Random Card of the Day |
Thursday, March 5, 2020Set: 1994 Pinnacle Church's Hometown Stars - Gold (Rate) “ Chick-fil-A or bust. ” -ShoTime
“ Nice food related card right smack dab in the middle of the 1990s. ” -captkirk42
“ Sharp card. Good picture. Clean look, I like it! ” -SandersFan
“ Pretty good card. The only way if could be better is if it was a Chick-Fil-a card. Kind of a sad bio on back tho tbh. ” -parsley24
“ I would eat at Church's 2 or 3 times a week if I got some cards out of it. Also if I could find a Church's. ” -jackal726
“ WOW 4 million cards and not a 1 of these Church cards have i ever had in a lot purchase, who can get me some of these? ” -baseballcardstoreca

Wednesday, March 4, 2020Set: 2002 MLB Showdown Pennant Run (Rate) “ I usually don't like these game cards but MLB Showdown I did like. The designs were nice, the pictures were great and I liked the insert cards that showed a little insight into baseball. Sadly I don't think I own any of the 2002 set, I will have to look into getting some soon. ” -davidhandberry
“ Too much going on in these cards. But that is my own opinion as they obviously were collected by some. ” -parsley24
“ Great baseball strategy game! Played in a league for three years before it died out. ” -jayoneill
“ Game ON. I love/hate these Showdown cards. I have never been a "card gamer" just a collector of the TCG, CCG or whatever you want to call them card games. This 2002 edition (the first one I think) is a bit too busy with the game stats design. ” -captkirk42
“ I do like the NFL Showdown cards but this set just doesn't look very good. Baseball stats are too much on this set. ” -MattyIce2014
“ really cool card. definitely a cool collector card ” -cthayes25
“ I never played any of the TCG/CCG games but I do have a couple MLB Showdown cards in my Griffey collection. But I would never work on a set. ” -Corky
“ These set's checklists were awesome. Pretty much everybody that got playing time got a card. I love that. For many key relief pitchers that I really liked, these are the only cards they ever got. ” -chvlDm

Tuesday, March 3, 2020Set: 1994 Fleer ProCards (Rate) “ Minor league baseball! Always happy to see minor league cards pop up on RCOTD. I miss Procards. Just about every minor leaguer got a card and no parallels, and relatively inexpensive. ” -davidhandberry
“ Nice minor league card. Like it. ” -captkirk42
“ You would think that having the Fleer name on the card would mean the minor league set would look better than the typical minor league set. But then I remembered - card design wasn't one of Fleer's strengths. (I'm an old Fleer fan, too - always liked the simplicity of their designs.) ” -bpaul14
“ On June 5, 1993, Dan Peltier batted seventh in the lineup in a home game at Arlington Stadium against the New York Yankees. This game was to be a career highlight for Dan Peltier. Bottom of the 3rd, Texas ahead 3-2. Two outs. Two runners on. The Yankee starter was struggling. On a 3-0 count, Dan Peltier hit his only major league home run to give the Rangers a commanding 6-2 lead. The tables quickly turned for him later in the game. He would be most remembered for two fly balls that he did not catch in a damaging six-run seventh when the Yankees took a 9-6 lead that would not be relinquished. According to the New York Times, Peltier was charged with an error on a Mike Stanley drive to the fence that cut the Rangers' lead to 6-4. Three batters later, with the score 6-5, he had a decent chance to corral Hensley Meulens's 3-run triple to the warning track and failed again. In an attempt to redeem himself, he opened the bottom of 9th with a single, but was stranded three batters later. ” -jayoneill

Monday, March 2, 2020Set: 1998 Fosse Soccer Stars 1919-1939 : Series 11 (Rate) “ Well the new "flip feature" on RCOTD is cool...this card is not, ” -rmpaq5
“ Terrible Card ” -SandersFan
“ Is this a reprint set or a retro set commemorating a vintage set? If this were a "caption this card" I'd go with some good old Gilbert & Sullivan lyrics from "The Pirates of Penzance" "With Cat-like tread, Upon our pray we steal..." ” -captkirk42
“ Interesting card. Not a huge fan of the artwork itself, but the concept is good. ” -BasketbalHQ
“ I usually love these types of cards, especially the originals but the person that did the face should be doing horror pictures. The face is just awful and almost gives me nightmares just looking at it. ” -davidhandberry
“ Not my kind of card. I prefer a real photo. ” -muskie027
“ Not really into this card. It sort of reminds me of an Allen and Ginter or something along those lines. The back is very plain with very little information. ” -Firemedic1242

Sunday, March 1, 2020Set: 1970-71 O-Pee-Chee (Rate) “ I like this design. ” -Brendan Barrick
“ Ohh, vintage hockey, nice! I wish I had gotten the chance to experience the North Stars. Green and yellow are my favorite colors so I probably would have rooted for them. Of course, the team still exists, but is now in Dallas and doesn't wear yellow. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ Nice, I really like it. Both front and back. ” -Thomas_Kava
“ I love it. The drawn characters on the back by the card number are a big plus for me as well as the font for the teams on the front. ” -rmpaq5
“ Awesome. Cool old card. But I always hated the white dots on the cards in this set. Not sure what they add to the design or what they are supposed to be. They look like someone used a pencil eraser on the card. ” -cjjt
“ When collecting the older hockey cards, I always prefer the OPC over the Topps. ” -Mscott713
“ This is a very nice card, but I don't like the abbreviation for Minnesota. ” -muskie027
“ Front is ok for the era, but the back is great forever. He looks more like an accountant than a hockey player though. ” -davidhandberry

Saturday, February 29, 2020Set: 2016 Topps Gypsy Queen (Rate) “ This guy's name makes me think of food. Change the P to a B and (although spelled differently) you have an Italian pastry. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ Cardinals! Had a good start to his career. We ended up trading him to Oakland in a rare-to-sports humanitarian move so that he could be closer to his mother who was sick with cancer. Sadly she has since passed. He was traded for two infielders that are still adding depth to our farm system and major league bench in Max Schrock and Yairo Munoz. ” -Brimose
“ As a Cardinal fan, I was very hopeful Piscotty would have turned out to be a long term star for the team. But, I am happy the Cardinals were able to make a trade to help him out. All I can say about this card is "it's hideous". ” -bpaul14
“ Ugh. More Gypsy Queen. As a release it still sucks. ” -BrewerAndy
“ Can`t get enough of the GQs....love the graphics,the background(s)..... ” -OogaBooga
“ Gypsy Queen. Hated it when first revived by Topps due to that year's dark gray border. Have grown to like it since. The base cards anyway. ” -captkirk42
“ I really liked Gypsy Queen when it first came out. It was new and interesting but after almost a decade it is time for a new idea. Same goes for the Allen and Ginter sets. ” -davidhandberry

Friday, February 28, 2020Set: 1965-22 Cooperstown Plaque Postcards (Rate) “ I like that some guys who would otherwise be considered disabled have made it in baseball...some all the way to Hall of Fame/Legend status. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ Very nice. For people like me that have never made it to Cooperstown this at least gives us a glimpse. ” -davidhandberry
“ One of the best nicknames in baseball. These cards always remind me of the missed opportunity of not buying a complete set a long time ago and then trying to get as many as possible signed before the HOF's passed on. ” -bpaul14
“ Like the look and idea of it, but even as a postcard it is just too boring for me. ” -captkirk42
“ I love the name Mordecai. ” -parsley24
“ I know the set is considered a classic, but all I see when I look at these cards is the autograph versions that get chopped up and added to sets as a cut signature. ” -Corky

Thursday, February 27, 2020Set: 2016 SAGE HIT - Autographs Gold (Rate) “ Don't like this brand. Totally unlicensed. To me they aren't any different from bootlegs, except possibly worse because they remove all the uniforms. It's a shame because the card designs aren't bad...this one is actually pretty nice. But I'm still glad they are not in any of my sports currently. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ If it is not an action shot you need something to show what sport is being represented. A team name, logo, helmet, something. The only reasons I could tell this was a football card was the WR for wide receiver and the shoulder pads. His name is lost in the background, the two lines in the corner are lost in the background. The back is the common congratulations garbage. Overall this is a waste of a card. Why waste time, ink, and trees to make something so bad. ” -davidhandberry
“ Jgamble needs to analyse this for his "I get the Crappy Autographs" list. ” -rmpaq5
“ Im not a big football collector but the card has a nice gold border and i like the way it blends in with the background ” -RsCards75
“ OK looking auto card. Whoa it's a Sage HIT card. I normally hate those things. (My dislike for Undrafted College Players cards) I can't tell if it is on card or on sticker. I forget how HIT does the autos. ” -captkirk42
“ One of the great receivers in ND history. When healthy, he's been a pretty darn good pro, as well. I usually think SAGE cards are kinda cheap looking, but this one is actually nice. ” -mkaz80

Wednesday, February 26, 2020Set: 1988 Card Collectors Home Run Derby Reprints (Rate) “ On a day we have Chad Chop, we also get Dick Stuart. Have at it everybody, but keep it PG. ” -davidhandberry
“ Why would anyone bother to reprint such a boring, plain card? Maybe they only own a black & white printer? ” -C2Cigars
“ I didn't realize they had run these reprints when they re-aired Home Run Derby in the 80s. I would have been ALL OVER these if I had known. Those episodes are still fantastic all these years later and I wish they'd bring it back in a modern format. Thanks to this, I also learned that Dick Stuart hit 42 homers in 1963. The more you know. ” -crimnos2
“ Not a fan of reprints. ” -NJDevils
“ Nice vintage UGH correction I just noticed it said it is an 1988 REPRINT. UGH. Well at least it isn't a counterfeit. ” -captkirk42
“ I have some of the original television recordings of the Home Run Derby series on DVD that I purchased from Amazon. It's quite funny to watch them. You might see a player smoking a cigarette. The hitters swings are terrible compared to the models of efficiency we see from players now. How the heck these guys hit home runs, I'll never know. ” -bpaul14
“ This is just...boring. ” -YoRicha

Tuesday, February 25, 2020Set: 2018-19 Upper Deck Marvel Annual (Rate) “ Marvel has always had a better presence in the cardsphere than DC does...which is unfortunate for me as I'm a diehard DC fan, having my first DC comic read to me a 5 days old and still reading them 35 years later. I do prefer the Marvel Cinematic Universe by a wide margin, however. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ For some reason looks like Velma from Scooby doo, to me. I don't know Ms. Marvel, but big hand seems like a pretty awful super power. ” -davidhandberry
“ Nice to see comic Non-Sport cards. This one is sort of odd. ” -captkirk42
“ They made a card out of this? ” -bpaul14
“ Hey, Ms. Marvel! With a giant fist! Glad they included her scouting report and went with rate stats rather than counting stats, but where is the overall comparison? What is her SARS+ (adjusted Supervillains Subdued Above Replacement Superhero)? Good, but needs improvement. ” -crimnos2
“ I use to bug my friends in elementary school because they collected these types of trading cards ... now, I kind of wish i collected them. Man these cards a pretty cool looking and just keep looking better and better. ” -ncarmichael22
