Random Card of the Day

Year: 2004

Set: Topps Tribute HOF (Rate)

Card: #17 Reggie Jackson


“ Well... I think that picture represents Reggie pretty well. His swing was pretty memorable and this captures it. ” -Splinter_9

“ I like it...the large 1993 seems to be denoting that he was elected to Cooperstown in 1993...Not having ever seen any of these in person, by the scan it appears to be done using Refractor technology, which means it's a great looking card in person. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Beautiful card. The only issue I have and it is a minor issue is I don't understand why they need 1993 on the front twice. ” -davidhandberry

“ My favorite player as a kid. ” -deporcoruña

“ I didn't know Topps Tribute went back this far. ” -carthage44

“ Classic. Is there anything better than Reggie in Ray bans with a home run swing. Very good looking card. ” -parsley24

“ That's a good looking card, and that swing is not so bad either. ” -Doe MG

“ Not bad. Reminds me of a 1986 Topps Team Leaders card because of the white. I’ve never seen one in hand, but it looks like there may be a holofoil effect or something. ” -muskie027

“ This is a nice card design. I like both the front and back photos, as well as the blurb. It's as white as a hockey card, but there isn't much else to complain about. ” -dilemma19

“ Nice Topps Tribute card. A set that is better for these retired players and not the current players. Many may love Reggie in the Yanks pinstripes but I am still partial to his original A's greens and the one year he wore the black and orange for the O's. ” -captkirk42

“ Reggie Jackson was still playing in 1993? ” -beansballcardblog

“ Nice cards. Really like the feathered border of the picture. ” -KMack

“ Nice card ” -cjjt

Clean crisp looking card of "Mr. October" launching another one deep with his iconic swing.

A very nice card (and set) that has meaning with their HoF induction year on the front.  This is a set I would gladly collect in an era where they are few and far between.

As somebody mentioned in the original comments about the card, he was also my favorite player, right up until I met him.
