Random Card of the Day

Year: 2000

Set: Pacific (Rate)

Card: #173 Luis Castillo


“ Why the big area for the washed out copy photo of the front? ” -Kaline6

“ Not too bad, but there isn't enough emphasis on the stats on the back. Hard to read and way too small. Less emphasis on the photos would be nice, especially given this is the "flagship" product for the Pacific brand. if they wanted to do something like this for Revolution or Invincible, fine. ” -vrooomed

“ How little real estate can we occupy on the back of the card, and still fit everything in? ” -dilemma19

“ Nice card I like it. At least the front is readable, not super easy but better than most from this time period and even modern cards. Back I was going to say was pretty good, except too much blank space a player bio (oops just noticed there is a short one on the bottom) or highlights would be nice, heck even a cartoon/comic strip would work. ” -captkirk42

“ Pacific sets always gave you a large volume of cards/players which was nice. ” -carthage44

“ Pacific, so underrated. Great company. Miss 'em. ” -wax_house

“ Any card whose back is 50% or more blank is at least slightly awful. ” -DarkSide830

“ Front's good. The back is debatable. That big white fading front picture. I guess it's filled with more stats for veteran players, but it looks and feels empty. ” -JimStaub

“ This is another sad stock photo. Washed out and not cropped. Not sure what is going on with the back in that large faded area. ” -UKboogie

Great scan.  Not a fan of Pacific though.

The front is reminiscent of the 92 Donruss release without hte gradient bar... The back looks.. unfinished or maybe its an autograph area... who knows? Certainly could've been a better use of space.

ETA.. also not a big fan of the card number in the lower right.. when sorting or searchign a box, it makes it much more difficult.
