Random Card of the Day |
Thursday, January 1, 2015Set: 1992-93 Parkhurst - Emerald Ice (Rate) “ Cool card. I like the green foil, and the logo is embossed enough to see it through the card- cool. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ Emerald Ice sounds pretty cool! ” -carthage44
“ The Caps had some beautiful sweaters. They tried to bring it back, but the Edge stripes just don't work. ” -jlaz10
“ I really liked the look of these cards when they first came out. Not much of a hockey fan though ” -Mike67
“ Ah, the Emerald Ice - the only difference was a patch of green foil on the front. What a great parallel. :( ” -vrooomed

Tuesday, December 30, 2014Set: 1991 Upper Deck - Team Logo Holograms (Rate) “ I love hologram cards. To me they are the best insert concept ever. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ Loved putting these stickers on my sports card binders. ” -carthage44
“ Inserts. Easy to find inserts. Just about the coolest things back in the day. ” -vrooomed
“ It looks like an X-ray of a Brewers logo... ” -suomibear8
“ NONE ” -PDIZZLE
“ Maybe down the road, we can start using animated GIFs for hologram and "Magic Motion" type cards. ” -DaClyde
“ Interesting how the ball seems to stay in one place, while the glove can move. ” -jlaz10

Monday, December 29, 2014Set: 1990 Topps - Glossy All-Stars (Rate) “ Hey, the camera's over here! ” -Billy Kingsley
“ Is he remembered more for his Hall of Fame baseball career or his run ins with the law? ” -carthage44
“ I loved the glossy All Star sets, even though the design never seemed to change from year to year. These were fun because they were inserted one per rack pack, and you could see who you were going to get. If you were going for a set, you wouldn't get any doubles, unless you bought the pack for one of the visible base cards. You could see five of those too. Of course a rack pack cost more than a dollar so I didn't buy them very often. Also, Kirby is looking a little slim here. ” -switzr1
“ One of the greats of his day, I actually bought tickets when the Twins came to Cleveland to see him play. Old Cleveland Stadium, Kirby was a joy to watch. ” -Gunny
“ Simply one of the best ever to play the game. And clutch, too. ” -vrooomed
“ The Twins M-script cap was nice, but shouldn't have ever been full-time. They should have kept the TC for at least home. ” -jlaz10

Sunday, December 28, 2014Set: 1997 Donruss Limited (Rate) Card: #138 Vladimir Guerrero / Jim Edmonds “ VLAD! I miss that guy. Definitely All-Name Team. ” -Howintensive
“ Vlad kind of dropped off the face of the earth real fast. Edmonds is a legit Cardinals legend despite playing only 8 of his 18 years there. I liked the concept of a 2-sided base set at the time. I suppose I still do. Something different; I gotta admire effort. ” -switzr1
“ Not a bad design. It looks like the front may be chrome? Also, where did the bat go on the back of the card? I see the nob, but no bat. It's probably straight back behind him, but it just looks funny. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ I miss the Expos existing. I don't really miss those Angels' unis. ” -duaned99
“ This was an interesting concept, which I know they used in hockey as well. The cards were nice, and only 1 real parallel. ” -vrooomed
“ Interesting two-in-one concept. Horrible Angels uni, by the way. ” -jlaz10
“ He looks like he is about to get rolled over by a giant boulder like in that scene from "Raiders of the Lost Ark." ” -revnorb
“ Another case of chrome/foil not scanning nearly as nice as it looks in real life. I scanned this card 7 or 8 times and this was the best I could get on the front. ” -jackal726
“ Not a fan of the dual player, front and back cards. ” -carthage44
