Random Card of the Day

Year: 2002

Set: Flair (Rate)

Card: #55 Albert Pujols


“ At first, I thought, this looks a lot loike everything else that is modern, but after really looking at it, I like it. I like the color contrast on the front that really shows the team colors. Also, I think the backs have a nice look as well. I don't have any Flair, I didn't even know they were a company, but this would have been fun to collect. ” -muskie027

“ These cards actually had a metallic sheen to them that doesn't really capture in scans. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ If not for Pujols' smile the background photo would seem like a giant peering through a window at an unsuspecting victim. This card should be classified as an oddity. ” -Sportzcommish

“ Poorly placed front logo makes it look like he plays on team flair, and the obligatory grumbling about the use of foil, but all in all a good design and a legendary player. ” -dilemma19

“ Flair ? More like Flub ! ” -uncaian

“ Yay, a Cardinals card! I was confused at first with the Flair logo on the ball cap, it made it look like a minor league logo for a moment. Decent set, though. ” -Brimose

“ The card - not a fan. The player - I'm a fan. And he never played for a team I like. ” -vrooomed

“ Seems like he has been around forever! His rookie year was in 2001 when I was a senior is high school!!! ” -carthage44

“ I'm still a little mixed on if I like 2002 Flair or not. The back is pretty much standard so no real problem there, well the card number has a funky font style is that card fifty-five or ess-ess? ” -captkirk42

“ This is good stuff. Would love to acquire more flair cards. They are amazing. My only problem is the orange back. Pretty out of place. ” -DarkSide830

“ This card is really sweet ” -Bargunmaster

“ Overall I like the card. Not fond of the multiple fonts for his name on the back. Not sure why they would do that. In general a cool card of a great player. ” -Mitch

“ He should have stayed with the Cards. He would have been right up there behind Musial and Gibson. ” -NJDevils

Great player but way too busy of a card design both front and back.

I somehow missed a Cardinal to comment on.  Great looking card. As for Albert, I was disappointed but not angry that he left. (Internet Cardinals fans can make the rest of us look bad). But his best years were obviously behind him, and he left as a winner, going out with a bang with that three homerun game in the World Series.  Also, by leaving, he ensured that Stan Musial would remain the greatest of all Cardinals hitters and 475 still the team home run record.


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

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.
