Random Card of the Day |
Friday, March 15, 2024Set: 2020 Bowman Sapphire (Rate) Card: #BCP-115 Jasseel De La Cruz “ Wow that's so sharp I think I cut my eyeballs. Fun fact about Jasseel, he was called up to the big leagues by the Braves twice (in 2020 and again in 2021) without ever appearing in a game and he hasn't gotten any closer than that. ” -ray fosse's ghost
6
“ Bowman parallel 1/125262673! That's one reason I don't like collecting Bowman Prospects but another reason is most of the prospects don't pan out. For team collectors it doesn't matter, but for people like myself who just collect stars and what not if it weren't for the veterans and stars in the base set, I wouldn't buy Bowman product. ” -jdogg1228
7
“ Always love sapphire cards. ” -Papayanz
5
“ Too many De La Cruz's to keep up with ” -tinyshogun
2
“ A little less than OK modern Bowman card. ” -captkirk42
“ "Late bloomer" because he signed at 18, what are they feeding these kids ” -SuperJTB2015
1
“ For front design, I really like this year. Though I have always liked the back info, I wish Bowman did something new/different with it. ” -Rick Gentry
1
“ This card sums up 2020.... A hot mess ” -bigdawg315
3
“ The sapphire is a pain in the butt to scan, so kudos to this user for managing to get a decent scan of this card ” -twinswin
3
“ Looks like a shattered glass parallel, this scanned image is painful to look at. ” -freakizon

Thursday, March 14, 2024Set: 2016 Topps Gypsy Queen - Autographs Green (Rate) “ Hey! It's that one baseball player for the Twins, Gypsy Queen! Wait. That's not his name? Ok. Whew! I was beginning to wonder what his parents were on to give him that name if that was the case. ” -Theron_Nett
5
“ Nice auto, always like when they are on card. Hope Sano can crack the roster for the Angels this year. Solid power bat. ” -jdogg1228
2
“ got 99 cards, this ain't one ” -fuzthepoet
6
“ I don't chase autos, but this looks good. ” -chvlDm
1
“ Thanks for that crystal clear autograph, Mr. Sawg. ” -hamrlik22
2
“ Back when I played fantasy baseball I thought Sano was going to be the next superstar. ” -Matt9975
1
“ I hate when auto cards have BS like that on the back, as if I never would have know what it was by using my eyes... ” -SuperJTB2015
5
“ Nice Gypsy Queen autocard. The first year or two that Topps revived the Gypsy Queen brand I wasn't too keen on them. Thinking that Topps was just cashing in on the retro-brand bandwagon with their Retro A&G success. Then around the 3rd year I saw them more and actually got one or two in a group box break and warmed up to them. ” -captkirk42
2
“ Gypsy Queen is a nice product. I really need to collect more of the line. BUT... On this card, and although I know it makes the autograph easier to read, I don't like the white fade on the bottom. ” -Rick Gentry
1
“ I miss Gypsy Queen ” -Thiccolas Cage
1
“ Miggy! ” -Papayanz

Wednesday, March 13, 2024Set: 2022 Topps UK Edition (Rate) “ Looks like he's got the "heroic running pose" down pat.... ” -Theron_Nett
4
“ Was actually able to find packs of these at my local Walgreens that is not in fact in the UK. Fascinating pick up and even got a few numbered cards. The base card is literally the exact same as the normal Topps set except for the UK flag at the top left, but the parallels are fun and exciting. ” -jdogg1228
4
“ The backs of the UK edition should explain baseball using only slang from various regions of the UK. ” -DarthTempest
14
“ So... I have some of these, I haven't really looked, but I'm wondering if they translate the backs into British English. ” -ray fosse's ghost
3
“ One of my guys on RCOTD! excellent, i'll predict he hits a spring training dinger today as well to cap off the randomness ” -jamestagli
“ Inb4 name changes to Ortiz ” -Thiccolas Cage
“ "UK Edition" and all they do is slap a Union Jack on it ” -SuperJTB2015
3
“ Nice looking "parallel" set. Yes yes I know it isn't a true parallel set as it was distributed separately and exclusively in the UK and only has a third of the number of cards in it than the base USA based flagship base set. ” -captkirk42
“ A UK edition? Something I didn't know. As for the card itself... With the exception of the unreadable position in the bottom right, I liked the '22s. ” -Rick Gentry
1
“ Cheerio, good Sir Gabriel. Pip pip and all that. ” -Uncle Hilgy
2
“ I'd like it better if in addition to the Union Jack on the front there was some cockney phrasing on the back. ” -tenlbpain
1
“ No clue why they need a different edition for the UK— I thought it might be a change to the units for the height and weight measurements, but those are still in feet + inches and pounds. Same with the date format being in North American month/day/year rather than European day/month/year. There doesn't seem to be a difference beyond the Union Jack in the corner. ” -twinswin

Tuesday, March 12, 2024Set: 1998 Comic Images WWF Superstarz (Rate) “ Steven Regal > Steven Seagal ” -Theron_Nett
15
“ "Regal knows more ways to hurt you than an ex-wife and isn't shy about doing it."
Best line on the back of a card I've ever seen. ” -jdogg1228
16
“ Put a ‘z’ on and makes it cool. ” -scottwalker29
2
“ That's a real man's man! ” -jupiterhill
1
“ Everyone looks tough until the Nature Boy puts them in the Figure Four Leg Lock! ” -tinyshogun
5
“ MK. Super plain front that could be any sized photo, back is pretty typical of 1990s products. ” -captkirk42
“ Looks like the tough guy at the bar, but really doesn’t have any fighting skill. ” -Derek McDonough
2
“ When the card design guy thought he'd save a bit of effort and told all the wrestlers to go to Sears for solo family shots. ” -myrke
8
“ Looks like a high school bully on school picture day. ” -twinswin
6
“ Average 90s picture background ” -Papayanz
3
“ This is the picture you would see on a craigslist ad for personal trainer/security guard ” -SuperJTB2015

Monday, March 11, 2024Set: 1987 Star Steve Carlton (Rate) “ Front makes Steve look like he's made out of plastic or taffy....maybe even rubber. Also, I'm confused about this being a set from 1987, but the copyright years on the back say "1984." Hmmmm.... ” -Theron_Nett
6
“ He may be a living legend, but even Carlton couldn't just go by his first name. ” -Tscastle
5
“ STEVE ” -SteelYourFace
7
“ Incredible pitcher! One of the best ever!! Love this card!!! ” -tinyshogun
1
“ Nice Star Card. One of the 1970s-80s players I "super collected" back before it was called "super collecting". ” -captkirk42
2
“ The classic Star Co design, which was used for only one more year after this. Considering the method used for getting photos on cards back in the 80s (especially how Star did it), this is a great crop job, well-framed, and really shows the weird way a pitcher's arm bends. I wonder if that was one of his nasty sliders on that pitch. Always great to see a Star Co card pop up here. ” -vrooomed
6
“ What I like about Star is that each card of this 14 card series is chock full of stats and info. It's a whole lotta Steve. ” -myrke
2
“ A Great Pitcher on really bad teams ” -MadMan1978
2
“ all right a steve card. ” -parsley24
2
“ Junky junk wax... Well, maybe pre-junk wax. Ho, hum x3. ” -Rick Gentry
1
“ (Looks at all-time rankings on back) “So you’re telling me he was good.” ” -tenlbpain
1
“ One of the all time Steves ” -DarthTempest
3
“ I thought the yellows just started this year? ” -Papayanz

Sunday, March 10, 2024Set: 1888 Allen & Ginter World's Champions (N43) (Rate) “ Allen & Ginter before tons of parallels. Although I will say A&G is better about limiting parallels than other products. ” -jdogg1228
5
“ Every time I look at the front of this card, I hear the "Chariots of Fire" theme in my head. ” -Theron_Nett
5
“ Without card collecting, Mr. E.C. Carter would not be remembered by anyone. THIS is why I do this. ” -hiflew
12
“ You're saying I can run fast like E.C. Carter and all I need to do is smoke more Allen & Ginter's? It's 1888, so that info totally checks out. ” -ray fosse's ghost
3
“ There are some interesting categories on the card back checklist. ” -Tscastle
2
“ Wow! Great card. Amazing condition. ” -cjjt
1
“ Wow, look at these athletes, the epitome if human excellence! Anyway you found this card in a cigarette pack so it's safe to say you won't be one of them. ” -SuperJTB2015
1
“ Nice vintage A&G. The modern version would be a "cabinet card". ” -captkirk42
1
“ Love the care and effort put into the art on the front as well as the urgency to fit everything in on the back. ” -myrke

Saturday, March 9, 2024Set: 2016-17 Panini Threads - Hardwood Pioneers Century Proof Red (Rate) “ If there were fewer cards of retired players, I think they might become special again. But when the same players are in set after set after set, they just get repetitive and boring. ” -hiflew
20
“ Best to stay out of his way!! ” -domentho
6
“ Somebody call the Doctor! ” -Musclebeech
9
“ Would have been a better picture if they had shown him with the red-white-blue ABA ball and his giant 'fro. That's what I remember about Dr. J. ” -hamrlik22
3
“ Can't go wrong with "Dr. J!" ” -Theron_Nett
5
“ Borrrrrrrrrrring... ” -Rick Gentry
3
“ Love those old clips of people on rooftops, in trees and hanging out windows trying to see The Doctor. ” -UKboogie
1
“ Blue is the new red. ” -Sportzcommish
2
“ Nice looking card even though the back has the same photo as the front. ” -captkirk42
1
“ Same picture on both sides, check. Boring blurb on the back, check. No stats, check. Oh yeah, it’s Panini alright ” -SuperJTB2015

Friday, March 8, 2024Set: 2004 Topps Tribute HOF (Rate) “ Had no idea Topps Tribute went all the way back to 2004. Great quality cards, too bad they’re like $800 a pack lol ” -jdogg1228
10
“ Unbelievable that a man known for his handlebar mustache would wind up clean-shaven in the random card of the day. ” -DarthTempest
14
“ Really good classic before the mustache. ” -dah15
7
“ Picture taken pre-handlebars. ” -Gunny
4
“ Very odd seeing Rollie without a moustache but the picture has a nice retro/classic look to it. I kind of like it. Nice card today. ” -BuccaneersDen
3
“ What a strange pose. Looks like his left arm is bent horribly backwards. ” -Tscastle
3
“ An OK retro sort of card. Commemrative more like it. Is "commemorative" even a thing anymore, probably not in the trading card world. Probably only in coins and stamps now if there. ” -captkirk42
1
“ An HOF tribute card without the stache is an abomination. ” -parsley24
4
“ Though I really don't like the fuzzy front border, this overall, is a nice card. ” -Rick Gentry
2
“ Rollies just not the same without the mustache ” -cynicalbuddha
4
“ Pre.Best.Mustache.Ever. ” -UKboogie
3
“ If you look closely, you can see the faint shadow of the stellar mustache that would be come the source of his legendary superpowers… ” -Musclebeech
3
“ A 2004 card commemorating an event from 1992 using a picture from 1968. ” -DocOso
6
“ It says "1992," but the look of the guy and the uniform says 1980's... ” -Theron_Nett
2
“ Never mind. Just realized he was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1992 and he DID play in the 80s. Let's see....He's kinda looks like a young....what's-his-face from "Alien?" Harry Dean Stanton! Key word - "kinda." ” -Theron_Nett

Thursday, March 7, 2024Set: 2003-04 O-Pee-Chee - Blue (Rate) “ One of the better Czech players to hit the NHL, but he's no Jagr! ” -Theron_Nett
6
“ At first glance you would think his name was "231/500" with that font size ” -SuperJTB2015
9
“ Topps and their multi-colored borders that pass for parallel cards and giant serial numbers ON THE FRONT. Make the serial numbers smaller and put them on the back. Why ruin a perfectly good action photo with GIANT NUMBERS. Can you tell? I'm not a fan of those numbers. ” -hamrlik22
7
“ Nice OPC card. I like the simple design, unfortunately it is typical late 1990s to early 2000s era which makes it difficult to figure out the year sometimes. ” -captkirk42
1
“ My favorite color is blue. I like this card. ” -Brendan Barrick

6
“ Now I realize why these card games take days to finish one match, each card has a different essay on how it's used ” -SuperJTB2015
5
“ I'm not messing with her. She'll put a voodoo spell on me. ” -tinyshogun
4
“ There certainly is a lot of naoise on this card. ” -tenlbpain
4
“ This one goes into the 'too long, didn't read' pile. Tap everything and hope something blows up. ” -myrke
5
“ i ain't reading all that
i'm happy for u tho
or sorry that happened ” -BillMcCord
1
“ I thought this was a fancy Magic The Gathering card at first glance, but saw the back and title. ” -captkirk42
