Vertical Ben

My preference for baseball cards is that they have a vertical alignment.  I love thumbing through a stack of cards and you can't do that easily with horizontal cards.


Ben Zobrist's 2018 card is horizontal, but I really don't know why.  There is so much dead space on either side of him.  Unless you're an ivy fanatic, the card should be vertical.

Allow me to make the change...


...and now I can thumb through a stack of cards with Ben's card, too.

  1. I don't mind the horizontal so much. I think the image is a bit too close. If the badging on the bottom didn't cover his feet, this card would be much better. And yeah - then I think it would look nicer vertical.

  2. Yes. Yes. Yes!

    I would have been more forgiving of the horizontal card had Topps not cropped off the tip of his glove. I like how you left space at the top of your vertical card.
