What a horrible "trading card"! The photo is pretty good (not great), but TCG's just suck in general, IMO. There is always too much garbage on the face of the card and of course the back has to be a common design. I've never cared for gaming cards and never will, no matter what topic is featured. All those games are more confusing than practical anyway.

The "analytics" of the card are basically the statistics that are used everywhere today in every sport. This card didn't create them! But the people paying attention to them back then came up with new ones to concern themselves. If it wasn't for analytics based on statistics: things like Sacks, WHIP, PO's and so on wouldn't exist today. Those are stats that truly tell how well a person plays their position in respective sports. Some positions need analytics to see how well they play that position vs. others at the same position. The best examples are the OL and DL in NFL and a catcher's fielding stats in MLB.

I think I have baseball cards that look just like this. I like TCG sports cards myself. Especially if the picture is large like this one. ------------------------------- I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.
