A few random thoughts....
- I give the card design a thumbs up. It's fairly minimal, which I like. Busy designs give me a headache. And the baseball diamond theme is nice.
- The "Career Chase" line on the back of the card is the dumbest things I've seen on a card in a long time. Does anyone care that Carter Capps is 1,234 games away from Jesse Orosco's all-time games pitched record of 1,252 games.
- Topps needs to stop the Mickey Mantle thing. Skipping card #7 makes no sense. The Mick has been gone for 18 years. Time to move on.
Here's what I liked best about the set....Retro Uniforms!
Finally, for those of you that are team collectors, I've got the checklist broken down by team. The big winner....the Yankees (of course). At the other end, the Twins scored only four cards.

Man, even the Marlins had more players in Series 1 than the Cubs. I didn't think Miami had any players left to represent them. What gives?
ReplyDeletePaul- I always appreciate when you list the full set by team. As a Marlins fan and collector, I was happy to see them have 7 cards in the set. 4 of the 7 players represented are no longer on the team, and 1 or 2 will probably be in the minors at the start of the 2013 baseball season, but I am happy to see the team represented nonetheless...
