Set: 1991 Topps American Gladiators (Rate)

Card: #80 Gemini


“ I was a big fan of American Gladiators...I'd still watch if they were still on. When I was a little kid, I wanted to be one of the Gladiators. I had no concept of the show not still being on, let alone the realities of my health problems that would set in later. ” -Billy Kingsley
  4
“ I lol'd at "Geminites" ” -SteelYourFace
  3
“ Man I remember lazy Saturday afternoons watching American Gladiators. Lace was my first teenage crush. The thing I remember most about Gemini is that he routinely would swat away contestants like flies when they swung at him on that Tarzan rope. ” -hiflew
  4
“ WOW! I am surprised that American Gladiators made the RCotD. I loved watching that show a "reality" Sports competition show before "Reality TV" became a thing. The original series (which is technically based on a UK show called "Gladiators") lasted several seasons and in later years there have been a couple of attempts at a revival. In more recent years shows like "American Ninja Warrior" has some similarities with it being an athletic competition using obstacle courses. Gladiators has additional events that hone different skills and abilities not just speed and endurance. ” -captkirk42

“ Oh boy I feel threatened alright. ” -TwinKiller

“ Fun show back in the day! ” -Tscastle

Set: 1933 Flatbush Gum Noah's Ark (R100) (Rate)

Card: #NNO Polar Bears


“ Not bad for a nonsport issue. ” -Brendan Barrick
  1
“ Love those "facts" printed on the back. ” -hamrlik22
  3
“ Pete? Is that you? ” -domentho
  14
“ Nice Vintage Non-Sport. The gum company confused me for a second at first. I was wondering why they would include Polar Bears in a series about Noah's Ark. ” -captkirk42

“ RCoTD coincidence?! Exactly 78 years ago today, at the Arctic Open, the final score was Polar Bears 8, Seals 0. ” -Hawthorne61
  1
“ Bear 1, fish 0. ” -UKboogie
  2
“ I don't know that I have ever thought of a polar bear as "shaggy" but people didn't have a lot of experience seeing polar bears back then. ” -hiflew

“ Not sure why they made Noah's Ark trading cards, but I'm sure there's someone out there who collects these. ” -jdogg1228
  2
“ Too cool. ” -freakizon

“ Very cool classic card ” -pugchump

“ I don't know why but I love this card! ” -TwinKiller

“ If you collect this set do you have to have doubles of each card to complete it? ” -righthook
  8
“ This is awesome! ” -muskie027


Sunday, June 26, 2022

Set: 2012 Topps Allen & Ginter - Mini (Rate)

Card: #305 Wilin Rosario


“ A&G is a cool set baseball wise, but I was never a fan of those dumb inserts that have nothing to do with baseball. ” -jdogg1228
  2
“ A&G mini. I still like these cards but since modern A&G has been going on for 16 years and the minis are a parallel not just a small insert set I grew tired of them a few years back and don't desire them as much as I once did. ” -captkirk42
  1
“ Don't like minis ” -pugchump
  4


Saturday, June 25, 2022

Set: 1994-95 Classic - Tri-Cards (Rate)

Card: #T25 / T26 / T27 Jason Podollan / Ed Jovanovski / Chris Armstrong


“ I hadn't seen this insert yet, I didn't know they did these in hockey too. I don't care for this style of card although the design itself is fine. ” -Billy Kingsley
  2
“ Has a cool look to it. ” -muskie027
  1
“ Nice looking multi-player card. I was going to ask if we ever had multiplayer cards as the RCotD but then I remembered of course there have to have been for some of the vintage team Rookies cards and the 1970s 4 Position Rookies cards. It was the trio thing that was throwing me off and made me think multi-player. The classic 2 player Team Rookie cards or League Leaders type cards for some reason I don't consider "multi" player since it is just a pair or a Duo. ” -captkirk42
  1
“ How many people here cut these types of cards? ” -TwinKiller

“ This is a nice card. Classic did issue some nice sets. ” -Brendan Barrick

“ Why is the text on the back not about the players pictured? Except for the third guy? ” -pugchump

Set: 1984 Topps Traded - Limited Edition (Tiffany) (Rate)

Card: #87T Al Oliver


“ Back is fantastic! It has nearly everything you'd ever want to see on a card back. The front is a decent design but Topps had better designs in the years before this and a few afterwards. I still like that it has an action photo, a headshot, name, team and position though. BTW, "Tiffany" cards are super-glossy versions of the regular Topps cards. Just had to add that info since it is a common question from everyone that was not collecting cards in the 1980's. The backs were also obviously-whiter cardboard than other Topps products. ” -spazmatastic
  4
“ I like this card design. Basic. ” -freakizon
  3
“ Highly underrated. Lifetime .303 hitter, 2700+ hits, 7 time all-star. Lasted only one year on the HOF ballot - not that I am saying he deserved to be a HOFer, but definitely deserved more love than one and done. ” -Tscastle
  10
“ Nice 1980s card. Interesting how they had to number it as Topps Traded cards were usually numbered "T#" where as this is "#*T" because it is Tiffany. ” -captkirk42

“ I sure remember these cards and again Topps had the ugliest card of the year behind Donruss & Fleer. These cards today probably aren't worth the money it took to print them. I haven't seen or heard of Al Oliver in years. I liked him and always thought he was a really good player! ” -tinyshogun
  2
“ 1982 batting champion. Classic card design. ” -pugchump

“ Known for his best work as "TC", the strong arm Helicopter pilot sidekick of Thomas Magnum in the hit 80's series Magnum PI. ” -parsley24

Set: 1989-90 Topps (Rate)

Card: #13 Dave Barr


“ Love this set! Back in 2015 I wasn't watching hockey but a friend sent me a bunch of hockey cards... actually a couple friends...I ended up getting over 2000 in one day. This set was included, as well as the O-Pee-Chee version, and when I became a hockey fanatic the next year I learned a lot from reading these cards. My favorite way to learn about hockey history is to read cards. ” -Billy Kingsley
  11
“ I like this card. I am not a hockey fan or a hockey card collector, but I could see myself going after this set should I ever become one. ” -hiflew
  3
“ I like this card vey much. ” -Brendan Barrick
  2
“ Nice late 1980s Topps Hockey card. Dave's last name of Barr reminded me of JIM Barr of MLB Baseball fame who I have a few cards of (at least 7 that I have cataloged here who knows how many others I have.) ” -captkirk42

“ No doubt at first glance this was late 80s/early 90s Topps card. I find this card to be rather sleepy! ” -tinyshogun

“ Nice card, despite the yellow seeing a bit putrid . . . Pretty much an overuse of color overall, but it nonetheless looks like a nice card . . . ” -georgecf

“ I love when it is a set I collected. Not the most eye appealing set, but a fun one to collect nonetheless. ” -muskie027


Wednesday, June 22, 2022

Set: 2012 Grandstand Brevard County Manatees (Rate)

Card: #NNO Eric Marzec


“ A card labeled as NNO that actually ISN'T numbered! How rare and unusual! ” -Billy Kingsley
  1
“ Good logo bad card ” -ThatGuyInShorts
  1
“ Every time I hear manatee, I think of Barbara Manatee! ” -Tscastle
  5
“ I love minor league cards. Too bad the majority of them carry no value. This card has a decent appearance. ” -tinyshogun

“ Not a bad design for a minor league card, except for that horrifically ugly font on the back ” -pugchump
  1
“ Nice Minor League Card. ” -captkirk42

“ I look forward to grabbing my local minor league team card set every year. ” -tmild

“ WHO? ” -DHSouthpaw
  1
“ Typical MiLB card. The fonts, however, are terrible. ” -BigBoyOnWheels
  1
“ Good action shot. Minor league cards have come a long way since the 70's portraits they did. And also the stats are pretty good. ” -Bassbunny22

“ Odd photo that makes him looks like a pitching dwarf. He's actually 5'11" but looks like he is 3'11". I apologize to all dwarves out there if I offended. ” -hiflew
  1
“ Good looking minor league card. Great spot for a signature on the front. ” -pjdionne12


Tuesday, June 21, 2022

Set: 2003 Upper Deck (Rate)

Card: #190 Travis Henry


“ Travis Henry Sunday? Never heard of him. ” -SteelYourFace
  3
“ Nice looking set. Foil lettering can be difficult to read as one ages. ” -captkirk42
  2
“ I like football cards. I wish there was a separate Random Card of the Day exclusively for football cards. Travis Henry had two great seasons rushing the ball for Buffalo. I need to add card #200 Jeremy Shockey SS from this set to my collection. Thank you. ” -freakizon
  1
“ This is a very nice card. Nice action shot on the front. The back is well done with the team's log being prominent. ” -Brendan Barrick
  1
“ It looks miscut, but it isn't though. Bad front okay back. ” -BigBoyOnWheels

“ He at one point lead the league in number of kids. ” -Matt9975
  2
“ Now there is a blast from the past. He ran hard and was a fun Bill to watch during some down times. Always a fan of the Bills on RCOTD!!! Hay ay ay ay!!!! ” -muskie027

  5
“ Nice looking card! Upper Deck is way better than Topps!!! ” -tinyshogun
  3
“ He looks like that guy who peeks around the corner to see something that wasn't intended for him. ” -TwinKiller
  1
“ Hockey card with a professional headshot. ” -Matt9975

“ This card is kind of awkward. Good on ice photo, but that peering in Chris Hansen style from the side.... ” -parsley24
  2
“ I always love the cards that look like they could be album covers. ” -sahal694

“ This is an ok card. ” -Brendan Barrick

“ Nice card. Very reminiscent of Panini Aficionado, except even better. ” -hiflew
