Set: 1990 Bowman (Rate)

Card: #423 Scott Leius


“ I never really got into the look of these and they used this in more than one sport. Something about the look made it look cheap. ” -muskie027

“ His helmet looks too big. Also, an old friend of mine used to always gripe that Scott Leius stole his girlfriend. Nice set, by the way. I really like it despite the very small print. ” -switzr1

“ Scott-"Ok how do you want me to pose" Photographer-"Deep and introspective, like your watching your loved ones leaving on a ship never knowing if they will return, and try to hit that moment as the ship disappears over the horizon...oh and put on your helmet while doing that too." ” -rmpaq5

“ Back in 1990 when this set came out I remember thinking like they looked like a generic Topps card. 30 years later I look at these cards and think they look like a generic Topps card. 1990 and 91 Bowman where my least favorite designs of the early 90s. ” -YoRicha

“ I’m not a fan of this card nor do I like the design in general. ” -chemistclete

“ Bowman sure has come a long way since this set. ” -Bassbunny22

“ I have fallen back in love with 90 bowman. Just wish the writing was better to see and there was a pos on the front. ” -parsley24

“ Not a big fan. Feel like the name and the team should be a bigger part of the card, ” -BasketbalHQ

“ I like this card. Some might call it boring but I like the simplicity. Just a clean shot of the player, no bells or whistles. ” -Camstone

“ Bowman, the set that always has subpar photography. Back looks different than the hockey variation ” -dollar guy

“ Hideous border ruined these cards. What were you thinking, Topps? Real Bowman cards from the '50s would have never been so ugly. ” -bpaul14

“ Can't really complain about '90 Bowman! ” -IfbBirdsCards

“ I don't like the fact that it at least doesn't have a team logo. ” -Phil

“ Never was a huge fan of the late 80s early 90s Bowman years, and this one definitely lacks character ” -Soarin22


Saturday, September 19, 2020

Set: 2016 Choice Sacramento River Cats (Rate)

Card: #07 Austin Fleet


“ Nice minor league card. I like it. ” -switzr1

“ not a bad design for a minor league set ” -Thunderfoot

“ Beautiful card . . . ” -georgecf

“ river cats is a pretty cool name ¯\_(?)_/¯ ” -torald

“ Nothing fancy. I like it ” -BasketbalHQ

“ Very nice minor league card. NO complaints on this one. ” -captkirk42

“ A very solid minor league design! Can't find a single thing about this card that I don't like. ” -IfbBirdsCards


Friday, September 18, 2020

Set: 1994 Colorado Rockies Police (Rate)

Card: #NNO '94 Rockies Coaches


“ Rockies 2nd year. Bunch of former players on staff. I loved the idea of the expansion teams when I was 12-13 years old. Had a purple Rockies shirt too. ” -rich1516

“ Nice card and a rare bird at that. A police set AND a Coaches card. ” -captkirk42

“ Maybe if the photographer had stood on the other side, we could see their faces. ” -switzr1

“ Had no idea former Met Larry Bearnarth was the Rockies' pitching coach. I love coach and manager cards! ” -mkaz80

“ I like the coaches cards in these types of sets. Strange to see Dwight Evans in Rockies attire. ” -tenlbpain

“ Nothing special, but I like it. ” -BasketbalHQ

“ Cockies Roaches ” -ganondorf666

“ Design is okay. Photo looks a bit unfocused. ” -Phil

“ Awesome! Go Rockies! They played at Mile High Stadium that year. ” -cjjt


Thursday, September 17, 2020

Set: 1993 Eclipse Beverly Hillbillies (Rate)

Card: #14 Problem Bear - No. 1


“ found out more about the clampitts by reading the card than i knew waking up this morning. ” -parsley24

“ This type of card is simultaneously why I love collecting and why my wife hates my collection. ” -jackal726

“ Haha, what a realistic bear. I'm guessing not many of these were sold. Interesting they were produced 20 years after the show went off the air. ” -rich1516

“ Love me some Beverly Hillbillies! I'll be curious the chatter this card/set brings in this forum! ” -bkklaos

“ I got 99 problems, but this bear is No. 1. ” -tenlbpain

“ Normally I really like Non-Sport cards/sets, but this looks incredibly super plain even by non-sport standards. Needs something in writing on the front. A caption for the picture to use in case they didn't use card numbers to identify the card. Wait how the heck did they number these half the set is card no. 1 and the other half card no. 2? Oh good thing there is a checklist for the set. Strange. ” -captkirk42

“ MAN IN BED MUCH RICHER THAN I HALLUCINATES BEAR WHILE ON QUAALUDES ” -ganondorf666

“ Loved this show when my reruns would air on TV! The card design is painfully simple on the front, but it works when the back is so text-heavy. The gradient might be a nod to the "black gold" that the Hillbillies' wealth is based off of, as well. ” -IfbBirdsCards

“ There is just so much goodness in this card. A classic. I now want this set! ” -bpaul14

“ To be honest, I have no idea what this is ” -BasketbalHQ

“ Classic!! ” -mkaz80

“ Truly random! ” -cjjt

“ Weird. I thought I was looking at a dead body at first. Weird card. ” -switzr1

“ I think this may be the most accurate card for our present situation. A very nice bed too, good headboard. Never thought I would write that about a card ” -Soarin22

“ Is this a gold parallel? Lol! I can't believe the Hillbillies had a set dedicated to them from 1993. Kind of cool. ” -muskie027

Set: 1995 Collector's Edge (Rate)

Card: #137 Quinn Early


“ Nice for a 1990s card during the overproduced years. Was Edge actually overproduced as well? Seems to be a bit rate at times. Nice front but don't like the sideways lettering. Back Hmm is that the same photo as the front only at a strange angle? Don't like the overall back design. Even though it is a little basic it looks too crowded. ” -captkirk42

“ Not bad. I've never heard of the player, but I like the design ” -BasketbalHQ

“ Former Hawkeye!!! i enjoy the look of the front of this set, back is very 90's but gets the job done ” -Thunderfoot

“ I like this set a lot ” -switzr1

“ Had a year or two with the Bills. He had a few good seasons. Card actually has a cool look to it. ” -muskie027

“ Is that the same picture slanted for the background on the back? If so, was it intentional or all they could do without a horizontal picture available. ” -vanstryland

Set: 2004 Playoff Honors - Credits Bronze (Rate)

Card: #110 Junior Spivey


“ Nice picture on the front of the card. Interesting layout on the back. I like how they took some of the physical attributes and ran them in a stat line along the side of the card. ” -CollectingAfterDeath

“ Nice looking card all around. Player name on front should stand out more. I'm guessing "credits" is one of the parallels or subsets? Playoff always had pretty good designs then they got bought out by Donruss and well then Donruss went the way of the Dodo until Panini made it a zombie brand. ” -captkirk42

“ Not a bad card. Weird that they would have such horrible lighting on the photo. ” -parsley24

“ I remember his stint with the Brewers, didn't go real well. Came over in the Richie Sexson deal. Worked out for the Brewers though as Sexson's stock was as high as it could be and I'm sure they weren't going to resign him. About as plain of a spring training photo as they could possibly get here though. Couldn't even get an action shot. ” -rich1516

“ Pretty boring. Is this like the third baseball card in a row? ” -BasketbalHQ

“ The base set is nice. I have a few Cardinals. I like the photo on this one. ” -switzr1

“ hONORS, cREDITS, tOMATOES, pOTATOES ” -ganondorf666

“ Credits? I don't see that designer and printer credited on this card. ” -IfbBirdsCards

“ not a fan of pictures that come from spring training photo shoots ” -abide

Set: 2000 Pacific - Copper (Rate)

Card: #256 Tony Armas Jr.


“ I have a special place in my heart for Pacific baseball stuff. I'm trying to collect pretty much anything they did- and accumulating parallels like this as best I can. Can anyone help? ” -Dave Sosidka

“ In my personal opinion, the diamond "rookie" comment looks a bit tacky. But other than that, I kind of like this card design overall. ” -kents_stuff

“ Never heard of this guy before, but a nice vintage looking photo, overall nice card. ” -Soarin22

“ His old man was a helluva hitter. ” -mkaz80

“ I have a love -hate feeling about how Pacific did the parallel numbering on the front in many issues of 1997-2000 time frame. Not a fan of the large black & white negative pic [of the front pic] on the back. ” -abide

“ Nothing special, but not bad either ” -BasketbalHQ

“ Interesting back. ” -dollar guy

“ His dad is one of my PCs. ” -BucCollector


Sunday, September 13, 2020

Set: 1987 Stuart Bakery Super Stars (Rate)

Card: #28 Lloyd Moseby


“ I can take it or leave it. ” -muskie027

“ While I feel for bilingual cards needing to use so much space for words, the amount of additional wasted space here really dampens my empathy for them in this case. ” -kents_stuff

“ what in the free give away with a tasty cake is this monstrosity? ” -parsley24

“ For some reason, I like this card, even though it really has little to offer . . . It looks like a clean design, and even the airbrushing of team logos doesn't bother me, although I usually hate it . . . For a company issue, I like it . . . it's pretty good . . . ” -georgecf

“ I like this card. Not the best, but I like the overall design ” -BasketbalHQ

“ As good if not better than today's Panini baseball cards. ” -mkaz80

“ Nice food issue. Unlicensed blank hats and helmets UGH. Actually blank batting helmets don't look so bad, but these hats with the white front panel and color sides look strange and too generic. The set does have some guys without a hat or helmet, but most seem to be wearing this style of hat. Guess the "junior" style of hat was popular in '86/87. ” -captkirk42


Saturday, September 12, 2020

Set: 2005 Topps Updates & Highlights - Barry Bonds Home Run History (Rate)

Card: #BB 410 Barry Bonds


“ Ew. ” -royals

“ I like big numbers and I cannot lie. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Ah, yes...Home Run History. One of those sets where we'll use the same images over and over and just change a few words. Like Yankee Stadium Legacy (or whatever it was), but worse. Too much dead space. ” -kents_stuff

“ so so so many Bonds cards.........I will give this one it's due. It does look nice with the fireworks in the background. Pretty sure there was no need to detail ALL of his homers though ” -Gator415

“ I like that these at least have the unique data on the back (as opposed to just recycling 5 images in front of different numbers) ” -jackal726

“ Ugly. Nice concept and nice try, but it just doesn't work. ” -georgecf

“ Love the milestone cards. I'm definitely interested in this card ” -BasketbalHQ

“ These Topps HRH insert sets in Topps flagship and Chome, are a fun chase for the guy that has a PC of the player. though Bonds is not my guy. ” -abide

“ An entire set dedicated to one player. That is not what I really want to see. ” -dollar guy

“ Nice Little set from the home run champ.... ” -parsley24

“ I was never much of a fan of these special type cards ” -Phil

“ Well, he cheated ” -Soarin22


Friday, September 11, 2020

Set: 1992 Ultra (Rate)

Card: #252 Steve Buechele


“ I still love the 1992 Ultra design (any sport). The ONLY thing I don't like about them is the lack of stats on the back. But there just wasn't room to add more stats with the extra photos and I understand that. 1991 Ultra never seemed like a premium product to me, but 1992 and 1993 really put Ultra into the premium realm. ” -spazmatastic

“ Ultra! Love this design in every sport. The baseball version seems kind of bland compared to the more brightly colored version in the NBA and NHL, of which this design was the first year it appeared in those two sports. I completed the NBA set recently and am at more than 50% of the NHL set thanks to getting a sealed box of series 1 for my birthday in 2017. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Someday I'll be able to tell the difference between '92 and '93 Ultra by first glance. Until then, I'll just enjoy the cards for what they are. Looking back at the advent of premium border-less sets in the early '90s, I think Stadium Club had the better photography but Ultra might have been the nicer card overall. ” -mkaz80

“ Awesome card front. Not sure what to make of the grid design on the back. A good looking card overall, imo. ” -CollectingAfterDeath

“ I like most Ultra... FLEER ULTRA sets this one is no exception. I do like the front even though there is no team logo, but at least you can read everything easily. I like the Fleer ball logo. The back I have many issues with but I will skip them and just say "Don't like it" (in the "Men on" style from "In Living Color" when they say "Hated it") ” -captkirk42

“ I bought a lot of these cards as an 11 year old kid. Nice clean design for 1992. ” -rich1516

“ perhaps my least favorite Ultra set for the dumbest of reasons. Ultra was looking to be the premium brand for Fleer, with the gold foil Ultra logo, but this set didn't have it. Ultimately, other Fleer brands became premium, and Ultra settled in as a just a little elevated from flagship. Don't care for the stats on the back being 2 lines: most recent year + career totals ” -abide

“ I still don't get the back of these cards. Why the grid? It's big...it's empty...it's strange. ” -kents_stuff

“ I think this is a similar design to a basketball design too. It's definitely one of the good ones ” -BasketbalHQ

“ Fleer Ultra was cool. ” -muskie027
