Year: 2003-04

Set: Upper Deck Finite (Rate)

Card: #211 Keith Bogans


“ The Finite brand was entirely serial numbered....every card in the set in both years it was done. As someone with a serious serial number addiction, I loved the concept then and I still do now...just wish they had better designs. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ This pose is so weird, I thought it was a Kosta Koufos card at first. The words across his legs looks bad. Real bad. ” -switzr1

“ Is his name under the size 128 font "Finite Rookie"? That I can read, but the scribble below not at all. But I hope it's the player's name that goes there. ” -kents_stuff

“ Nice design. Quirky picture. ” -Sportzcommish

“ What an awkwardly posed picture ” -Brimose

“ More Finite please! Love these cards! ” -carthage44

“ Ok Keith, wow you were the 43rd pick huh, very cool. I know this is your first rookie card photo shoot, and I dont know basketball, so i guess you could say i am a rookie too. Here let me pose you like the last kid who would ever get picked in recess kickball throwing a baseball. Ok, great, now act like you are going to shot put it. great, great job. "NEXT." In walks Malick Badiane, 44th pick of the NBA draft. ummm, yeah sir can i help you.... are you lost. "NEXT!" Oh Matt Bonner. Wow, you are gonna be a super star... oh wait, Im sorry, i thought you were Matt Carrol. You guys all look alike. ” -parsley24

“ Trying but can't find anything really nice to say about this one. ” -captkirk42

“ Looks like they made about 1500 too many of these cards. Odd pose; wasted space; huge brand logo across the picture; dull; weird background; same picture on back, where there's even more wasted space; and I don't see the position he plays anywhere on the card. Other than that, perfect! ” -Vvvergeer

“ There is a lot I don't like. The photo angle makes him look like he has a tiny lower body and huge upper body, and the gigantically baggy clothes worn in the late 90's/early 00's only contributes to the effect and the mess that is this card. At least the coloring is good and the SN is cool, but then the hard to read and overly large Finite Rookie stripe reminds me that I don't like this. ” -muskie027

“ I like the feel of the Finite Rookies, though it is a bit busy. But whenever I look at these old school numbered cards the 'dot matrix' numbers really turn me off. ” -Ratsdm

Could have been a nice card if it didnt have that  glop running east to west across his knees.

I'm into serial# cards on any format. I believe it was the NFL cards back in 1993 for sure via - "Collectors Edge" - that pressed the serial numbered set and the collecting of those items are interesting - imagine a 2131 Ripken Jr.!! Imagine a #23/23 Jordon insert or even serial numbers that match career records or other player related numbers that we all know. The demand for say a Dale Earnhardt Jr #88 in a on card autograph, it demands am enormous price (x10 or more) over any of his others, maybe #8 when he drove it. It's hard to even find items that match records or the like. As for this card, is got nice lines, not a lot of what I call "too busy" ((see 95 Fleer Baseball - Headache Inducing For Real!! Hate them)) - again I like serial numbers but not the style or placement here. It could be located in a corner and not destroy the center as it does for me anyway. I also don't care for any card with sticker serial numbers, they should be pressed or stamped in and foil applied so to draw the eye but not dominate the card. I have less attraction to cards that do not include the players name, team & position on the front. Many sets, to me at least, aren't as playing to view bcz the info is either entirely on the back or if it's a serial numbered "Patch" or "Game Used" the back not having any info other than the COA reduces the appeal as well. This card had great qualities but a few design flaws for me to want to dive into them. 

As always,  have a blessed week ahead and ROLL TIDE ROLL!
