Random Card of the Day

Year: 1992

Set: Fleer ProCards (Rate)

Card: #3149 Jon Waite


“ I know this set has come up as Card of the Day before. I like the design then and I still do now. Of course, being early 90s Fleer, I'm pretty much guaranteed to like it. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ I bet these cards didn't sell very well, but that they made a pile of money selling the template to photographers of minor baseball associations nationwide. "Junior's first baseball card" Jon Waite was a pretty big lefty. I wonder how many cards from this 4071-card set have mostly empty backs, populated only by "first year in professional baseball". ” -dilemma19

“ It looks like a card you can make by downloading a template from the 'net and turning a picture of your kid in uniform into a card. ” -rmpaq5

“ I'm on a role with these "Random Card of the Day" as I think three of the last four I uploaded! ” -carthage44

“ Border over clutters the card. Looks like a cheapo Walmart frame ” -Lennoxmatt

“ And the 1990s bizarre designs get to the minor leagues. I like some of the elements in the border but it is too much too busy. Ether go with the bat and ball or the corner picture holders not both! Wow this guy has barely been signed it looks like. No wonder there is no stats on the back. ” -captkirk42

“ Too much going on with the border. Your eye should be drawn to the player, not the border. Don't like the oversized text boxes. Nor the text-wrapping corners. The back has more graphics than text and just seem empty. ” -C2Cigars

“ Not a bad design ” -switzr1

“ I wonder if he gets requests for "Missing You' and "When I See You Smile". ” -Jack Webster

To those who say it looks like a template you can download from the web or get at WalMart - um, where do you think those newer places got that design from? :)

Good point Dan. It's a 1992 cards. If anything, we should say Walmart and the internet ripped off the Procards design!

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.
