Random Card of the Day

“ I've said it before the last time an OPC blank back was CotD - I don't understand the point of these parallels. Only way they can be made worse is if UD made a half-dozen COLOR parallels for blank backs. ” -Theron_Nett

“ Couldn't fit his first name because it's actually Jouwmeester. ” -myrke

“ Forced retro fail. ” -UKboogie

“ More like BouwmeeSTAR, am I right? ” -tenlbpain

“ I like the front of the card. I am not a big fan of blank backs. There is nothing interesting on them. ” -Brendan Barrick

“ Even though they are blank backed I like these retro cards. ” -captkirk42

“ He's definitely making a name for himself for the Dallas Stars. So far (as of the time I'm writing this), he has 8 points (5G, 3A) in 10 games this playoff season. It'll probably be more a week from now when this is the CotD (5/20). ” -Theron_Nett

“ Ultimate level of laziness with the use of the same photo. Flick back and forth front and back, and the image doesn't move. ” -karsal

“ Nice hockey card ” -captkirk42

“ Johnson seems to be sticking his behind in the referee's face after a bad call. Interesting tactic. ” -jdogg1228

“ Funny enough, I just realized this card is open for comment the day before Wyatt's birthday (5/14) and, on another note, he gets two goals in tonight's game (a PPG and a SHG). ” -Theron_Nett

“ If it wasn't for the baseball player on the front, I would've thought "Vogelbach" was the name of an obscure 80s rock band from the stylized text. ” -Theron_Nett

“ I love watching this big boy play, him stealing a base is hilarious. Also, great scan for this card. ” -jdogg1228

“ Looks like a 50 home run guy given how well he fills up the frame. Can't hit a lick. ” -myrke

“ The Man The Myth The Legend ” -Matt9975

“ Specimen ” -Jgamble

“ I am not a fan of Topps Fire at all. Ugh yuck. The purple helps a little but I almost hate them… nope it’s hate. I hate them. ” -missywoo32

“ This guy just looks like a fun goofball to be around. ” -jdogg1228

“ Definitely remember him as one of the Maple Leafs' better coaches. RIP ” -Theron_Nett

“ "The Irish Enforcer" did not particularly curtail his penalty time in later years. Hall of Fame coach though. ” -tenlbpain

“ This guys face is redder than a tomato! ” -Diggsfootball

“ Those 70's flames uniforms are... fire ” -SteelYourFace

“ This is a very nice card. Quinn did end up having a better coaching career, than as a player. ” -Brendan Barrick

“ My favorite (and only) Hockey set I collect! ” -jayoneill

“ Atlanta Flames makes sense. Calgary Flames does not. It's like the New Orleans Jazz and the Utah Jazz. C'mon people, how difficult is it to make a new name when teams move. Can you imagine the Winnipeg Thrashers? ” -hamrlik22

“ They marketed hockey in Atlanta as "Football on ice". ” -cjjt

“ Those 70's flames uniforms are... fire ” -SteelYourFace

“ Another set that was discontinued last year along with Gypsy Queen, Mosaic, and Opening Day. ” -jdogg1228

“ Whoever designs the backs of Panini's cards should never work in graphic design again. ” -UKboogie

“ Knowing what Panini is about, I am amused that they discovered that one can avoid the whole team airbrushing bit if they just can create player postures and positions themselves. Brilliant! ” -myrke

“ I used to love Diamond Kings and then they changed the logo. I don't like the new logo so I'm not a fan of DK anymore. It's kind of a silly reason to not like a card but oh well. ” -ketchupman36

“ There is too much white on the front of this card. On the back, the Diamond Kings logo is too big... It could have been scaled back and some stats added. I like what they did on the front name, but that is the only redeeming quality. ” -Rick Gentry

“ Do I make you Hoerner, baby? *Austin Powers song plays* ” -Theron_Nett

“ Weird contrast of colors, but still a really cool card! ” -Diggsfootball

“ Panini Diamond Kings is not as good as the Original DK subsets of the Donruss Flagshipvsets. ” -captkirk42

“ Two ways you can tell a baseball player is drunk: 1) their baseball helmet is askew and 2) they have dried spittle on their chin. ” -Theron_Nett

“ That helmet a little too small for you, Shawon? ” -jdogg1228

“ Used to enjoy watching him on the Super Channel WGN ” -tinyshogun

“ This is the face you make when the cameraman tells you a good joke when trying to take your picture. ” -DocOso

“ Umm... If you didn't know this was Shawon Dunston... I really don't like stickers. ” -Rick Gentry

“ Nice sticker ” -captkirk42

“ I have no clue what this is, but for some reason I want it. ” -hiflew

“ I am trying to envision a time where a bunch of people were hanging out on the corner smoking and chatting about the coat of arms of churches that the lads had pulled out of their packs that day. ” -myrke

“ A real Bangor of a card. ” -tenlbpain

“ Very nice card! ” -cjjt

“ "Y'know what our coat of arms needs that'll make it stand out from other regions'? A couple of ninja throwing stars and a sash that looks like it's raining spermatozoa!" -Bangor's coat of arms designer (probably) ” -Theron_Nett

“ Nice tobacco era card. ” -captkirk42

“ Minor league baseball has the best team names in sports by far. The Swamp Bats! Awesome! ” -jdogg1228

“ Interesting that a newspaper releases a set of trading cards for the local team. Also, 'Swamp Bats' is the most minor league-sounding name for a team (I love it, btw.). ” -Theron_Nett

“ Whooooo are you? Who? Who? Who who?......ahhh tell me who are you? ” -LeahHobbyShop

“ your 2003 Swamp Bat creepy smile of the year ” -fuzthepoet

“ Steve Blackwood seems like an appropriate name for someone playing on the Swamp Bats. ” -tinyshogun

“ The Swamp Bats? Are teams really that desperate for inoffensive names? Does the mascot hang by the rafters and drop guano on the fans or just dump smelly water on them? ” -hamrlik22

“ I like the very impressive resume on the back, as well as the fact that the author seemed to run out of things to say but needed to fill the space with random facts. Uh, parent names... then, uh, birth date. All done. ” -myrke

“ My little league picture. ” -Papayanz

“ A collegiate league card. I don't think I have ever seen one. Acceptable in design. But, Swamp Bats? Must be some sort of indigenous thing. ” -Rick Gentry

“ Nice minor league card. But it looks like one of those home-made little league cards. ” -captkirk42

“ Doug is staring into the soul of that camera. Also, I really miss upper deck! ” -jdogg1228

“ Even though cards from this set are sometimes missing the year, you can tell that this set is from the 1980s just from that face caterpillar Doug Jones is sporting ” -twinswin

“ That 'stache means business and that gaze looks like it could melt steel beams. ” -Theron_Nett

“ Now thats a proper mustache! ” -LeahHobbyShop

“ What a game changer Upper Deck was back in 1989. How simple and plain this card looks today, but man I love it. Cool design with the first base line. ” -Tscastle

“ I liked the continuity of the design for the first three years of Upper Deck where it "ran the bases". ” -Tscastle

“ Cards like these inspired Stadium Club to become a thing in a few years. ” -myrke

“ Long Live Chief Wahoo ” -bigdawg315

“ His father works for OCP. ” -hamrlik22

“ Doug always had a solid mustache ” -Matt9975

“ If my math is right (a long-shot), Jones was #12 in career saves when he retired. 5 All-Star teams, kind of a forgotten relief ace. ” -tenlbpain

“ A UD classic. I always loved early UD's designs, but not the vertical info on the back. ” -Rick Gentry

“ Early Upper Deck I still have a love for even with their unpopular designs. ” -captkirk42

“ Not a bad Topps design. I liked the 2020's a lot when they came out because they were different from the recent Topps designs. ” -muskie027

“ I really hated this year of update. Not only were there no current all star game cards due to Covid, there were very little stars in the set compared to years past. The worst part is it hasn’t gotten much better since then. Most “updated” cards are offseason signings rather than deals done at the deadline. Kinda defeats the whole purpose of an update set. ” -jdogg1228

“ They really need to bring back the 4 player multi rookies for guys like this. I'd much rather get a card of a veteran middle reliever or platoon position player than a rookie with 22 ABs. But maybe that is just me. ” -hiflew

“ Not a bad looking card. Not too crazy about the name being on the side instead of on the bottom, though. ” -Theron_Nett

“ Another case of Topps desperately adding an obscure rookie to their sets, only for said rookie to quickly go back to obscurity after the set release. ” -myrke

“ Another RC, another guy with 36 career at bats.Meanwhile those poor middle relievers ... ” -tenlbpain

“ An OK Modern Topps card. I don't know about this player because I don't follow the Royals at all. ” -captkirk42
