Random Card of the Day



Tuesday, May 10, 2016

Year: 2015-16

Set: Upper Deck Artifacts - Materials Silver (Rate)

Card: #27 David Backes


“ Cool dual relic. You'd think the St. Louis blues would wear a brighter blue than this, it looks almost black from the scan. Nice to see a current season card, and nice to see a relic with a real back- including stats! ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Upper Deck once again trying to do too much with the design. ” -carthage44

“ An OK to pretty good relics/GU card for those who like that sort of thing. Artifacts is usually a very good product. My stand on these things (relics aka game-used, event used or worn) is they are cutting up memorabilia into 1,000s of pieces just to glue onto cards. :( Unfortunately my will is weak as I do accept some of these cards of players I collect and my teams. Good to see this one is serial numbered. I think all relic cards should be serial numbered since there is a limit to how many tiny swatches of cloth, or rubber, or nylon whatever you can have. ” -captkirk42

“ If I were designing sports cards, I would probably rank the elements typically found on the front as follows: 1. Player name 2. Team name 3. Position 4. Uniform number 5. Card manufacturer name 6. Set and/or subset name The team name appears twice, which maybe adds a little extra weight, but I'd say there's a bit too much emphasis on "ARTIFACTS". I like the back. ” -dilemma19

“ Very slick patch card. Like that it actually has stats on the back and can, therefore, function as a standard trading card. ” -wax_house

“ Okay design BUT used the same picture on the back. If you are going to use 2 pictures, use 2 pictures -- not the same one twice. Also, I hate when you get "dual jerseys" and they are same thing. ” -cjjt

“ Backes is probably the most well-known MSU Mankato alumni to play in the NHL. Go Mavs! ” -duaned99

Please Please Please read my profile before making  a trade proposal.  My "wants" for my Cardinals collection is accurate from 1900 - 2008.  I still have about 12,000Plus Cardinals cards from 2009-present to sort through and enter.  Please do not offer any Cardinals cards from 2008-present unless you contact me first as there is a chance I already have it amongst the multitude to still go through. 

I still have about 30K Cardinals duplicates that are not yet entered in the database as FS/FT.

Ahhhh the Artifacts cards. I actually like them. Like the design, serial numbering and different versions.

My PC player has 14 different versions of this card in the set

ranfordfan loves these.

Upper Deck looks so premium. In the way that Benson & Hedges or Virginia Slims cigarettes look premium. Shiny and eye-catching. It makes you want pick up smoking....err....collecting....ahem.
