The social media icons look so out of place on the backs and clash with the rest of the design

They want to put social media icons on the back? Ok with me. Sure, fine. Keep up with the times, as it were. But does the social media stuff have to be essentially the focal point and most prominent thing on the back of the card? Is that really what we're reduced to? The thing we're supposed to care about most on the back of a baseball card is not the career stats of the player, or even that he enjoys fishing or is a mortician in the off-season, but how I can follow him on Twitter?
Sigh. Almost makes me want to go in the back yard and bur....no, no, not going there.

A few years from now, when twitter dies its long-overdue death, people gonna make fun of these so much.

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. |

Really dislike the pixilation on the front. What is the purpose of that? Looks like crap. Get rid of the water slide on the front too.

Be sure to remind them that they duplicated those 1/1 signed Ripken cards. Cause nothing shady could ever happen with those down the road.

I don't think I ever technically deleted my MySpace account because I got hacked, changed the password to something real hard, then lost the paper I wrote it on. Last I saw, my page was full of rappers wanting me to check out their beets. Or was it beats.

I still nominally have one as well. but when they changed it and deleted all the code we had put in, I never rebuilt it. I don't even know if I could get back into it now if I wanted to.
I know once they got eclipsed by Facebook they tried to make it into more of a music thing for new artists to promote their stuff without needing a record label or radio play, but that never really took off.

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.

NJDevils didn't we say that in 1982 when Topps put a hockey stick almost on the front of the cards? And Topps and Fleer had the same photo of Rod Carew?

Robert “It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops. Today, October 2, a Sunday of rain and broken branches and leaf-clogged drains and slick streets, it stopped and summer was gone.”
