“ A somewhat classic for my generation. The inaugural Score set if I am right. This set really kind of changed things and was the first step I believe toward the modern day card. I loved these back in the day and I still like them now. ” -muskie027
“ One of my favorite sets with multiple colors throughout the set. ” -Sportzcommish
“ I can't believe I'm saying this, but TMI. I think that Score is kind of considered the poster child for the junk-wax era of baseball cards. But I really liked some of their designs and features. The close-up on the back, on white stock, was nice. But holy cow the font was small. I love stats and trivia, and want them on my cards. But I gotta be able to read them with just my old man glasses, not a set of 5x readers from the local drugstore. ” -kents_stuff
“ I bet a few people will scoff at this card, but this set is kind of a groundbreaker. It is one year before Upper Deck, and to the best of my knowledge the first to start putting photos on the back. ” -rmpaq5
“ The back of the card gives you more info about Guetterman than Wikipedia does! ” -carthage44
“ I like this design. Even used it to make cards for my baseball team once. ” -IfbBirdsCards
“ Ah the mixed up colors of Score. These sets drive me nuts with their willy-nilly border colors. I suppose if I were a set collector (who would keep the cards in a box) this would not matter, but as a team collector whose collection of team sets is kept in albums, these random colored borders look awful. I actually went through my albums and pulled out the Score cards. My albums have an appealing level of sophistication without them. I think Score did variations of the random colors thing for about 4 years. ” -Doe MG
“ Why that white line? It's so annoying! ” -WallyCub
“ Score debut. I liked it then and still like it. Nice and simple front design would be nice if they had mentioned the team name on the front or had the team logo up front. Sure that is all on the back but having it on the front is great for easy recognition. The back has everything I would want on a stats on the back card. Except I can do without the head shot. Many around here will like that the picture on back is not the same as the one on front. This makes me wish that Score (and a few other brands) were still around with their original makers not through Panini. ” -captkirk42
“ Do not mistake him for Randy Johnson... ” -rmitchell6700
“ Score!!! I have two x 5,000 count box of score baseball waiting for me to begin sorting. By the end of my sort I will either love or hate score. I do like the simple design; but I can't get over the "cheapness" of the feel of these cards. ” -cnangle
“ Awesome. "Pick up your game..." --Score, to Topps, Donruss, Fleer, circa 1988. ” -switzr1
