“ I'm always surprised when I see mini cards because I never see them in the wild myself. Are these hobby only? Online only? I don't care for the minis myself because I feel like it's just a shameless cash grab. ” -ketchupman36

“ Great photo, great design, great scan. A real winner here. I miss team cards in my sport, I'm glad to see you baseball collectors still get them. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ It's sets like this that make me glad I don't collect "new" baseball cards . It's a nice looking set ,don't get me wrong , there are sooo many variations of the same card. ” -uncaian

“ Hey its just like the regular release, except smaller and cuter! Waste of a set in my opinion. ” -rmpaq5

“ Nobody likes the Yankees. ” -carthage44

“ Love the mini cards. Never been a big fan of the team cards.....would much rather have mgr cards. ” -tbshaw

“ It's hard to believe it's been THAT long since Jeter retired! Nice celebratory card. I'd own it as a last card type. ” -Sportzcommish

“ booo yankees, yay minis ” -Lennoxmatt

“ Modern Classic set design ” -RoundtheDiamond87

“ On a day my favorite hockey team is ROCTD (Sabres), my favorite baseball team is what we write about. Things are coming up Muskie this month! Great picture, love that Jeter is the focal point, even though he isn't centered. All we need is a Buffalo Bill and a Phoenix Sun and the four majors are complete in the same month!!! ” -muskie027

Guess my posting was too negative about modern team cards. Guess I should watch what I say from now on. Didn't realize that this one was a mini though. I'm tired of mini parallels.

I like this card (even though somewhat difficult to say with the Yanks!).  I like the picture, the general design of the card, the information on the back, etc.  I think it captures the moment nicely.

The thing about minis is that they're about 2/3 as good as the actual cards. 

And can someone with authority please put the dimensions in for this and any mini set? So we can all know just how mini they are. 

I also have a complete set of the Superminis for this set. So small, they're invisible. Any buyers? 

(Hint: I'm anti-mini)
