Random Card of the Day

Year: 2000

Set: SkyBox Dominion - New Era (Rate)

Card: #16NE Rick Ankiel


“ Looks awkward with the dark background, but probably looks better in hand. And you may soon be collecting 2019 Ankiel cards. He sounds serious about his comeback attempt. I hope it happens! ” -switzr1

“ For a mirror foil card, thats actually a really good scan. I can actually see the design! ” -Billy Kingsley

“ I don't know why this card looks so dark. In hand it looks much better. So i will base it on that and give it a good grade. Probably a 9. One of the weirder stories in baseball history. A sure fire pitching prospect who suddenly couldn't throw strikes and came back several years later as a backup outfielder who did pretty well, most notably by hitting a playoff homer for the Braves. I believe i heard recently that he was attempting another comeback as a pitcher. ” -davidhandberry

“ Oh boy, a Rick Ankiel card. Since he was a National for sometime and I liked him I really should add this card to my wantlist. Since it has a foil background I can see very little of it in this scan. This is why I don't like foil backgrounds much or the use of foil at all. ” -captkirk42

“ Nice card, rainbow. ” -Kirbythedodger

“ I like the look against the black background. Very nice look. ” -parsley24

“ Hope it looks better in hand. It probably does. Nohing jumps out at me about this one though. ” -muskie027

That's because the entire front of the card (except Rick himself) is foil coated. They are actually really nice in-hand. The parallels look even better.
