Random Card of the Day

“ I like the front, but not much of a fan of the back. ” -jupiterhill

“ Great card design. I always like seeing cards from 1984, the same year I was "issued". ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Lucky Pierre! I still remember those heady days early in his career when a local Pittsburgh radio station auctioned off a "Date with Pierre." He was, afterall, the local heart-throb for the ladies when the Penguins brought him into the club. ” -Gunny

“ Great player & this is a nice set.Yzerman & Barasso rookies!! ” -uncaian

“ The Rangers road blues were interesting that they read "New York" instead of the classic Rangers. ” -jlaz10

“ A great set. The back is just about perfect. ” -NJDevils

“ I bet what they fear is seeing some of the comments from those who hate non-sports cards (for some unknown reason!) ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Damn. You know what? No comment. Just no comment ” -Young Kilo

“ LOL... The original Brokeback Mountain!!! ” -SFC Temple

“ The answer to the question "How bad can a card look when we are producing the set as quickly as possible to capitalize on the popularity of a TV show?".. ” -wamk

“ Okay then ” -jlaz10

“ Who killed J.R.? ” -CluelessJoe

“ this has to be the rarest set in the world because I can't imagine anyone buying these cards ” -NJDevils

“ not touching this one with a 10 foot pole..... ” -Flcardtrader

“ I admit I was but a wee lad when Dallas was on, but I sure don't remember it seeming this cozy... ” -jackal726

“ I'm not recalling these players? Tom Landry with his hat off & a young Jerry Jones? And what were these two doing? Looks like they just got caught spooning! ” -SaveDaKid

“ Great design. It kind of reminds me of a 70s design, but 70s card designs were great so that is definitely a good thing. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Not calling Moyer old or anything. But word is he use to strike out Adam on a regular basis back in the day. In front of Eve ” -Young Kilo

“ Wasn't this the year he won the 'Julio Franco AARP Player-Member of the Year' award? ” -UNC_Samurai

“ If he could throw the knuckleball, he'd probably still be pitching. ” -DaClyde

“ There's something to be said for a guy like Moyer, who just pitches and pitches and pitches for years and years until the cleats get worn down and he's got to hang them up. ” -Luckynumber78

“ The color scheme on the front is awful. Hard to believe that the front is better than the back. I give this a "D-" ” -NJDevils

“ The Mariners uniforms are great, but would look better in their old blue and gold scheme. ” -jlaz10

“ Since I tend to have a soft spot for lefty pitchers, IU graduates, and the Cubbies, Moyer was one of my favorite pitchers to watch. Despite having a fastball that might not be fast enough to get a ticket in a school zone, and being overshadowed his rookie season by some guy named Maddux,he pitched in the major in 4 decades. ” -SYTopps

“ Pretty nice card design. Very nice person on it. ” -vrooomed

“ Very interesting. The faux newspaper always looks good. I can honestly say I've never heard of this set...or brand, even...before right now. Just another reason to love the Database, learning new stuff! ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Nice RCOTD - I had never heard of this set, probably because of the non-standard size. Looks like a real nice set to own. ” -vrooomed

“ Brings back memories! It was a different type of card back then. A set that looked like newspapers, date and all. It was rough collecting two different sets back then, money was scarce even if the packs were only a nickel and Topps had the "penny packs" too. ” -NJDevils

“ Oh, how much has changed in baseball cards. ” -jlaz10

“ Any day that the Yankees lose is automatically a good day ” -Hollywood42

“ Love the classics! What a great set! ” -flcardtrader

“ After losing the NBA license after 1981-82, this was the first Topps set after they got the license back. It also had the first parallel in NBA card history. It was also the first set where Topps listed league leaders in the stats on the back of the cards, something they did until they lost the license during 2009-10. Mr. Green was not a league leader, in fact, he was a rookie so had no league stats, it's hard to spot but there is a gold foil 92 Draft Pick over his left leg. I always liked the Magic pinstripes, they are wearing them as retro jerseys now. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Pinstripes! ” -jlaz10

“ Great back, easy to read. Decent front though I would like a team logo ” -NJDevils

“ I am litterially too impressed with this card of the day. ” -Luckynumber78

“ I'm imagining that he is going up for a dunk and is going to come up way short and fail miserably. ” -Hollywood42

“ no thought, no logo... just keep pumping em out, ppl will buy them ” -SFC Temple

“ Topps Exec: "Hey, I have an idea. Let's use the same exact design for all 4 sports!" Rest of committee: "What a great idea, boss! Wow, why didn't we ever think of that?" I can tell you why - it's boring. Boring as HECK. At least the BACK is a little different. ” -vrooomed

“ Sometimes i wonder where people come up with their kid's names... This Topps set was somewhat uninspiring to me back in the day.. ” -lyfestory

“ This was the card most likely to show up when you thought you finally had a pack with the Shaq Rookie. ” -SYTopps

“ Really good scan for a Chroma card! Scanning chrome and Finest cards is not something I particularly enjoy, although better than doing mirror foils. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Not a huge fan of the "Rookie Day" poses. If they are going to do poses for football cards, they should go back to the old poses ala '60 Fleer Bill Atkins. Now THERE is a pose! ” -SFC Temple

“ They at least could have put the team name letters in footballs instead of basketballs. My declining interest in football is demonstrated by the fact that I have never heard of this 1000 yd rusher (I had to look that up). ” -NJDevils

“ You feared facing the team that had him in fantasy football this past season (and I had him on none of my three teams)! He was a stud! ” -bkklaos

“ I've always liked how Topps has recently put both their baseball and football sets in the same design. ” -jlaz10

“ I'm a sucker for alternatingly-colored lettering, circa 1959-60...i guess the white letters in the alternatingly colored circles is the modern extension of that. One of the rare card designs of the last 30 years i actually kinda like. ” -revnorb

“ I know this is only 1 card from the set, but I like the 2008 Chrome baseball set much more ” -Hollywood42

“ Is this this city's rookie card? ” -revnorb

“ Slowly becoming a fan of movie cards... especially ones like this. Love the pic. ” -SFC Temple

“ Not a movie I'd watch, but the skyline shot is kinda cool. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ That is a cool skyline picture! ” -Dixxy

“ Looks like Downtown Detroit after the demons moved in. Didn't realize Hellboy had a set of cards. ” -Mihome316

“ Hellboy = Hellcard ” -NJDevils

“ New York, New York? ” -jlaz10

“ .................................. .......................hahaha....... .................................... ..........Hellboy.........oh dear, what do I know..... ” -SaveDaKid

“ I like the big team name, although the silly-looking "TM" symbol makes things look a bit cheesier than necessary. I'm not sure about the two curvy white areas with the "P" and the "#25" in them, what are those supposed to be, Buckminster Fuller's geodesic domes? ” -revnorb

“ Some of these minor league teams have great names. I like this one's moose logo, although not as much as the Richmond Flying Squirrels! ” -Billy Kingsley

“ "Well as owner of this team AND a decorative gravel company, I say we call the team the Blue Rocks!" ” -DaClyde

“ Very well done front. Give this designer a bonus! ” -NJDevils

“ Nice to have a Blue Rocks card as the Card of the Day. Though I must admit, I only know them because they are a Royals affiliate. Sadly, I have also never heard of this guy, so I need to find out more about him. ” -jupiterhill

“ Nice minor league uni, but its interesting how the contrast sleeves are built in to the body. ” -jlaz10

“ I really didn't like the "retro" cards for a long time, but I've done a complete 180 on them. A&G and GQ are two of my favorite lines now. ” -jackal726

“ Gypsy Queen looks best with a coloured border. This looks like the cheap imitation it is, whereas colour masks the vintage (or lack thereof) of these cards. ” -Luckynumber78

“ I never really liked the Nats arched wordmark. Their script one is so much better. ” -jlaz10

“ I know this goes back too far for most of you but to paraphrase Clara Peller: "where's the back, where's the back"? ” -NJDevils

“ Baseball's most over paid player ” -Young Kilo

“ Gypsy Queen...the set where Topps jumped the shark. Every year, I ask myself, why, why, why? ” -flcardtrader

“ Looks like a giant-sized Patrick Ewing landing on the head of a tiny-sized Scott Skiles. This probably resulted in the brain damage that made Skiles think that the Bucks head coaching job was a good idea. ” -revnorb

“ I just finally completed the base set of these this week, although the majority of the regional issues still elude me. Ewing was great in his prime, but at the end, before the Knicks traded him to Seattle, his idea of defense was to stand there and wave his arms at the ball flying over his head, something that a short time previously he would have jumped up and blocked or stolen. It was pretty comical to see. This card was in his prime, when the Knicks were always a contender. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Nice front of card. Action shots in basketball are great because you get to see other players in the photo. The back of the card is not great because I have to twist my wrist to turn it sideways, then if you do that, the number is sideways. ” -NJDevils

“ Patrick Ewing was so good that he would actually give birth to other basketball players! ” -bplay24

“ Patrick Ewing is a BIG man and looks twice the size of the two Magic guys in the paint. ” -flcardtrader

“ If I saw this card from his waist down, I would think this is a volleyball card ” -Hollywood42

“ The Knicks never looked good with black in their color scheme. When you think New York Knicks, you think blue and orange. ” -jlaz10

“ at what point do they just give up when selecting pics to use for cards... at this point, I suppose ” -SFC Temple
