Sunday, July 1, 2012Set: 1995 Pacific Crown Royale (Rate) “ Worst use of foil I've seen yet. ” -socialgarbage “ How do you store these cards? ” -addysdaddy |

Saturday, June 30, 2012“ It looks like Felix is forming himself to the contour of the card. ” -sascards67 “ Ah yes, one of the Cowboys' Running Backs By Committee. ” -bigsmooth |

Friday, June 29, 2012Card: #231 Phillies Rookies (Mark Davis, Bob Dernier, Ozzie Virgil) “ This was the first card set I ever collected. ” -addysdaddy “ 1982 was when rookie hoarding began in earnest. You could buy "cut cases" (kinda like vending cases without the nice blue boxes) at the end of the season from dealers, break them down, and sell stacks of 100 of various players. So there were people out there who bought this card by the hundreds, thinking that one of the players would make it big. Despite a couple of useful years by Dernier and a Cy Young season by Davis, the card amounts to kindling now. ” -PlayerPCCollector “ Not a bad card really when you consider that all three had at least a little success at the big league level. ” -sascards67 |

Thursday, June 28, 2012Set: 1988 Donruss Baseball's Best (Rate) “ Orange? Orange!?! Dude! ” -sascards67 “ I remember buying this set at a Kroger store in '88. I thought it looked a lot better than the base design especially the back of the card. ” -addysdaddy “ How can we make the 88 Donruss design worse? Orange border instead of blue. ” -suomibear8 “ I like the image on the card, but that border is AWFUL. ” -wamk “ The colors are pretty lousy, the position isn't flattering...good player, though. ” -wmcduff “ Very creative Donruss! Let's change the border color and call it something else! ” -bigsmooth “ I much preferred this orange scheme to the base blue. Donruss sure knew how to make an ugly card, but at least the puzzles were fun. ” -socialgarbage |

Tuesday, June 26, 2012“ Its like a banner being towed behind an airplane. ” -addysdaddy “ What this card doesn't show is the ump ringing him up for a strikeout. Nice job Bip. ” -bigsmooth |

Monday, June 25, 2012Set: 2005-06 Upper Deck Hardcourt (Rate) “ It looks like he's fallen on the floor and can't get up. ” -wmcduff “ I'm by no means a fan of this sport, but I really like this card design! ” -socialgarbage “ Why did they crop out Brian Scalabrine blocking his shot? ” -bigsmooth “ Is LeBron laying on his back as he shoots? Sure looks that way with the camera angle and the card design. Would be a tough shot in a game of "H-O-R-S-E"! ” -wamk “ This would be a very pretty card if Upper Deck would have edited out eh "ghost" hands in the background. ” -sascards67 |

Sunday, June 24, 2012“ Get your mind out of the guetter....MAN! ” -bigsmooth |

Saturday, June 23, 2012Set: 2000-01 Pacific Paramount (Rate) “ Milan is one of only 2 active NHL players who were drafted by the Quebec Nordiques. The other is Bruins' goaltender Tim Thomas. Neither Hejduk nor Thomas ever played an NHL game for the Nordiques. ” -Quintessence |












“ He has that "so-so" outlook on his season with the Sox. ” -addysdaddy
“ Just another one of the many nobodies in baseball history ” -Hollywood42
“ Remember when everyone was excited by Greenwell and Burks and the other young players the Red Sox had in the late 80's and early 90's? Plantier was a decent player but way over-hyped. ” -sascards67
