Random Card of the Day



Tuesday, June 18, 2019

Year: 2004

Set: Choice US Women's National Soccer Team (Rate)

Card: #16 Abby Wambach


“ It may just be me...but doesn't the ball look photo shopped in? It is right in front of her, she is looking nowhere near it, and it seems disproportionate in size. The look on her face is one of celebration, like she is running toward a teammate to celebrate. Even the lighting on the ball seems off compared to the rest of the card. ” -rmpaq5

“ I don't really follow soccer, but even I know who this is. However, I didn't realize her career lasted as long as it did. That's impressive. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Nice looking card, but I can't buy into the supposed "randomness" of a women's soccer card being featured during the Women's World Cup. ” -bevans

“ Coincidence? Probably. But nice to see a card of the greatest US Soccer team! Abby Wambach deserves way more praise & celebration & money than she has gotten. USA! USA!! USA!!! ” -cjjt

“ ABBY! Nice Woman's soccer card. ” -captkirk42

“ The Women's World Cup just began... coincidence? ” -AirPete

“ With the Women's World Cup going on right now, this doesn't feel random. ” -deporcoruña

“ I like this card. As usual, it loses points for same picture front and back, but overall it is solid and to be honest, I wouldn't mind seeing a few more main stream cards for women's soccer and basketball. I know sets exist, but they are not easy to get. ” -muskie027

I'm critiquing along with rmpaq5, top commenter. To me, it looks like Abby just made a pass and is exhausted from probably beating an opponent to the ball, outmaneuvering, or running from an opponent during a pass. That's a grimace on her face. I see how the ball looks, the lighting, the face, but I don't see how important it would be to Photoshop the ball in when players and photographers know action shots when they see them. Perhaps, this card is all the more special because she may have just put all her might and energy into booting the ball downfield!

Moreover, someone on the field may have just blasted the ball past her and she is running to cut the other players off. Which position did she play? That tells something too.
