Random Card of the Day |
Friday, November 27, 2020Set: 2012-13 O-Pee-Chee - Retro (Rate) “ Nice card of a guy who is perfect for diction practice: Pekka picked a peck of pickled peppers. ” -abide
5
“ This may be the most bland, boring design ever used on a hockey card. Of course because I collect the sport it won't stop me from collecting them. In fact I think I have more of this parallel than the base set that year. ” -Billy Kingsley
2
“ any hockey card is great ” -Tmac7
2
“ O-Pee-Chee retro is either hit or miss for me. I like the pic of a great goalie in the dear Pekka. The rest of the card seems to be lacking on the design end of things. ” -Gunny
1
“ I don't believe that retro should be an excuse to slap a cutout on a blank background and call it a day ” -IfbBirdsCards
2
“ ooooooooo that is a sweet card. 10/10 ” -parsley24
1
“ Love these Retro OPC cards. Not sure what vintage set this is paying homage to. I'm sure some puckhead will know. ” -captkirk42
1
“ If I PC'd someone and had a bunch of cards of them that all looked the same, I'd be really happy about a card like this. Not sure I'd want a whole set though, it's very stark. ” -jackal726
“ Not fond of this card and don't know why. Maybe some of the other comments will help me put my finger on it I like Hockey cards in general, just don't like this one. ” -Camstone
“ Not bad but I think there's too much white on the card. ” -Phil
“ An ok card. My favorite part is the old OPC logo on the back. ” -karsal
“ A little boring. ” -muskie027
“ Neat card. Reminds me of something really old, the way they removed the background. ” -switzr1

Thursday, November 26, 2020Set: 2015-16 Upper Deck Champ's - Canadiana Vintage Map Relics (Rate) Card: #CR-WCG 1907 Western Canada and Gold Fields “ Ok, that is cool! I really get a lot of enjoyment from maps. I even chose an Antique Maps calendar over the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit calendar...twice! ” -Billy Kingsley
2
“ I like the overall look of this card. The color scheme between the red border, with the gold accents really sets of the piece of the map. Interesting short story on the back too. A fine job of card design, UD! ” -CollectingAfterDeath
1
“ OK so i followed this map to the X. No treasure disappointed. 0 stars. ” -parsley24
5
“ What the heck is this? ” -NickyCollects
1
“ There is something quite cool about a card made with a piece of old map. It makes me want to look at the entire map that it came from. ” -YoRicha
1
“ ? A map relic? UMKAY. ” -captkirk42
1
“ I think this is awesome! Definitely could get into ripping some packs of this open and getting an education at the same time! ” -bkklaos
“ I watch "Antiques Roadshow" now and then, and folks will bring in a vintage map for appraisal, because it seems vintage maps are interesting, collectible, have a following, and have value.
I'm fairly sure, no map collector will have any interest in a trading card with a piece of vintage map. I think they will be horrified.
Of course, I have also heard of baseball people, horrified about cutting up [destruction] of an authentic game used Babe Ruth bat, a game worn Joe Dimaggio jersey, and so on. ” -abide
1
“ I don't know how this database does it, but it keeps on setting new standards for weird cards ” -Soarin22
1
“ Why would you cut up a beautiful map from 1907? I like maps more than cards. This bothers me. ” -switzr1
1
“ This is an odd subject for a card. It just doesn't do anything for me. ” -Phil
“ ???
If a card company would like to offer relics with fabric swatches from my great-great grandmother's quilts or tablecloths, please have them contact me to see if we can work out a deal. ” -kents_stuff
2
“ OH MY GOD! I need this card!!! ” -cjjt

Wednesday, November 25, 2020Set: 2019-20 Upper Deck - Clear Cut (Rate) “ I really dig the acetate cards. ” -Corky
2
“ I love these Clear Cut parallels! They are so cool in hand. I actually pulled one from this same release (Series 2). I wish they were easier to find...they fall less than 1 per box. ” -Billy Kingsley
2
“ With this acetate card if you "mouse over" quickly enough you almost get one of those "flipping parallel universe" sci-fi show effect. That or he looks like he's going to crash into himself. ” -captkirk42
4
“ I love these sorts of clear cards. One of the best innovations in card designs in recent years. I packed one such card in Topps 2014 Updates and immediacy fell in love. Doesn't hurt that the base card here is nice too. ” -DarkSide830
1
“ I have no use for this card. ” -Brendan Barrick
“ I like how unique these acetate cards can be. ” -suomibear8
2
“ Fun fact, when Jeff Skinner was 9, he had a role in Robin Williams' "Death to Smoochy". ” -NickyCollects

“ Not big into hockey cards, but this is nice, besides the fact that you can read the back text from the front ” -Soarin22

“ My goal is to get the most likes. Help a brother out! ” -RoyalChief

Tuesday, November 24, 2020Set: 2010 BBM Yomiuri Giants (Rate) “ I have his 1997 Bowman Chrome rookie card somewhere. Didn't know he played in Japan. ” -trauty
4
“ Great card. Love to see how other cultures do it. ” -parsley24
2
“ This guy kind of looks like Zack Grienke, at least from this photo. Nice card, but wish they didn't cut out the leg ” -Soarin22
2
“ I can't read most of it, but it's still awesome! I love the international releases! ” -bkklaos
1
“ A not-so-successful Tigers draft selection out of the University of Virginia. A pretty interesting team set card, although I wonder where his right leg from the knee down disappeared to. ” -IfbBirdsCards
2
“ Cool, I think this is the first Japanese baseball RCOTD. I don't own any of these, but would like to. ” -switzr1
2
“ Nice looking card. I don't really follow or collect Japanese baseball or cards, or American players that have gone over there to play. I did not know that the SF & Yomiuri Giants shared the same team colors. Interesting that the Japanese teams put English team names on their jerseys ” -abide
2
“ I love these Japanese cards, I wish we could find them for a decent price in the U.S. ” -cckeith
2
“ "not those Giants"-Roger Dorn ” -Thunderfoot
2
“ At first glance I thought this was an insert card but then noticed it was a BBM Japanese baseball card. I usually try to avoid BBM cards because I am already down too many trading card rabbit holes and can't afford to chase any others. ” -captkirk42
2
“ I really love this card! It's an obvious copy of the American style but with such a Japanese flair that you can tell right away it's Japanese. The stats on the back are a dead give away as well!! ” -Camstone
2
“ Odd question. Why do Japanese teams have uniforms with English writing? Why are the team names in English? It never dawned on me, but should the uniform have the word Giants in Japanese? ” -muskie027

Monday, November 23, 2020Set: 2007 Hero Decks Milwaukee Brewers Baseball Heroes Playing Cards (Rate) “ I am not a fan of caricatures. As such this is not something I would collect, but it's a moot point since they don't appear to make them for what I collect. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ Hmm, interesting ” -IfbBirdsCards
“ Oh brother. While I'm trying to figure out how many Cardinals hero decks truly exist, this one comes up. I love the decks. Just hard to accurately catalog because they keep updating as new players come along. ” -switzr1
2
“ Just not into playing cards with sports figures on them. To me they are not trading cards. ” -NJDevils
2
“ These are nice novelty type sports cards that when I first saw a deck or two thought it would be fun to try to get, but never did. I am glad I never did because now there are a ton of these sets with no idea of how many there actually are around. ” -captkirk42
“ I like it. Stuff like this adds fun to a collection. Even has some stats for the purists! ” -Camstone
2

1
“ Fun set! I own the Tigers & U. Michigan sets. ” -cjjt
1
“ I personally do not know if I consider a deck of playing cards a trading card, but I am not passionate about it. I like that this one gives you info on the player. ” -muskie027
“ Good old Coop. The back of these playing cards are super imaginative. :P ” -trauty

Saturday, November 21, 2020Set: 2004 Donruss Classics (Rate) “ This is a nice looking card. I do believe they could have spent a bit less real estate for the frame and used it for a bigger photo but looks good the way it is. ” -Camstone
2
“ Although I have 2007 set, I have never cared for Donruss Classic sets. Cropped pictures. Kinda dull. ” -cjjt
3
“ Pretty high serial numbers, but still fun to me! I'd buy a box of these! ” -bkklaos
“ I like this card. It will have made for a better card, if the player was pictures in his pro uniform. ” -Brendan Barrick
1
“ Nice enough card. I don't remember the guy, but 1,850 collectors have a chance of owning it. ” -switzr1
1
“ It has a cool look, but not loving it for some reason. Maybe cause the NYG logo with the A&M uniform looks funky or maybe cause I would expect more recognizable players on a set labeled Classics. ” -muskie027

Thursday, November 19, 2020Set: 1997 Upper Deck Legends (Rate) “ Nice design and photo. ” -Billy Kingsley
1
“ A well centered and balanced card. Joe wearing the suicide bar for his helmets face guard, certainly hearkens back to another era of the gridiron. A+ grade, imo. ” -CollectingAfterDeath
4

3
“ I still shudder every time I think about this guy and his infamous injury. ” -bpaul14

Love the card by the way. Classic bond

“ Now this is fun and auspicious timing with the unfortunate passing of Sean Connery recently! I need to get me a deck of these cards! Love me some 007! ” -bkklaos
