“ Not liking this card. I like Cal but this graffiti tribute thing looks awful. Took me way too long to see that it was a picture of Cal and that was under 10 seconds. Topps Fire tends to go overboard with the effects on the images. ” -captkirk42

One word says it all,,,GARBAGE.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

Agree with earlier comment.  At first glance, I saw the "Iron Man" and was noticing the face did not look like Robert Downey Jr till I saw it was Ripken.

There a few dozen people wanting this card and only 1 for trade. I'd suggest you get your best offers together quickly!

This makes the 1991 Fleer set look like a work of art.

Thank goodness this "Monikers" set is only an insert set. I looked through the first several cards and found them equally atrocious. As for the main set, it's at least better looking, but seems to have the blandness of Panini cards (blurb on the back with no stats). If I collect baseball cards, I would definitely steer clear of this set.

That has to be the most disgusting card I've ever seen. I don't usually comment on anything, but....puuuuuke!
