Random Card of the Day



Friday, July 15, 2016

Year: 2007

Set: Upper Deck Spectrum (Rate)

Card: #90 Mike Piazza


“ He looks like he is throwing to second from the stage of "Dance Fever." ” -rmpaq5

“ That weird moment when the guy you've always booed ends up on your team. ” -volbox

“ Another card where I like the back more than the front. I am not sure but it looks like the card may be holofoil, which means it would look better in person. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ It's a new sport: Baseball played on a stack of cubes like the video game 'Q-Bert'. Piazza spent a season with the Padres...I learn something new every day! ” -dilemma19

“ What the...They ruined an otherwise great action shot by making it look like he's playing inside a fancy office building or mall. At first I thought it was a Marvel or Star Trek card. ” -Doc Floyd

“ Rare Piazza in a Padres uniform card. ” -carthage44

“ Not a huge fan of this set, or sets like Spectrum. Hard to read his last name, odd action pose for them to pick, actually the pose isn't odd it is the angle we are seeing it from. Not to mention that Piazza as an Athletic looks odd used to seeing him as Dodger or Met, Dodger I think more so. Back is OK but maybe use some of the extra space that was put up top for a short mini-bio or a few career highlights. ” -captkirk42

“ All I can say is that I'm pretty sure this looks a lot better in person. ” -vrooomed

“ Looks like someone put a McFarlane figure in a store window ” -NJdevils

“ It's ugly as heck, but I can dig any Piazza Padres card. I love cards of legends with teams they spent just a short time with. Also, he's a hometown hero of mine, being a South-East PA guy like me. ” -DarkSide830

I agree with Dark side. I love the finishing career on an unfamiliar team cards. I need a Piazza Padres card AND a Piazza A's card for my collection. I'm gradually picking up stuff like this from the years I wasn't collecting. Got a Saberhagen Rockies card the other day.

-------------------------------

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff.  Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

This could count for both Padres & A's! :)

Indeed it could.  I like the one old-timers set from the 80s where several players were in their end of career uniforms, like Robin Roberts Cubs. Possibly a Swell set. I have some but don't remember the set.
