Random Card of the Day |
Wednesday, March 13, 2024Set: 2022 Topps UK Edition (Rate) “ Looks like he's got the "heroic running pose" down pat.... ” -Theron_Nett
4
“ Was actually able to find packs of these at my local Walgreens that is not in fact in the UK. Fascinating pick up and even got a few numbered cards. The base card is literally the exact same as the normal Topps set except for the UK flag at the top left, but the parallels are fun and exciting. ” -jdogg1228
4
“ The backs of the UK edition should explain baseball using only slang from various regions of the UK. ” -DarthTempest
14
“ So... I have some of these, I haven't really looked, but I'm wondering if they translate the backs into British English. ” -ray fosse's ghost
3
“ One of my guys on RCOTD! excellent, i'll predict he hits a spring training dinger today as well to cap off the randomness ” -jamestagli
“ Inb4 name changes to Ortiz ” -Thiccolas Cage
“ "UK Edition" and all they do is slap a Union Jack on it ” -SuperJTB2015
3
“ Nice looking "parallel" set. Yes yes I know it isn't a true parallel set as it was distributed separately and exclusively in the UK and only has a third of the number of cards in it than the base USA based flagship base set. ” -captkirk42
“ A UK edition? Something I didn't know. As for the card itself... With the exception of the unreadable position in the bottom right, I liked the '22s. ” -Rick Gentry
1
“ Cheerio, good Sir Gabriel. Pip pip and all that. ” -Uncle Hilgy
2
“ I'd like it better if in addition to the Union Jack on the front there was some cockney phrasing on the back. ” -tenlbpain
1
“ No clue why they need a different edition for the UK— I thought it might be a change to the units for the height and weight measurements, but those are still in feet + inches and pounds. Same with the date format being in North American month/day/year rather than European day/month/year. There doesn't seem to be a difference beyond the Union Jack in the corner. ” -twinswin

Tuesday, March 12, 2024Set: 1998 Comic Images WWF Superstarz (Rate) “ Steven Regal > Steven Seagal ” -Theron_Nett
15
“ "Regal knows more ways to hurt you than an ex-wife and isn't shy about doing it."
Best line on the back of a card I've ever seen. ” -jdogg1228
16
“ Put a ‘z’ on and makes it cool. ” -scottwalker29
2
“ That's a real man's man! ” -jupiterhill
2
“ Everyone looks tough until the Nature Boy puts them in the Figure Four Leg Lock! ” -tinyshogun
5
“ MK. Super plain front that could be any sized photo, back is pretty typical of 1990s products. ” -captkirk42
“ Looks like the tough guy at the bar, but really doesn’t have any fighting skill. ” -Derek McDonough
2
“ When the card design guy thought he'd save a bit of effort and told all the wrestlers to go to Sears for solo family shots. ” -myrke
8
“ Looks like a high school bully on school picture day. ” -twinswin
6
“ Average 90s picture background ” -Papayanz
3

Monday, March 11, 2024Set: 1987 Star Steve Carlton (Rate) “ Front makes Steve look like he's made out of plastic or taffy....maybe even rubber. Also, I'm confused about this being a set from 1987, but the copyright years on the back say "1984." Hmmmm.... ” -Theron_Nett
6
“ He may be a living legend, but even Carlton couldn't just go by his first name. ” -Tscastle
5
“ STEVE ” -SteelYourFace
7
“ Incredible pitcher! One of the best ever!! Love this card!!! ” -tinyshogun
1
“ Nice Star Card. One of the 1970s-80s players I "super collected" back before it was called "super collecting". ” -captkirk42
2
“ The classic Star Co design, which was used for only one more year after this. Considering the method used for getting photos on cards back in the 80s (especially how Star did it), this is a great crop job, well-framed, and really shows the weird way a pitcher's arm bends. I wonder if that was one of his nasty sliders on that pitch. Always great to see a Star Co card pop up here. ” -vrooomed
6
“ What I like about Star is that each card of this 14 card series is chock full of stats and info. It's a whole lotta Steve. ” -myrke
2
“ A Great Pitcher on really bad teams ” -MadMan1978
2
“ all right a steve card. ” -parsley24
2
“ Junky junk wax... Well, maybe pre-junk wax. Ho, hum x3. ” -Rick Gentry

1
“ One of the all time Steves ” -DarthTempest
3
“ I thought the yellows just started this year? ” -Papayanz

Sunday, March 10, 2024Set: 1888 Allen & Ginter World's Champions (N43) (Rate) “ Allen & Ginter before tons of parallels. Although I will say A&G is better about limiting parallels than other products. ” -jdogg1228
5
“ Every time I look at the front of this card, I hear the "Chariots of Fire" theme in my head. ” -Theron_Nett
5
“ Without card collecting, Mr. E.C. Carter would not be remembered by anyone. THIS is why I do this. ” -hiflew
12
“ You're saying I can run fast like E.C. Carter and all I need to do is smoke more Allen & Ginter's? It's 1888, so that info totally checks out. ” -ray fosse's ghost
3
“ There are some interesting categories on the card back checklist. ” -Tscastle
2
“ Wow! Great card. Amazing condition. ” -cjjt
1
“ Wow, look at these athletes, the epitome if human excellence! Anyway you found this card in a cigarette pack so it's safe to say you won't be one of them. ” -SuperJTB2015
1
“ Nice vintage A&G. The modern version would be a "cabinet card". ” -captkirk42
1
“ Love the care and effort put into the art on the front as well as the urgency to fit everything in on the back. ” -myrke

Saturday, March 9, 2024Set: 2016-17 Panini Threads - Hardwood Pioneers Century Proof Red (Rate) “ If there were fewer cards of retired players, I think they might become special again. But when the same players are in set after set after set, they just get repetitive and boring. ” -hiflew
20
“ Best to stay out of his way!! ” -domentho
6
“ Somebody call the Doctor! ” -Musclebeech
9
“ Would have been a better picture if they had shown him with the red-white-blue ABA ball and his giant 'fro. That's what I remember about Dr. J. ” -hamrlik22
3
“ Can't go wrong with "Dr. J!" ” -Theron_Nett
5
“ Borrrrrrrrrrring... ” -Rick Gentry
3

1
“ Blue is the new red. ” -Sportzcommish
2
“ Nice looking card even though the back has the same photo as the front. ” -captkirk42
1
“ Same picture on both sides, check. Boring blurb on the back, check. No stats, check. Oh yeah, it’s Panini alright ” -SuperJTB2015

Friday, March 8, 2024Set: 2004 Topps Tribute HOF (Rate) “ Had no idea Topps Tribute went all the way back to 2004. Great quality cards, too bad they’re like $800 a pack lol ” -jdogg1228
10
“ Unbelievable that a man known for his handlebar mustache would wind up clean-shaven in the random card of the day. ” -DarthTempest
14
“ Really good classic before the mustache. ” -dah15
7
“ Picture taken pre-handlebars. ” -Gunny
4
“ Very odd seeing Rollie without a moustache but the picture has a nice retro/classic look to it. I kind of like it. Nice card today. ” -BuccaneersDen
3
“ What a strange pose. Looks like his left arm is bent horribly backwards. ” -Tscastle
3
“ An OK retro sort of card. Commemrative more like it. Is "commemorative" even a thing anymore, probably not in the trading card world. Probably only in coins and stamps now if there. ” -captkirk42
1
“ An HOF tribute card without the stache is an abomination. ” -parsley24
4
“ Though I really don't like the fuzzy front border, this overall, is a nice card. ” -Rick Gentry
2
“ Rollies just not the same without the mustache ” -cynicalbuddha
4
“ Pre.Best.Mustache.Ever. ” -UKboogie
3
“ If you look closely, you can see the faint shadow of the stellar mustache that would be come the source of his legendary superpowers… ” -Musclebeech
3
“ A 2004 card commemorating an event from 1992 using a picture from 1968. ” -DocOso
6
“ It says "1992," but the look of the guy and the uniform says 1980's... ” -Theron_Nett
2
“ Never mind. Just realized he was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1992 and he DID play in the 80s. Let's see....He's kinda looks like a young....what's-his-face from "Alien?" Harry Dean Stanton! Key word - "kinda." ” -Theron_Nett

Thursday, March 7, 2024Set: 2003-04 O-Pee-Chee - Blue (Rate) “ One of the better Czech players to hit the NHL, but he's no Jagr! ” -Theron_Nett
6
“ At first glance you would think his name was "231/500" with that font size ” -SuperJTB2015
9
“ Topps and their multi-colored borders that pass for parallel cards and giant serial numbers ON THE FRONT. Make the serial numbers smaller and put them on the back. Why ruin a perfectly good action photo with GIANT NUMBERS. Can you tell? I'm not a fan of those numbers. ” -hamrlik22
7
“ Nice OPC card. I like the simple design, unfortunately it is typical late 1990s to early 2000s era which makes it difficult to figure out the year sometimes. ” -captkirk42
1
“ My favorite color is blue. I like this card. ” -Brendan Barrick

5
“ I'm not messing with her. She'll put a voodoo spell on me. ” -tinyshogun
4
“ There certainly is a lot of naoise on this card. ” -tenlbpain
4
“ This one goes into the 'too long, didn't read' pile. Tap everything and hope something blows up. ” -myrke
5
“ i ain't reading all that
i'm happy for u tho
or sorry that happened ” -BillMcCord
1

Tuesday, March 5, 2024Set: 2005 Donruss Gridiron Gear - Gold Holofoil (Rate) “ levitation? ” -fuzthepoet
8
“ Great player, difficult to tackle, especially when he used his levitation abilities shown here. ” -rmpaq5
8
“ Looks like he's getting ready to do the Super Bowl Shuffle or something.... ” -Theron_Nett
4
“ Something is wrong with that photo. Looks like it was taken in a hall of mirrors. ” -hiflew
1
“ I'll give Donruss the benefit of the doubt and say that you could actually read the name on the in-hand card. ” -jdogg1228
2
“ Is he floating in the air? He looks a little like a really detailed helium balloon. Or he's jumping for joy because he's on a gold holofoil card. ” -ray fosse's ghost
2
“ I have had a lot of Gridiron Gear cards over the years through group box breaks, but I don't recall getting too many from '05. The bottom of the design reminds me of a Classics or Prestige design, they both used a similar name in a bar with a white or faded color band on the bottom. ” -captkirk42
“ This card kinda looks like hes floating ” -biggiofn7
2
“ The front of the card is just weird to me. It looks like Lewis is jumping... The name would have been hard to read... The left side of the card takes up too much of the front... Yada, yada... The back is very Panini. ” -Rick Gentry
2
“ Panini has been using this card back for almost 20 years? ” -muskie027

Monday, March 4, 2024Set: 2012 Choice Toledo Mud Hens (Rate) “ The Mud Hens! One of my favorite minor league team names. The Sod Poodles have to be my favorite though… ” -jdogg1228
10
“ Cool team name. ” -Duke
8
“ I like the design, but I wish they would have changed one of the seven mention of Mud Hens to Detroit Tigers so affiliate could be more easily identified. ” -hiflew
8
“ Minor league teams have the best names! ” -lildog7
3
“ Good ole Toledo Mud Hens. Brewster would be s proud! ” -tinyshogun
3
“ Didn't know they used the same camera that the cops use for mugshots on cards ” -SuperJTB2015
5
“ Mud Hens is a great name ” -fuzthepoet
2
“ Whatever the opposite of flattering is, that's what this uniform is doing. ” -twinswin
