Card: #23 Alex Gonzalez


“ Wait...isn't that a Topps design on the front? ” -Billy Kingsley

“ This is the guy that caused the Cubs to implode during the 2003 NLCS because of his fielding error. It's very sad that Cubs fans still blame Bartman when they should be blaming this guy because he couldn't field a routine ground ball in the 8th inning and the Cubs would have avoided the historic collapse. ” -carthage44

“ Don't have to worry about dripping mustard on the back of this card ” -NJdevils

“ Upper Deck Vintage The Original Archives LOL. When they first came out I hated them, I was in an anti-reprints, anti-retro look phase of my collecting. Now I love them. ” -captkirk42

“ The Blue Jays try with red didn't work out as well as planned. ” -jlaz10

“ One of the many design re-makes...this of the 1971 Topps set. I like the 71 set design, but this is so clean compared to the 71. ” -suomibear8

Topps on the front, Donruss on the back... I wonder if there were any uprisings from either company about this design

This is a complete rip-off of 1971 Topps, using the 1971 OPC color (or should that be colour) on the back. And they put the team/name/pos on the front at the bottom instead of the top. I don't know how they could get away with that really.
