Set: Hoops (Rate)
Card: #106 Marc Gasol
“ This was a nice Hoops set. I like this card. ” -switzr1
“ An attractive design with a tad too much empty space down the lower sides. ” -Sportzcommish
“ Sooooo much wasted space ” -aussiewayne
“ The revival of the Hoops set during the second lockout was the only good thing I can say about any lockouts. The design was an homage to the 1989-90 set, just reversed and more colorful. I like it, and completed the set last year. Marc Gasol was traded for his brother Pau, one of the few times that's happened in NBA history. Still with the Grizzlies, he has been their main scorer for many years now. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ Hoops more like Dups! ” -carthage44
“ Its ok, but the cropping of this particular photo is about an inch to high. ” -parsley24
“ For some reason I like Hoops sets, even though Basketball is my 4th sport of the Big US4. Like the use of the key shape Very easy to read. Back is nice but as usual many will complain about the same photo being used. Personally I prefer backs without photos but whatever. ” -captkirk42
“ There's isolation, and then there's cropping an action shot so closely that you lose context. Good thing a sliver of basketball is visible at the top - otherwise it'd be hard to tell what sport he's playing. Common card-back defects: Tiny font, same photo ” -dilemma19
“ A lot of wasted space on the front. They could have thrown a Gizzly logo on there some where. Maybe a position too. ” -muskie027
“ So much to say on this one! 1. Really, Panini, please chip in the extra few hours for your photographers to take enough photos to have different ones on front and back. 2. With that said, I love how our defender's face blends in so well with the crowd in the background. 3. And if he is really holding that infant WHILE defending Marc Gasol, this guy deserves to be in the hall of fame! ” -kents_stuff
“ If you're just gonna repeat the same image on the back of the card, just omit it completely. Don't do us any favors, okay? ” -mkaz80
“ I see what they were going for, but it didn’t turn out right. ” -IfbBirdsCards
“ Sooooo much wasted space ” -aussiewayne
