Random Card of the Day

Year: 2003-04

Set: Fleer Platinum - Nameplates (Rate)

Card: #NP/MP Mickael Pietrus


“ I love the concept of this series, even if this design is not as nice as the two previous years. The patch is taken from the player's name on the back of the jersey. The fact that they messed with the exposure of the image really takes away from the design. The previous year was based off an automotive license plate, which I like much better. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Not a big fan of memorabilia cards that destroy jerseys and other game used equipment. Not the most attractive design, but still better than most current Panini products. Front scan is a bit dark. ” -hphillips

“ As a hockey collector I don't often comment basketball cards, but this one deserves a word or two. I really like that yellowish goldish mood in this card and serial numbered cards are always cool. That patch suits perfectly to this card and set. Other cards I've seen in this set aren't so nice. Blue bar and quirky platinum word spoils a little bit, but definitely thumbs up. ” -Duke

“ Two-color jersey piece, more valuable than just a single color piece. ” -carthage44

“ Nice card as GU (or now relic?) cards go. I like it is serial numbered. I really think that ALL relic cards (and autograph cards) should be serial numbered since there is a limited amount of little one inch squares you can laser cut and get onto cards. ” -captkirk42

“ Pleasant looking card. Too much background stuff covered up ” -jayoneill

“ Nice Sketch, not a fan of the "Warriors" Font. Or the orange/yellow background. But you can't omplain about the patch of fleer platinum. ” -TradingCards964

“ Reminds me of a magazine cover. ” -dilemma19

“ I like the odd serial number ” -cjjt

“ Wow, that's...aggressive. Like what a giant card on a Begas hotel would look like. Says "Warriors" three times, "Fleer" twice, and "Platinum" twice on the front. Guess some stuff is worth repeating. Or not. ” -Vvvergeer

I guess there is a meaning for the number 253 or just that was the exact amount of pieces the available jerseys could be torn.

Really hate memorabilia cards with these generic "Congratulations! Enjoy your memorbilia card." messages on the back instead of some actual text about the player.

Patricio: first, welcome to the Database! Second, the cards in the set are numbered to whatever they could get out of a jersey, all different numbers throughout the set. 

hphillips: front scan is not dark, You know I actually take the time to make the cards look like they do in hand. Fleer messed with the photos on this set, kind of like an Instragram filter, ten years before Instagram existed. I agree with you on the historical memorabilia but in modern times they wear each jersey only once, I believe, There are stoies of marquee players changing jerseys at halftime so there would be more memorabilia available to sell- that's potentially 164 jerseys in a regular season, and that does not even take the playoffs or preseason into account. For modern stuff- I'll say post lockout #1-it doesn't bother me. For vintage stuff I hate to see that get cut up. I have a Bob Cousy relic that I pulled that has blue material- that can only be from his very breif time as a player/coach of the Royals, so it had to have been significantly rare. That is, of course, if the relics were ever actually used by the player in the first place. Lots of people believe they are all fake, though I am not one of them.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.
