Random Card of the Day

I remember the backlash this set design caused when the 1997-98 Fleer NBA set was released. I remember Fleer going in Beckett and saying it was because the non- glossy card front was easier to get autographs on. At the time I despised them, but now, years later, I actually really like the design, and consider it the last truly great Fleer set. (for the NBA, at least). There were glossy parallels- Crystal, which were not easy to find, and Tiffany, which were somewhat rarer, and featured blue holofoil in place of the standard gold foil. I believe I only got one of them. When they were new I liked them more than the base cards, but now it's the other way around. One thing's for sure, it's unique, I can't think of any other mainstream set to do that.
