Random Card of the Day |
Thursday, May 21, 2015Set: 1977 San Diego Padres Schedules (Rate) “ This is actually pretty cool,especially if you were a Padres dedicated fan. ” -uncaian
“ Great concept. Didn't know these existed. ” -vrooomed
“ For some reason I like those 70s Mustard and Brown uniforms much better than anything they have had since. The Gold and Blue the wear a lot now does not suit them I always think they are the Brewers in blue. ” -captkirk42
“ Cool card, you get a player and a list of the special events on the back. They should bring these back! ” -carthage44
“ So Glenn's just happy to be there, right? Oh wait, he's an actual player... ” -Mihome316
“ You can never have to many cards!!! ” -BIGPOPA4U2NV

Wednesday, May 20, 2015Set: 1993 Maxx Premier Plus (Rate) “ What year was this card made? ” -switzr1
“ What year is this??? ” -volbox
“ Nice run of NASCAR lately. Something nobody acknowledges, but Maxx actually had a Chrome card out around the same time - if not before- Topps did. Hot Wheels actually did beat Topps to the market with a Chrome card. Elliott would continue to win the Most Popular Driver award every year except 2001, when Dale Earnhardt won it posthumously, until Elliott retired from full-time competition. Dale Earnhardt Jr. has won it every year since. Elliott's son Chase became NASCAR's youngest champion last year when he won the 2nd level title in his first year. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ I think they need a few more 93's on the card just so everyone understands what year the card is, LOL! ” -carthage44
“ Why does this make me think Partridge Family? ” -captkirk42
“ Best photo of a chain link fence in the history of card collecting. ” -NJDevils
“ Are we positive this card is from '93? ” -ShoTime

Tuesday, May 19, 2015Set: 2005 Topps Updates & Highlights (Rate) “ I really should pick up this set. ” -captkirk42
“ I am glad baseball cards (Topps) finally changed the way their rookie cards are distributed. Cards like this one are distributed soon after being drafted. Jay Bruce has turned out well but so many other draft picks do not pan out yet their cards are still out there. They are worthless. ” -carthage44
“ In the red bar at the top it says he was drafted by the Braves (presumably an error), but in the text it says he was drafted by the Reds. ” -jackal726
“ The Reds black phase. Every team had one, but it just didn't work for the Reds. Their colors should be red and white, per the Big Red Machine. ” -jlaz10

Monday, May 18, 2015Set: 2008 Bowman Draft Picks & Prospects - Chrome Prospects (Rate) “ Whoa, that looks very pointy. I'd be afraid I'd take my eye out. ” -ShoTime
“ Say that name 5 times, really fast! ” -cckeith
“ Ugly design. Too much going on. Chrome cards are tough to scan, too. ” -suomibear8
“ One of the Bowman sets that made me Hate Bowman and Bowman Chrome. I don't hate them as much as I used to but for several years the Bowman Checklist is VERY DIFFICULT to decipher. I never can tell when a Prospect is a "Prospect" or a "Rookie Prospect". Don't make 3 and 4 level "subsets" that look EXACTLY ALIKE and then number them with confusing letter combinations that make little sense. Then to make matters worse each year you only subtly change the design so several years worth of sets blend together to confuse the average collector. ” -captkirk42
“ I like the design, and the scan is excellent, which is difficult to do with Chrome cards. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ Worst numbering system in the history of card collecting. Got rid of most of mine just so I wouldn't have to deal with it. ” -NJDevils
“ Does anyone collect Bowman? The only people I see buying Bowman are speculators and PC player completests. ” -jackal726
“ Whoever comes up with these Bowman designs needs to be publicly shamed! ” -mkaz80
“ Sorry to say, the back looks better then the front :(. Im just not big on this set. ” -engine614
“ The original templated BP top. Color loops around the armpits, piping up the shoulders. Began the MLB trend of institutionalized uniforms. ” -jlaz10
“ Pretty cool looking design, but man there are so many subsets! ” -Joshua825
“ Spitting out cards just because you can doesn't mean you should, Topps. ” -carthage44
“ Not a bad looking design. I'm not sure I have any cards from this set. I would suppose that there are dozens of parallel versions of this card. Or maybe they weren't going quite so overboard with parallels yet in 2008. ” -switzr1

Saturday, May 16, 2015Set: 1997 Playoff First & Ten (Rate) “ Playoff tried here and failed! ” -carthage44
“ Charlie, eyes on the ball. Nice use of Easter Egg colors on the front and back. ” -NJdevils
“ Eeah not sure about this card/set. The "digital" lettering and numbering might have been cool if this had been made about 10-15 years before but sigh it is a later years junk era when designs were terrible. ” -captkirk42
“ It's so odd to see a uniform from less than 20 years ago with sleeves that actually cover his shoulders. ” -jlaz10
“ Looks like a fumble about to happen ” -jackal726

Friday, May 15, 2015Set: 1997 Pacific Crown Collection - Silver (Rate) “ That look on his face on the back of the card says it all, about the Bengals and this set. Cheer up there buddy, it could have been worse. At least you weren't stuck playing for the Browns. ” -Id8jlb8666
“ I usually like the Pacific sets, this one though? Not so much. That is typical 1990s for you usually pretty good but a few awful designs. Most suffered with too much flashy silver or gold foil/leaf as does many sets today. ” -captkirk42
“ Solid all-around card. ” -carthage44
“ I feel like Pacific gets a bad rap. They released some really nice sets. ” -wax_house
“ I'd rather see all the stats lines. I really want ot like this set, but can't ” -SFC Temple
“ I bought tons of Pacific cards back in the 90s, but I do not remember this set design at all. ” -switzr1
“ Who? ” -EdTheStatMan

Thursday, May 14, 2015Set: 1992-93 Collect-A-Card Harley Davidson (Rate) “ Pretty lame to not have the card color scheme be black and orange like the H-D logo... ” -revnorb
“ Electra glide sounds like either a razor or lubricant. ” -Id8jlb8666
“ I miss the early 1990s, when everything got cards. I just added my first cards from this set in March of this year. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ Early 90s - A card for EVERYTHING. ” -vrooomed
“ Loud Harley's are the WORST! So annoying. Check out the South Park episode where they make fun of Harley drivers. It's so funny and true! ” -carthage44
“ Remember folks don't trash these 90s cards REcycle. LOL. OK lame joke but it was all I had for this. ” -captkirk42
“ This is cool, but where's my '72 Javelin with Pierre Cardin interior? ” -jackal726
“ Sounds like a new razor from Gillette. ” -DaClyde
“ I have two friends that ride, are huge Harley fans, and actually have one! I on the other hand don't even know how to ride (sadly)! ” -bkklaos
“ Really nice card. And the important thing is that it is not part of a baseball card set. Hear that Panini? ” -NJdevils

Wednesday, May 13, 2015Set: 1999 Pacific Aurora (Rate) “ Not a bad design all things considered, but I can't help feeling like this depicts Mike Sweeney getting savagely beaten by mini-Mike. ” -revnorb
“ Nice card, one I'll need to get. It needs more stats and doesn't list his position. ” -jupiterhill
“ Three different photos on the card are nice but other than that very weak. ” -carthage44
“ Of all the card companies that came and went in the Junk Wax Era of the 1990s Pacific was the king. I sort of wish they had survived. Not a bad looking card. ” -captkirk42
“ Aurora - Pacific's clone of Flair. Honestly, I didn't look at the description first, just the photos on the card, and thought it was a Flair card at first. I hope Fleer was compensated for their intellectual property. ” -vrooomed

Tuesday, May 12, 2015Set: 2001-02 Fleer Marquee - We're Number One Memorabilia (Rate) “ Quite a run of my scans lately, something I always happy about :) These cards are die cut in the shape of a giant 1 (obviously!), some of the text was printed with holofoil which my Canon scanner picks up as pure white. Over a white background it shows poorly, but over the silver border it is easily read. Allen Iverson was the first player drafted after I discovered the sport to have his jersey number retired, although two more have since received that honor in the last year or so. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ Cool card of one of my all-time favorites. Loved watching that guy play, even if it was for Philadelphia. ” -Id8jlb8666
“ Nice, a jersey card. And die-cut, too. "Practice!" ” -vrooomed
“ I wonder if this is really from a game.... or are we talkin' 'bout practice? ” -jupiterhill
“ "Practice?!?!" - A.I. ” -jackal726
“ Nice looking card but I am soooooooo tired of GU/memorabilia/relic cards with just a white (or gray) swatch. Also I am tired of these things not being serial numbered. OK so they made 10,000 of them (or how many little 1" squares you can get from a single uniform jersey) ” -captkirk42
“ To me, this is a cool card! Nice hit on CotD Billy! ” -bkklaos
“ We need more autograph and jersey cards up here. ” -carthage44
“ Wish I had one of these so I could sell it. ” -NJDevils
“ Plain. White. Swatch. Yawn. ” -mkaz80
