Random Card of the Day

Year: 2001

Set: Pacific - Retail LTD (Rate)

Card: #371 Jim Harbaugh


“ How can you tell if it is retail or hobby? ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Nice numbering 299/299. ” -Duke

“ Beautifully designed card that starts with an iconic action photo of the QB dropping back over a team-colored banner filled with the Chargers logo and player's name. The chosen font is an excellent complement to the banner, particularly how it's used to display the player's name. Players I collect will certainly be added to my Want List based on this one card. ” -Sportzcommish

“ He is now the GOD of Michigan Football! ” -carthage44

“ the Buckeye fan in me wants so badly to say something snarky here... but it's pretty cool the scan is the final number in the print run. ” -Brimose

“ Can't read the players name. I do not like the foil names. ” -jayoneill

“ I like this. The coloring and design is clean and bright. The foiling makes it hard to see how nice the name might look, but I'll bet this looks great in hand. The back is nice as well. I'd take this! ” -muskie027

“ The University of Michigan head coach as a quarterback. Pretty soon the kids that he's recruiting won't have even been born yet when he was playing; I was 7 when this card came out! Interesting to see a 299/299 SN on the front. I always liked Pacific's number designation, being down at the bottom with the set information around it. ” -jasongerman9

“ Not bad, but not very original either, good scan ” -hphillips

“ Will feel weird next season getting cards of a team I used to follow. ” -volbox

“ This card reminds me why I miss the Pacific brand. ” -captkirk42

It is a nice card except for the foil card name.  I hate foil names, so hard to read.

Billy, it is retail because the card is serial numbered to 299 where as the hobby is serial numbered to 99. Also, it is very hard to see but on the front of the card in transparent lettering it says Retail LTD.

Thank you Carthage. I think now that you mention it I can sort of see a letter in the blue to his left. Much easier to see in person I would bet.

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.
