But at least get the team the same!! I've seen old Pacific jerseys that mention the team in the write-up, but they don't even do that any more.<br /><br />Which leads to the bigger pet peeve. Say at least that the swatsh is game used by the guy (or gal?) depicted on the card. Doesn't have to be where or when, but at least comfirm for us that you think it's THAT PLAYER's garment. The general disclaimer that the relic isn't "from any particular event, game, or season" or whatever is still WAY too vague, even if they don't want to get sued.<br /><br />And e--gad, those chopped auto cards inside other cards are ridiculous. That's the biggest hype vs. substance cards I've ever seen. Hey! get yer 1 of 1 Franken-card. Yeah, it's unique alright. The way each dumpster fire is unique - ugly and stinky.<br /><br />Lower on my list is the modern League Leader cards that look exactly like regular player cards as you're shuffling through. If you don't stop and squint at the foil lettering, you miss that it's the leader card.<br /><br />Lastly, I really wonder about who composes the insert cards at Topps sometimes. They put out stuff like "Topps 60" or "Diamond Duos" ro "Then and Now" sets that contain cards of guys that set TEAM records, or have won an award once, compared the the guy that did it seven times, or placed 5th on a leader list but the other four ahead of him aren't mentioned. Are they just starting with the list of guys under contract for cards and making up stats to feature them with? I imagine the top leaders in stat categories would become even more repetitive than Topps insert checklists already are, but geez, feature the significant achievements, willya?<br /><br />OK I'm done.

I don't mind it so much on recent tradees, but when someone has been on a team for several seasons, you can at least get a new jersey or use a plain white swatch.<br /><br />The most painful was the Ottawa Senators Team 8's card out of '13 Score. 8 players. Then they get to the final player - Craig Anderson - and an obvious Avalanche swatch. <br /><br />Argh! But at least that saved me $15 on COMC credit.buckstorecardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17593364314991949335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-3230087085502910212015-05-19T20:10:10.524-07:002015-05-19T20:10:10.524-07:00You have to check out the "You Got Boned!&quo...You have to check out the "You Got Boned!" segments from Baseball Card Theater on Youtube if you haven't seen them yet.Rob's Cardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00422667833369184815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-24615682397307300132015-05-19T19:38:15.880-07:002015-05-19T19:38:15.880-07:00haha....

Plus I'm always trading away cards I think are important (but kind of know they aren't) onto unwilling trade partners like TLC who probably have more use for them than I do.Zippy Zappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695389359056056119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-51243084522870259532015-05-19T15:07:58.243-07:002015-05-19T15:07:58.243-07:00I love the Co-Signers sets.

Grudzielanek had 201 in just his second ML season in 1996, so perhaps Topps thought pairing a young guy who eclipsed 200-hits so early in his career might have a Gwynn-like career?
