“ i had forgotten that Opening Day went this far back. I kind of like these. You can easily distinguish them from the regular set unlike today where the only difference is a little emblem in a corner. ” -davidhandberry
“ Any card of this "legend" I'd be happy to have! ” -bkklaos
“ Ripken's swing wasn't quite like anybody else's. This kinda captures that. ” -Splinter_9
“ I guess this is OK for an Opening Day set. For a flagship set it would be lacking. Better choice of photos could be used the back photo might have been a better choice for the front than the front. ” -captkirk42
“ Cal was real early on that pitch. ” -IfbBirdsCards
“ Great player!! I am not a huge fan of Opening Day, I just find it unnecessary. The card does have a good look to it though. Slightly reminds me of 91 and 92 Leaf, probably because of the coloring. ” -muskie027
“ I love Topps! But, man, they have just too many card sets. And this is one of them. ” -jayoneill
“ Not horrible, but the front looks dingy. ” -kents_stuff
“ almost like this better then the 98 football design ” -Thunderfoot
