Random Card of the Day |
Tuesday, December 3, 2019Set: 1984 Topps - Collector's Edition (Tiffany) (Rate) “ Shouldn't there be words on his jersey? Maybe they didn't have one, I don't know baseball but this just strikes me as unusual. At least he looks happy to be there. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ The good ol' days. When Topps had one parallel. Looked up a player yesterday, he had one card in his career but there were 46 parallels. ” -davidhandberry
“ Nice card. We've had Tiffany versions before. They are like the regular flagship set except they have a glossy finish on the front and the back cardboard stock is usually bleached white not the standard non-bleached cardboard. Of course in less than 10 years time (about 8) Topps would be using the thinner bleached white cardstock instead of their standard unbleached cardboard stock. ” -captkirk42
“ loved the design. one of my alltime favorites. Working on completing this set now.... Plus its a mariner. Go matt young ” -parsley24
“ Look how young Matt was, ok sorry! Imagine a premium brand from 1984, this was it. Too bad imagination wasn't available at Topps back then and now hmm well ... ” -baseballcardstoreca
“ Nice card ” -cjjt
“ Never got into the Tiffany thing. Never saw the point. One of the first same size parallels? ” -NJDevils
“ Love this set ” -RoyalChief
“ The 1984 Topps design is one of my favorites. ” -muskie027

Monday, December 2, 2019Set: 1972 Brooke Bond Prehistoric Animals (Rate) “ So at first I was like a neat looking dinosaur card, then I looked up the actual dinosaur and this looks nothing like the actual dinosaur. It looks like a 10 years old's painting of a dinosaur and not necessarily this dinosaur. It walked hunched over, not erect like this one, it had a beak, and the tail was raised, not on the ground. Those are just the main differences I can see immediately. ” -davidhandberry
“ Cool. Who doesn't like dinosaurs? I can't read the back but my eyesight is awful, I'm glad we now have the ability to enlarge scans that are posted. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ I was interested in dinosaurs a few years before I found baseball cards. ” -volbox
“ I absolutely love tobacco size cards, dinosaur cards not so much. ” -Gunny
“ Pretty cool cards. ” -parsley24
“ I like this a lot. Not familiar with Brooke Bond cards but would like to learn more. ” -NJDevils
“ Ah the Jurassic era of trading cards. LOL. Nice looking dinosaur card. ” -captkirk42
“ Wonderful! I want an autographed version! ” -cjjt
“ I love this and wish there were more sets like this that were affordable. Simple, basic and something pretty neat to collect. I'd collect most sets that fit that bill. ” -muskie027

Saturday, November 30, 2019Set: 2012-13 Panini Contenders - Legendary Contenders (Rate) “ Nice looking front but the text is too small and especially the text at the bottom is lost with dark text on a dark background. Printshop 101, light text on dark background, dark text on light background. The back with one decision goes from very good, to very bad. We all know what it is and I feel bad having to repeat myself but using the same image for the front and back is just laziness or cheapness. ” -davidhandberry
“ This is a very herky-jerky card. (Seriously, he loved that phrase when he was a tv broadcaster!) One of the retired players you don't see as often. Became a coach after playing and coached the Bulls in Jordan's early days and the Wizards in the Jordan era. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ Cool retro shot! Some career stats on the back would have been nice. Clean design on the front just missing position. ” -baseballcardstoreca
“ love it. ” -parsley24
“ Nice Contenders card. Much different design than normal. I like it. Don't know much about the player. Back is just Eeeh. ” -captkirk42

Thursday, November 28, 2019Set: 2002-03 O-Pee-Chee (Rate) “ Bold choice to go with an eggplant colored border. I have to admit, the Senators have my favorite logo in sports. Both this one and the current one. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ An interesting OPC set, as it was produced by Topps at the time. Upper Deck would soon have full control though. ” -Mscott713
“ Overall very nice front, wish they hadn't put the grey part under the name, silver on maroon would have popped, silver on grey is hard to see. The same with the silver OPC logo in the corner, hard to see. The back is near perfection. I wish they had taken his helmet off but you can still see his face pretty clearly so that is a minor issue. ” -davidhandberry
“ Great front, great back, not so great prospect for the NHL but decent prospect for the KHL. ” -Gunny
“ not too bad of a card. i need more contrast in the name from the background. ” -parsley24
“ NIce OPC hockey card. Looks a lot like a Bowman card, glad they don't do that crazy code numbering/lettering that Bowman does. ” -captkirk42
“ The back of that card is everything a sports card should aspire to be. ” -mkaz80
“ Nice card. I like the look of it. ” -cjjt

Wednesday, November 27, 2019Set: 2015 Topps 60th Anniversary 5x7 (Rate) “ Nice throwback design. Even though it's just a cutout of the player, it works. I actually have an example of the 1968 set this is based on, kind of unusual as I'm not a football collector by any means. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ When doesn't Topps celebrate an anniversary? ” -ShoTime
“ Also...J.J. Watt sounds like a really good person, I've heard about some of the charity work he's done. No matter what he does on the field, it sounds like he's a winner. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ Superb over-sized card and serial #'d too!(of a future HOFer) Always a challenge to keep any card mint even more so for bigger cards. ” -baseballcardstoreca
“ Love this design on these cards on the front. The back goes back to the gross topps design from modern. ” -parsley24
“ Like these retro cards, but when Topps does this anniversary thing and makes the back a special ad for the anniversary instead of making a retro back I don't like them. Good player though. ” -captkirk42
“ nice throwback, to bad jj cant stay healthy ” -Thunderfoot
“ J.J. Watt is a TANK ” -Tylergallo
“ I love the design, though I would have preferred that Topps left the action shot background behind him instead of the blue background. The back of the card is the typical tribute style card that I don't really care about but I understand why it is used. ” -Corky
“ Scary to think how good he would be if he never got hurt. A true great even with the injuries. ” -muskie027

Tuesday, November 26, 2019Set: 2015 Upper Deck Marvel Ant-Man (Rate) Card: #12 Darren leads his guests to the Future's Vault... “ The card's a little lackluster but the Ant-Man movies are great. The sequel is actually better than the original. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ I don't collect movie/tv cards and one of the big reasons is cards like this that have no action and no big plot points. The front is bland, the back is awful. ” -davidhandberry
“ Nice to see Upper Deck taking care of good ol' Fleer's Marvel , too bad non-sports can't rely on any athletic skills to boost values. ” -baseballcardstoreca
“ I collected the basketball version from 1997-98. Completed the series 1 set and recently sold it. Remember some cool inserts and parallels. Only bought a few packs of the baseball however as this came out around when I quit collecting for awhile. ” -Sinnycool
“ One of mine and Mrs Gunny's fave Marvel movie. I enjoyed the card set as well. Nice base set and some cool inserts that paid tribute to the comic book origins. ” -Gunny
“ OK Non-Sport. At first I thought this was Vin Diesel but it isn't. ” -captkirk42

Sunday, November 24, 2019Set: 2014 Grandstand Charleston RiverDogs (Rate) “ I did not know Chris Angel had a baseball card!! I love minor league cards. I wish that hadn't used a white border but the faded look is nice. The back is better than most pro league cards. ” -davidhandberry
“ This is an A+ photo choice for any card, never mind a minor league issue. Nicely done, Grandstand! ” -mkaz80
“ I haven't had a card I have been excited about in a while, but this one has me jumping for joy. Great photo. Design front is not so bad, would prefer something different that the 2014 that is there. ” -parsley24
“ he's floating! love minor league stuff ” -Thunderfoot
“ Nice minor league card. ” -captkirk42
