Random Card of the Day

Year: 2000

Set: Upper Deck MVP - Silver Script (Rate)

Card: #15 Ben Grieve


“ Ben Grieve is on fire. He just had card of the day while ago. How many cards he has in database? ” -Duke

“ Classic hitter's pose, but not a classic card. The design looks like a generic attempt from a George Orwell wannabe from the 50's predicting what the 21st century would be like. ” -Sportzcommish

“ Wow, two Ben Grieve basic Upper Deck parallels in three days! Can this go on Admins coincidence list? ” -rmpaq5

“ Wow, another Ben Grieve. Overrated prospect. ” -carthage44

“ Hey, good for Ben to get two RCOTD in a week! ” -Brimose

“ Didn't we just have a Ben Grieve card recently? Popular fella. ” -sahal694

“ I think I have voiced my dislike for the Upper Deck MVP sets. This one looks like it was inspired by computer circuit boards or old fashioned data punch cards. Oddly the foil lettering on this card can be read in this scan. Don't like the vertical lettering at least you can read the player name and team name with little problem. Back a bit messy and more of that circuit punch card look. Blah. ACK card number is vertical. ” -captkirk42

“ Another Ben Grieve card; we just had one of these! This card is way too busy for me; too much going on. Always did like the silver signature parallels on Upper Deck products though. ” -jasongerman9

“ More Ben Grieve parallel goodness! He certainly had a lot of hype, but I wouldn't say he was a total bust. 1998 ROY, solid hitter but couldn't get out of his own way in the field. ” -tenlbpain

“ Hey, we just had Ben Grieve on 8 Feb. No matter what the sport, Upper Deck MVP gets the "thumbs down". ” -C2Cigars

“ Wow, Ben Grieve is HOT this month!!! Let's see, in this version, I am left dizzy as there is WAY too much going on. An Oakland here, and MVP there, a Silver Script here, a name there, an auto in the bottom middle, a position by the knee, another MVP across the shins, some etching at the bottom. And there is still more. Somehow, they got the player to pop and stand out, so I give them credit for that. The back is mediocre. Overall, I think way too much is going on in this card. ” -muskie027

“ Benny boy's been getting the MVP treatment lately... ” -DarkSide830

“ Decent design, seems to have some wasted space ” -hphillips

Yay for Ben Grieve! He went to my High School (Martin in Arlington, Texas) and graduated the year after I did. Still remember watching him play in 1993 when they won the State Championship. Two major leaguers came out of that team: Ben and former Montreal Expo Matt Blank.

Turning off trading because my collection is in complete disarray after moving and I don't know when I can get it organized.

This might be my favorite of the MVP designs. Certainly better than those fugly black borders they came up witn in 2002!
