Set: SAGE HIT - Design for Success Green (Rate)

Card: #D-8 Tye Hill


“ Why is he in a glass? There's gotta be a record somewhere for more whitespace in a regular card. ” -volbox

“ Very magical, looks like he's appearing from the swirling smokish stuff...why? Two thumbs down on this one, front & back. ” -Kaline6

“ These HIT cards are starting to grow on me. ” -RoyalChief

“ Weirdest front EVER. ” -DarkSide830

“ I just added this card on New Years! Nice!!! ” -carthage44

“ Is that a votive candle and you are supposed to light his helmet? Certainly the card was not designed with success in mind. ” -NJdevils

“ No sir, I don't like it. -Mr. Horse from Ren & Stimpy ” -jupiterhill

“ Awesome!! Football players and "will it blend", together at last on a trading card. Never heard of this set, but the back suggests this design was a winning entry in a contest. It would be cool to see your design on an actual production card... ” -dilemma19

“ UGH Never been a fan of HIT because it is all College. Sure I'll get guys who are on my Homie teams or the guys who I PC but out of that I hate this stuff. That aside the front is so-so all white designs don't often work well this one doesn't what is with the squares? Back is OK but since they are all college guys even if they did put stats on the back they wouldn't take up much room. ” -captkirk42

“ What the...???? I'm at a loss for words. Or more correctly, too many negative words to choose from. ” -C2Cigars

This card helps to completely explain why SA-GE, Inc. is just making greeting cards now. They make garbage. Also, what about this card makes it a "Green" card? Is it just a bad scan?

I never liked any Sage football products and they are right there with Press Pass football and UD (after they lost the NFL license). I don't like college cards in any sport, mostly b/c I know the athletes aren't making ANY money from these, but the NCAA is making millions from the licensing!!! Now licensing is changing there too, so the colleges are making tons of money off of that, as well as ticket sales. Why aren't the athletes paid anything? The non-scholarship athletes get nothing but health care IF they get hurt. Scholarship athletes get free health care and free education for as long as they are in school.

I just noticed the line about traderretreat.com on the back. That was the best forum for cards in the early 2000s, I was a regular member and even won Member of the Month more than once. Then it just fizzled out. I think it was when they changed forum hosts and lost everything that had been done before.The participation and level of activity never really recovered. I think it's still around but now it gets about 1 post a week in the basketball section. It's sad because it was a vibrant, active forum for a while. It used to be if you made a post, so many new posts would come along it would be a page or more back within a couple of hours. I vagely remember when this contest was held but did not enter it. I have not looked for the site since my last computer died in December 2012, so take my remark about activity with a grain of salt. I should look to see if it has made a comeback or is even still there.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

Ugly design on the front. It looks like he's stuck in an orange tornado.

I only have a few of the SAGE cards and not impressed with the red glitter on the cards that fall off them. Red. Glitter.
