Card: #WEEK Rickie Weeks


“ Using letters to number a card is...weak. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ This is one of the laziest sets I have ever seen. The front is nice if they had done anything with the back it would have been a solid card. The front I would give an 8. The only issue I have with the front is I prefer on card autographs. The back ruins it when the use the exact same photo, the exact same layout they just changed what was in the two bottom boxes. It was an 8 for the front, a 0 for the back, overall I would say 3 and that is being generous. ” -davidhandberry

“ Great looking design with the flag in the background. The placement of the sticker is well done. I saw Weeks play many games at Miller Park. A big guy for a second basemen. He was playing at 220 pounds during his last few seasons. ” -weight333

“ UGH. Not a good design for any kind of card. Sorry Upper Deck. Front and back exact same? Looks too generic. ” -captkirk42

“ Nice card. Love autos. ” -Kirbythedodger

“ I think I remember Weeks...Was he ever a Brewer? This may be the laziest card back ever! Numbering in this set is based on player surname. I wonder if they made a conscious decision to number this card "WEEK", rather than "WEE"? ” -dilemma19

“ Bad pun alert - This Weeks card is weak. A sticker auto with the same photo front and back (same size even!) Even the card number is WEEK. Weak. ” -vrooomed

“ Points off for having the same photo on the front as the back. ” -kirkscards

“ What a horrible numbering ("numbering") scheme. The card itself is a bit boring on the scan, but I admit it might look awesome in real life. ” -kents_stuff

Using the Work ID/Badge concept? quick thinking on the designer to meet the dealine. Bonus on removing the Magnetic strip

Title 4, United States Code, Chapter 1.: "The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature." Keep on rockin' in the free world,

"Work ID/Badge concept" LMAO. Would have been decent as an acetate card with the inverted pic on the back. Super wierd with the same photo in the same spot.

Back and front pretty much exactly the same... Not a fan favorite I'm sure.

So again, why do we accept letters as numbers but not numbers as numbers? Because letters are not numbers. But numbers are always numbers... except on the Trading Card Database.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

I'm with you on this one, Billy, but I think it's a losing battle!


-------------------------------

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff.  Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.
