I went in with an open mind knowing this was a budget-to-midrange retail offering from Upper Deck, but holy moly, this set bores me to tears. There's nothing outright wrong or offensive about the base set or inserts, but the design is bland beyond belief - hope you're a fan of whitespace and really dislike flavor text, because you have 350 cards worth of it here. Also, every photo feels like the same full-player-in-frame-from-the-front pose or vantage point, which I think is a nod to Parkhurst cards of the 50s and 60s, but without any of the retro design touches to pull it all together. If they're going to go this route, why are they mixing it into a set with a ton of holo/foil inserts and bog-standard thin Upper Deck glossy stock? Why not chop out the background and offset the player against a solid color or basic pattern like the Parkhurst sets of old? Also, why do half the inserts still use that same unimaginative framing as the base set? I know they're not parallels, but they may as well be, as I'm hard-pressed to tell the difference in a lot of cases.
