Random Card of the Day

Year: 1994

Set: Collector's Choice (Rate)

Card: #436 Mike Butcher


“ The thing that stands out from this average card design is the logo that shows the player's position. The set has five different logos, two for pitchers and three for batters. ” -Sportzcommish

“ I remember buying a lot of '94 Collector's Choice packs as a kid when it first came out. It was the first non-Topps set that I really wanted to complete. It still holds up as an awesome design today! ” -mkaz80

“ I have a soft spot for the Collector's Choice sets, especially this one! ” -carthage44

“ Meh ” -DarkSide830

“ Collectors Choice, a nice cheaper alternative to the popular base sets of the day. Does anyone today have as high a leg kick as does the pitcher in the lower right hand corner? ” -rmitchell6700

“ I like the subtle pinstriped border. More interesting than the plain white in other sports. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Upper deck collectors choice mike butcher angels RHP ” -Jdgetz2004

“ Ohhhhhh good ole Collector's Choice. When I was a kid, I loved grabbing packs of these. ” -nubala

“ I used to love buying these for the silver parallels! Now, I see how how bad the quality they made these. But I still have a lot to add! ” -Joshua825

“ Not bad, but a bigger name and team and less of a generic pitch in the corner would have been better. Upper Deck base was so much better than Collector's Choice. ” -muskie027

Hmm I must have missed this one, or said something super negative. Hehehe. Wow I just noticed the pinstriping on the border I wonder it that was consistnent with the set? I do like the little cartoon of the player's position ala 1971 Topps Football and 73 Baseball and again in 76 baseball. 2004 Topps baseball sort of is included in this as well but the little "cartoons" were a drawing mimic of the actual picture of the player. Back to this design it was used for the other sports as well. I have a ton of trader fodder of the Basketball version to sort though. Heck I have a ton of Basketball trading fodder just to organize. Thanks to a huge bulk box purchase.

Related to Hobie Landrith, the Mets 1st pick in the 1961 expansion draft.

I was just looking for some Butcher cards to send out TTM. Alas I didn't have any, including this one.


-------------------------------

I'll never quit collecting entirely, but I am downsizing. Check out my COMC store and help me thin out what I don't want so I can buy cards that I do want. See something you like? Send me a message on here, and we can knock the price down quite a bit. I'll even take a bit of a loss if it means getting you a card you really want.
