Random Card of the Day

“ Wow ! I've never seen these nor do i own any from this set . I want some , super clean no borders and all you want on a card front is there, cool spanish only issue. ” -baseballcardstoreca

“ Don't know which is stranger for this card; it being in a ferren language or Larry Walker as a Rockie? ” -captkirk42

“ Not a bad looking front. The back needs more stats though. ” -muskie027

“ awesome card. awesome player. ” -kjv63078

“ Larry Walker was awesome! Great player! ” -cjjt

“ Love this product! I'm a sucker for any Spanish-edition type of card set. ” -mkaz80

“ until I really became a twins fan after high school in 2005, I always said I was rockies fan, and larry walker was the only player I knew, while I don't collect baseball, i'm really digging this card design ” -Thunderfoot

“ Strange I don't think I have ever seen this set before, which is rare for a baseball set, especially Donruss, for me. It is a nice front but the back is not my favorite, though I like the color scheme. ” -davidhandberry

“ RCOTD is an amazing vintage card and Write One is honestly one of the worst hockey cards I have ever seen. It looks like he skated through the Matrix, too bad that was almost a 15 year old movie at this time, so a bit dated. The front and the back have the same pictures and mostly the same wording, repeated, in the same font so it is obvious someone copy and pasted the front to the back and changed the color of the text. This is almost Topps level laziness on this card. ” -davidhandberry

“ Clean card free of borders and frames , high sponsored is what this insert could have been titled. Still nice seeing a Jokerit uni and how stuff's done elsewhere. ” -baseballcardstoreca

“ I wish I had access to European hockey sets. I'd collect them! ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Never a big fan of foreign jerseys due to all the ads, but I understand why. ” -Mscott713

“ I feel like someone else pointed out a similarity recently, but why does it say "High Scores" when the rest of the card is in Finnish? ” -vanstryland

“ Nice looking card. Shame they use the same photo front and back. Don't like the foil lettering hard to read player name that is dwarfed by insert set title. Card set made in Finland written in Finnish? Like the team name "Jokers". ” -captkirk42

“ That jersey tho Same back photo as front photo... booo ” -parsley24

“ Uniform or PJs for a 8 year old? ” -NJDevils

“ Valtteri’s bro ” -Paullilko

“ Until reviewing this card I never realized how much Donruss influenced Pinnacle. Take away the baseball section of the border and I would think it was a mid 90's Pinnacle card. This was the first year I collected but ironically I didn't care for Donruss at the time and mostly collected Topps. Now I dislike Topps and miss all the other card companies (Donruss, Fleer, Score, etc.). ” -davidhandberry

“ Love this set. It's simple but has character. ” -chvlDm

“ Ugh ! Have the card-makers learned from history that it's just too difficult to get clean cards when using black borders? Ron lost a bid for a no-hitter with 2 outs in the ninth. ” -baseballcardstoreca

“ I thought this was a good design at the time. Still think that way. ” -cjjt

“ I always like when a real aka: Original Donruss card pops up. In many ways I am glad that Panini is keeping the brand name alive but in most ways I wish they hadn't. This original card has the aesthetic feelings that the new Panini cards can't capture. ” -captkirk42

“ The only good thing about this card is the logo on the front. oh, I am not a Reds fan, just like the logos on front. ” -NJDevils

“ I love this set. In terms of overall year for all sports and all companies, is 1987 the best design year ever? For me yes! For others, I'll probably get yelled at for saying that, but the baseball sets were awesome and the Topps Football set was great too. Hockey was pretty great. I don't remember basketball, but I give it all to 1987! ” -muskie027

“ Probably my favorite 80's Donruss Design. Like the black border. ” -kirkscards

“ Why is the picture limited to one little part and the rest is basically blank space? The back at least has writing on those spaces but the front is as bland as I have seen on a card. I like the coloring and the design but it should have had her name or credits or something on the front. ” -davidhandberry

“ wow so much unused space what a boring card ” -aussiewayne

“ Never heard of her or the movie mentioned on the card back. At least I have heard of her fiance. This card was obviously designed for an autographed parallel. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Ahh the old Panini creates another parallel by not putting in a relic or an auto trick, leaving a crap load of empty space and dead trees for no good reason whatsoever. ” -rmpaq5

“ The back is Perfect and Fantastic..... ” -parsley24

“ They should have told her to stand still before she walks out of the picture. 80% of nothing on the front. Another fine Panini job ” -NJDevils

“ Nice looking base card, but really obvious they intended to have an autograph in the blank space, and/or some "used on screen" relic. ” -captkirk42

“ Wow, what a terrible, bland card with gaping chasms of blank or weirdly-filled space. Heck, at least let me see the front of that dress.... ” -Vvvergeer

“ Perfect example to argue about not creating a card around an autograph and then having a non-autographed version. Bonus points for Noureen DeWulf, her character in the Anger Management television show was hilarious. ” -Corky

“ There is too much blank space on this card. Clearly it was designed for an autograph ” -ketchupman36

“ This looks like they forgot the auto. ” -muskie027

“ I like the front design. The picture on the other hand. Could you possibly get a worse picture of a person? The photographer should have been immediately terminated and sent back to taking mall Glamour photos like he did on the back. The back would be good with just a color background, not another boring white back. ” -davidhandberry

“ The lesser-known of the Hamr Bros. Did not follow Roman to the NHL . Obviously a terrible front picture , at least the back shows face.Wondering if these factory sets have bricked over the years. ” -baseballcardstoreca

“ Some French-only hockey card of an EXTREMELY mediocre player judging by the stats. Why even bother... ” -Eofet

“ This is what you get when you are essentially making bootlegs. At least it's a hockey card. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ I once gave my high school French teacher a French Flyers card (her favorite team) for bonus points. Don't know if I got them. Je parle un peu francais, mais lis mieux. ” -Mscott713

“ Could be anyone with a Hamrlik jersey. ” -cjjt

“ That's not Martin Hamrlik. That's Gunny in disguised. ” -deporcoruña

“ so little effort went into this. ” -NJDevils

“ Roman Hamrlik’s bro ” -Paullilko

“ Not into the Classic brand (even though I loved the original Donruss "Classics" brands, not to confuse the two). I thought I had some Hamrlik cards but I was confusing him with his Brother Roman who played in the NHL. Martin didn't play in the NHL but did play in other leagues. ” -captkirk42

“ I never know how I feel about these Classic cards. On one hand they are bland and I don't really like them and the whole game thing I didn't get. I don't even know which cards go with the game and which don't. On the other hand, there is a beauty to their simplicity. ” -muskie027

“ Ugh. Mark Teixeira always gives me bad feelings. One of, if not the worst trade the Braves have made in my lifetime. Trading away 5 players, including 3 future All-Stars for less than a year of a player that was good on a mediocre team. Why trade away that much for a team that wasn't close to contention? As for the card it is another mediocre Topps offering, even worse with the duplicate picture on the back. ” -davidhandberry

“ There's a local Polaris atv dealer with a name similar if not matching his last name, I'm not sure. But whenever I see a card of this guy their radio jingle runs through my head, instantly...it just did when I saw this card in the card of the day box. Their ad campaign must have worked because I unplugged my radio almost a decade ago. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Too much border. If you got the mlb license, use the team logos! The plain text "TEXAS RANGERS" at the bottom is just about the most boring way you could display the team. ” -chvlDm

“ A dozen years ago... this was affordable upon release. A tad too much fancy bordering but good quality card stock .An awesome player whose career was cut short and hampered by injuries. ” -baseballcardstoreca

“ This is probably my least favorite Finest set. The design just doesn't do it for me. There were too many 'blah' sets like this towards the end of the '00s decade. ” -mkaz80

“ Mark Teixeira was a great player ” -Tylergallo

“ I tried getting into this show. I failed. I watched the first season and never got around to the second. As for the card, it is a decent looking non sport card. Didn't realize Topps was still doing non sports cards. ” -davidhandberry

“ *Spoiler alert* I don't think he survives. ” -YoRicha

“ Yuck. Just couldn’t get into Walking Dead for some reason. Probably all the yuck. ” -Brimose

“ Lol , the survival box , doesn't look like the subject will survive , nor does anyone on that show. At least once the show is done Topps has given fans enough WD sets to remember something that to me is quite forgettable.RIP Reg! ” -baseballcardstoreca

“ Modern Non-Sport. OK. I don't watch or collect The Walking Dead so I am not interested in the subject matter but the card look is pretty good. ” -captkirk42

“ Is that....Mitch McConnell?! ” -Vvvergeer

“ OPC cards were notorious for being miscut, off-center and rough edges. ” -NJDevils

“ I have no idea what this is. ” -beansballcardblog

“ Always thought Finest was a misnomer. They were not the finest but I guess when you are comparing it to most Topps sets it doesn't take much. The front is decent. The back, I like the picture and that is about it. ” -davidhandberry

“ Fast forward 24 years later and we still have refractors. His identical twin brother was also a pitcher.Never been a fan of a protective coating with words telling me my card comes with a protective coating. ” -baseballcardstoreca

“ Refractors are always awesome. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ As much as I have always enjoyed the earlier years of Topps Finest, I still dislike the protective coating you need to peel off to enjoy how nice the cards actually are. I peeled the ones in my collection. ” -YoRicha

“ Does anyone take the film off? ” -parsley24

“ I thought I had this card, but when I looked, I didn't. Turns out I have the base card, not the refractor. Third year of Finest in baseball, and despite the cheesy background graphics, I really like the set. And then for the RCOTD, it's a Phillies card, and I always like seeing that! ” -vrooomed

“ there is very little about this card or set that I like or can make a positive comment about. I was going to try to comment about the player but I am not familiar with him. I sort of recognize the name so I might have a card of his, or maybe I have a card of his twin brother Mark. Yeah I found out his twin brother also was a player. ” -captkirk42

“ Not crazy about the front - the background detracts from the picture of the player. The back, however, is beautiful. The layout is nice, and the picture of the player looks good. ” -georgecf

“ Vintage hockey + defunct team = pure awesome. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ I don't know enough about this card but if that action photo in the background is of him then this is the best hockey front I have seen. Action with a headshot and clear writing. I can't think of anything better than this card. The back is lacking something. I love the facts and cartoon but it's lacking something to me. ” -davidhandberry

“ Sweet vintage card ! From an era when there were no C RW and LW position designations. 1 of about 47 total options for Ted Hampson whereas nowadays you get that of 1 player in 1 release. ” -baseballcardstoreca

“ Cartoons on the back are awesome. After that much is to be desired. Why are all the players secondary to the "action" behind them? It gets worse with other teams like the Bruins where the background is tinted yellow. Yuck. ” -rmpaq5

“ Totally awesome! ” -cjjt

“ Always seems lazy to me when there's a card with a player's new team on it but a main picture of the player in his old team's uniform. Organization eventually merged with the North Stars. ” -vanstryland

“ Cool Vintage Hockey (even though it predates my Capitals) I have always liked this set. Seems a bit ahead of its time though feels more like a mid 70s set rather than late 60s. ” -captkirk42

“ Wish I had access to hockey cards in the years prior to 1980. Love the backs! ” -NJDevils

“ Good looking vintage card. ” -parsley24

“ Not sure on this one. There is something awesome with its age and the actual helmetless posed photo of the player, but I am not sure if the whole set having a drawn in background that is so dominant. I am assuming Hampson is in there somewhere drawn in? I feel like I shouldn't like this. But I do. On another note, it is opening night of the season and this is the RCOTD to write about. Coincidence? ” -muskie027

“ Panini briefly resurrected Pacific and that was a very good thang(pardon the pun) Nice higher end rookie of a player who never sniffed much NHL ice time ” -baseballcardstoreca

“ I bet he got called Wild Thang often throughout his life... probably still does! ” -Billy Kingsley

“ This is a really sharp looking card. Very nicely done. ” -SandersFan

“ Thang only played one game in the NHL. ” -Tylergallo

“ I am not a huge fan of the Crown Royale Crown die-cut cards. Can't tell if this is one of those regular die-cuts or a regular full non-die-cut card. If it is non-die-cut then I like it a little, if it is die-cut then UGH. ” -captkirk42

“ i dont like the position next to the last name on the back. It makes it look like it is part of his name. ” -parsley24

“ Ain't no thang like a Ryan Thang! ” -muskie027

“ Looks like a throwback to Pacific cards of the early 2000's but not as well done. The writing is barely legible on the front and way too small on the back so they could fit in a way too large team logo. I like the ornate animals on the back crown but they are barely able to be seen because they blend into the crown. Panini at least you tried, failed but tried. ” -davidhandberry

“ I love die-cut cards. I love Crown Royale cards. I don't love hockey, but I still like the card. Nice design on the front and back. I can't complain about the stats since he only played 1 game that year. But a little head shot just above the Panini logo on back would have been a nice addition. ” -spazmatastic
