Has anybody seen a relatively new collectible card game called Platinum Series Baseball?  I ask because I saw a couple of the cards posted on a collectors blog and it looks to be a ripoff of Dynasty League Baseball (formerly Pursue the Pennant).  DLB is a game similar to Strat-O-Matic in that the player cards aren't necessarily collectible, while PSB advertises their game as collectible.  The basic game comes with some small number of cards and then you have to buy packs of additional cards.  The problem is the game itself looks to be almost exactly the same as DLB.  I can't believe somebody would stoop so low as to blatantly copy another game.

After reading your post on my phone, I saw a video about this game and it claimed to be licensed with the MLBPA.  I can't find this video now to post a link from my computer.  I also remember that Yadier Molina was listed with Tampa Bay instead of St. Louis on his card, which makes me think it might be pretty amateur.  Like when all the Broder sets tried to spell Pete Incaviglia.

It doesn't look that great.  You are right about Molina being listed with Tampa Bay if you look close at his card in the video.  I think I will pass on this one!
