I like it, but I feel this is the third straight year of the same or similar design. I think they found a good design and don't want to deviate too much. I don't blame them. I like it and can't wait for the release!!!

It's not bad, for the most part. I don't really care for that blue wave thing or the beveled logo. Something more simple would have worked there. I think too many 3D elements make it a bit too artificial for me.

Nice catch. So the Giants alternate logo isn't the Oriole?

I really like it. More than I've liked ANY of the designs I've seen pre-production since I got back in the swing of things (2012). I'm actually looking forward to this one!

I do wish there was a sneak peek of the back. I hope they bring back complete stats and get rid of Twitter and Instagram handles. Maybe a vertical back like 1993 or 1972?

I'll be a little more critical about its similarities to recent years. I think a solid border would be enough of a deviation from the last couple of years to make it look unique. I do like the wavelike banner.

Better than 2017. Topps has a horizontal problem. The Posey card looks weird with too much empty space on the right after the name plate. They couldn't figure out horitzonal cards for 2017 either
