Random Card of the Day

Year: 1992

Set: Wild Card - Red Hot Rookies Silver (Rate)

Card: #11 Surprise Card


“ I hate redemption cards. I older packs and get things like this quite often and if you missed the date on the card you are out of luck. I have gotten several that would have given me very nice cards but I was a few months behind and so therefore out of luck. It is ok when the card is actually a picture of a player or something of some redeeming value even if you don't redeem in time but when you end up with something like this that is basically going at the bottom of a box somewhere in the attic it really hurts. Here is a rare 1 of 1 card, oops you missed a deadline, here is a piece of trash that you can use to protect other cards. ” -davidhandberry

“ I'll be surprised if anyone says anything nice about this card! ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Who doesn't like a surprise? Especially if you have to pony up more $ to get it shipped to you. 1 of the many exchange type cards Wild Card tried to woo collectors with FAIL ! ” -baseballcardstoreca

“ My favorite card company. The premise was clear, and the possibility of completing a master set seemed humanly possible (even if it probably wasn't). Of course, this particular card doesn't represent their characteristic "stripe" concept. ” -altaeria

“ Someone should try to redeem it now. After all, it says AFTER March 1, 1993! Does anyone know what was in the surprise package? ” -DocOso

“ Just in case there were any conspiracies running around that RCOTD isn't truly 'random'... ” -Brimose

“ You won! Now send us more money for additional cards. ” -vanstryland

“ IN general I like the Wild Card brand. However I don't like the all draft versions, this set was full NFL not draft I think. This "Surprise Card" is pretty neat, but to be part of the set is a bit weird. Even with my weird tastes. I sort of like this better than some of the regular base cards. ” -captkirk42

“ Did anyone actually exchange the Wild Card stripes for the surprise package? ” -Corky

“ Surprise!!! ” -cjjt

This isn't a Wild Card "Stripes" card. This was for the Red Hot Rookies insert set! Those insert cards don't really show up often. They may not have much value for that RC Class, but they are still a bit hard to find. I'm guessing that not many of these were redeemed, considering the amount of cards that would be on the market if they had been redeemed. I wouldn't care to have this card now, but I'd have loved to pull it back in 1992.
