“ Kind of interesting to see Sid wearing the "A" instead of the "C" on his sweater. Speaking of sweaters, I always liked how this version made use of the skating penguin and the pigeon-like penguin on the shoulders. ” -Gunny
" I'm whinner my mommy says I'm special.....I won the cup even though so that makes me a winner.....wah.....wah....I have more Stanley Cup titles than Eric Lindros my idol of being the biggest whinner in NHL history " -I HATE CROSBY
“ Interesting that they include a pronunciation chart on the back of the card. Some players have complex names that aren't pronounced as they are written so I could see that being very handy. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ Looks like he's skating thru the halls of the rebel ship that Darth Vader and the stormtroopers board in the opening scene of Star Wars. ” -revnorb

Thursday, June 5, 2014Set: 1993 Finish Line NHRA - Speedways (Rate) Card: #T-10 Saniar Int'l Dragway “ Off the top of my head this is the first drag racing card to ever make Card of the Day! As is pretty well known, I love auto racing...but I never really got into drag racing, despite the fact that my father did it, albeit before I was born. I prefer my races to last longer than 15 seconds, I suppose. I do watch it several times a year, and have a decent sized stash of cards and a small sized collection of 1/64 diecast replicas, however. As for the card itself, this was a great idea for an insert. I wish it had caught on, as tracks have changed a lot since 1993. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ Looks like an airport. ” -jlaz10

“ Thisis a pretty nice set.It's a shame Panini won't be doing anymore hockey.Palat had a pretty decent first year with T.B. ” -uncaian

Sunday, June 1, 2014Set: 2005 Topps Wacky Packages All-New Series 2 (Rate) “ Speechless, do people actually buy these? ” -carthage44
“ (after browsing the rest of the set) I'd put this one in the trash, no questions asked. ” -volbox
“ I sense the 50's, 60's, and 70's making a comeback with their phoney funnies and puzzle back connections now... "All new series..." Saw it over 30 years ago, Topps. Thanks for playing!!! Besides that... COOL CARD and I WANT THE SET!!!! ” -Dixxy
“ I have no idea why these are popular...or even exist. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ If you're a child of the 70s, like I am, you know the impact Wacky Packages had back in the day. There has never been a non-sport issue- not Garbage Pail Kids, not Mars Attacks, not Star Wars- that caused such a commotion with kids. When each new series came out, it was like a holiday in my hometown of Garwood, NJ. In fact, Wacky Packages OUTSOLD baseball cards for a good portion of their 1973-75 run. This sticker (yes, they're stickers, and there wasn't a stop sign or school desk back in the day that wasn't adorned with a Wacky Pack) is part of the new run which began in 2004. And yes, my kids collected them- in spite of the fact I could never get them into collecting baseball cards long-term. ” -Dave Sosidka
“ Wow...I thought you were baseball, baseball, and baseball! Glad to see you branching out and I love it! Cheers! ” -bkklaos
“ I remember these! ” -jlaz10
“ There are no words.... ” -suomibear8
