Random Card of the Day

So much to say about this. More about the comments than the card though. I liked the team checklists from the 90's, not for the cash value but for the info value. Those sets were up to 900 cards and the regular CL's just told the card # and player name. I will always think of Willie as a Cardinal too, but he also did pretty good in SF. The first few years of UD were easily distinguished by looking in the UD logo on front. The year is right there in the logo. I do like how everyone (except Topps) is now making it easier to find out what year/set the cards you pull are from. That is one thing that was always good about Fleer/Skybox and Pacific. I'm glad more companies make sure that you know what you have in your hand. If only Topps would do that with their cards, especially the reprint inserts they've pumped out the past several years!

When I read comments on the forum from people struggling to piece together an accurate checklist for the website, I think about how easy this was to do in the days where the checklist cards were a part of the set.  I think I still marked on mine through the 1986 season.  1987 was when condition first became important to me, apparently.
