Year: 2004

Set: Topps Traded & Rookies (Rate)

Card: #T149 Akinori Otsuka


“ Great scan. I wish they would make this a continuation of the base set and not a standalone though. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ My favorite Topps design of that decade. Uncluttered clean look, and the little foil player outline (unique to each card) is a really nice feature. ” -olerud363

“ I have always wanted to like this series as it has the nice clean white borders and the 1988-esque team name across the top, which I have always like about the 1988 set, but there is just something about it that has never really excited me. ” -tbshaw

“ I like this set. The design reminds me of The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest card set. (UD 1996) ” -Doe MG

“ A recent (as in since 2000) set that I was board with when I first saw it. This was around the time I got back into the hobby, it was either late 2004 or early 2005 I was partly prompted by the fact that the Expos were moving to become the Nationals. I love the little player drawing at the bottom. I forget how long it was before I realized that those little drawings were the exact pose the player was in. I originally thought it was like the 1973 cards (or 1971 Football) where the drawing was a generic pose for the position. ” -captkirk42

“ Kind of a nod to the '73 Topps set with the mini ballplayer silhouette in the bottom corner. Though, unlike '73, this mini-me is actually an outline of the actual player pictured. I like the design overall, but maybe a tad too much foil? ” -mkaz80

“ An attractive card. The bold team name draws me to it. The bordered design with the baseball logo inset lifts it from a plain Jane creation to one I'd want to collect. ” -Sportzcommish

“ Where has this set been hiding?! I love the way the player outline as photographed is reproduced in the corner! The back is unoffensive. No 2004 superstar rookies come to mind, so it probably wouldn't be expensive to collect. Got to go buy me some 2004 Topps. ” -dilemma19

“ I was never a big fan of the 04 Tops design, I find it to be very similar to 2005's as well. ” -JoshReese92099

“ ...really nice set. I like the foil mini-pose with player number. ” -RoundtheDiamond87

“ Nice Card. I like the large team letters, the number on the front, and also his position. ” -barefoot108

“ I like it, but I am not sure why. There is a lot of white, but it has a cool look. ” -muskie027
