

Card: #164 Jorge Posada


“ I like this design. It looks old while still having a modern depth of field. The border looks three dimensional but I don't believe it is. Really well done effort by Topps here. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ I actually really like the Turkey Red Sets.They are not overdone design wise.Write ups on the back are well done too. ” -uncaian

“ Looks like s straight up picture frame you would hang on the wall. ” -carthage44

“ The original 1911 Turkey Red T3 Cabinets are beautiful. These "retro rip-offs"...NOT!! By the way Topps, this design was used for boxing not baseball. And stop using other company's designs. ” -C2Cigars

“ why? yuck! ” -SaveDaKid

“ I like Turkey Red. Don't like horizontal or Landscape cards but it works for this one. ” -captkirk42


Saturday, August 29, 2015

Set: 1991 Topps The Addams Family (Rate)

Card: #41 Shocking Experiment


“ I know I saw this movie, but I have absolutely no memory of it. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ One of the better movie sets; decent graphics on front and colorful, back with awesome description. ” -SFC Temple

“ I actually like this card it's ooky,kooky & just a little spooky! ” -uncaian

“ I have an unopened box of these, but as I have never seen the movie, I won't open until I do. Gut feeling, with my love for the original series, is that I will be disappointed with the movie! ” -bkklaos

“ dadadadun *snap* *snap* dadadadun *snap* *snap* adadadadun, dadadadun, dadadadun. The Adams Family Love it. Still think Christina Ricci is hot. ” -captkirk42


Friday, August 28, 2015

Set: 2004 Topps (Rate)

Card: #342 Ben Watson


“ Front is ok but needs more color. Looks like it was designed with the purpose of making pointless color parallels. Back looks good, except I HATE the use of Blue Devils/Bulldogs in the stats instead of college names. Too many crossover nicknames for this to be useful. ” -switzr1

“ Love/Hate this early 00s design. I think it the cards were on a regular cardboard stock rather than the modern bleached thinner card stock, I would probably like it more. The design is simple but I hate the the player name font it seems to "computerized". I like the little figure off to the side sort of a tribute to the 1971 Topps Football. ” -captkirk42

“ That Pats uni is timeless, but not as good as Pat Patriot. ” -jlaz10

“ I liked Topps Mid 2000s sets. This one I especially like. ” -Colts12

“ Poor design. ” -carthage44
