Set: Choice Tri-City ValleyCats (Rate)

Card: #18 Johnny Sewald


“ I like seeing the knockoff designs choice uses...especially interesting when they copy a non-baseball set, which I have seen in the past. I wish Choice would move more into my sports, because I like what they do. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ ...looks like a '74T card. ” -RoundtheDiamond87

“ I kind of like the 1980 design, but not with the Photoshop baseball in the background. ” -olerud363

“ Hey, it's a 1974...er...2015 minor league card! ” -cckeith

“ NY-Penn League. I still don't know how Choice got away with using this design. (Unless Topps puts out Choice? Hmm.) As much a fan of MiLB sets as I am, this one has plenty of areas of improvement. I'm sure the rest of the comments will cover them all. The one plus I'll give it - it includes at least a year of college stats for someone with no pro experience, which is a lot better than most MiLB sets. ” -vrooomed

“ Nice, using the 1974 Topps design. They could lose that background though. ” -IfbBirdsCards

“ The backdrop is cool! ” -carthage44

“ Tri-City Valleycats from Troy, NewYork Houston Astros Single A Short Season Affiliate. Check out their website at www.tcvalleycats.com ” -jayoneill

“ Very nice card especially for the minors. This is even a lot better than many produced for the majors. ” -NJDevils

“ I love the design for a minor league team set. Then again, I love minor league baseball cards in general. ” -jasongerman9

“ The Front has that 1974 Topps Feel. ” -kirkscards

“ I do enjoy minor league cards. This one looks like it could have been a Fleer design from the late 80s or early 90s. ” -koloth42

“ Wow, a card from my local team. I go with my brother-in-law when he gets free tickets from his work. Of course I like the front, it's vintage 1974 Topps. Does Topps own Choice? Or is it just a blatant rip-off? While they were at it they should have copied the back design, also. ” -C2Cigars

“ The 1974 Topps Baseball design used to be one of my most favorite designs.Then Topps started over using past designs in anniversary, tribute and archives sets. Now minor league teams using the older designs. I wonder if Topps could sue Choice cards for using the front design? The back looks nothing like the old 74 set which is a good thing.The back looks like a typical Panini or UD back. ” -captkirk42

“ I like the back, and I like the original Topps 74 Baseball design that this might have tried to borrow. But for some reason I don't care for the front here. Font, maybe? The red color? Not sure. ” -kents_stuff

“ Ok the 74 Topps/OPC rip off I can actually get behind, nice vintage design, but what the HE double hockey sticks is going on in the background? It is like the opening scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Run Johnny! A giant baseball is trying to crush you! Run! ” -rmpaq5

“ 1974 Topps look on a minor league card. Did they have to pay Topps for the design or is Choice a Topps brand? ” -muskie027

“ Sad that the front image wasn't cropped properly before being uploaded but I love the retro Topps design of the layout. ” -UKboogie

I'm a big fan of this one just because of the team.  I can walk to their stadium!  Go Cats!
