Year: 2004
Set: Bowman - Gold (Rate)
Card: #36 Jason Kendall
“ I was on a road trip hitting various major and minor league games back in 1999 and made a stop in Pittsburgh...and was at the game he snapped his ankle. One of the most surreal memories I have. ” -rmpaq5
“ Not bad, not great either. ” -DarkSide830
“ These cards are too thick. ” -carthage44
“ Bowman, with the fake signatures, would look better if that section of the card wasn't "faded" to make the signature stand out. I'm glad they finally did away with it all and dropped the fake autos in recent years. Young players weren't taught cursive in school anyway, and don't know how to write a proper signature, so I don't even want their autograph, real or fake. ” -switzr1
“ I remember buying several blasters of this back in the day. I don't like the gold cards mostly because they are thicker than the base. Not a fan of that. ” -mkaz80
“ Kind of plain, but nice card overall. Back looks great. ” -Doc Floyd
“ The chamfered tab look is eye-catching yet not distracting, and gives some freedom for photo choices (especially well illustrated in this example with the ball above his head). But I am really not a fan of any black border anywhere on the card. It makes it so hard to keep them display worthy with almost any handling whatsoever. It looks like this particular example likewise suffers from that, especially on the right edge. Otherwise I like the design, though. ” -kents_xtras_trd_sell
“ A team logo would have made this a very nice card ” -NJDevils
“ Is it me, or does he look like Colin Farrell? ” -YoRicha
“ Love some of the color parallels! I think I missed this set somehow..... ” -Joshua825
“ Oddly I like the 2000s era of Bowman designs. I can't stand their numbering for the prospects and rookie prospects and prepreprospects with the PP and DP and DCPPPCDs and whatnots that they do. Like this design and even the "gold" variant that we see here. Back is OK as backs go. ” -captkirk42
