Year: 2016

Set: Topps Opening Day (Rate)

Card: #OD-126 Ian Kinsler


“ The 2016 design is a big let down after 2015, which I thought was a great design. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ It's a Tiger, it's a Topps. I like the 2016 edition. ” -Kaline6

“ First 2016? Nice action shot. Love those. ” -RoyalChief

“ Eek I'm getting used to the '16 design. I didn't like it at first but it is growing on me. Wish they would have they had sized things properly so the team logo actually fit into the corner triangle, the don't need it to be a fancy "picture frame corner bracket" triangle. Back is fine still miss the cartoons/comics though. Like the numbering has OD for opening day so when looking at just the backs of cards you can identify it from the flagship set. ” -captkirk42

“ I like the Opening Day sets. Best cards of the Series 1 and 2 Topps and it is feasible to collect a true master set. I could however, do without the variations and purple Toys R Us parallels. ” -CluelessJoe

“ Cool card. This picture is so good, they will probably reuse it in all their other 2016 issues. ” -switzr1

“ I love how they are adding WAR to the list of stats on the back of baseball cards. ” -carthage44

“ Great picture! ” -cjjt

Does this make the coincidences list?

A 2016 Opening Day card appearing as CotD during the week of 2016 Opening Day?

LOL!

I prefer the company of people who disagree with me for the right reasons over the company of those who agree with me for the wrong reasons.

  I am surprised that Topps doesn't have a "Closing Day" set.

Ian had a great opening day, hitting a 3 run homer and driving in the decisive run in the Tigers opener in Miami.

The Opening Day cards this year are actually quite good as far as images differing from their S1 counterparts. Still, I prefer 2015 cards in general to 2016.

And how does this guy get sooooooo much better on opening day, with the 3-run homer the other day, and look at the back of his 2013 topps base card. Talk about being excited for the begining of the season!

Every Topps set nowadays is almost identical. Can't anyone come up with some creative, fresh designs?
