Random Card of the Day



Tuesday, December 20, 2016

Year: 2011

Set: Bowman Platinum - Gold (Rate)

Card: #97 Evan Longoria


“ Let me guess, whoever scanned this had an Epson scanner? One of mine put those pinkish stripes on all holofoil cards. Not a bad design and an otherwise good scan. I have a green version from this set. I think the set listing may need to be tweaked, I don't think Bowman Platinum should be listed twice...but I may be wrong. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Tough scan. ” -carthage44

“ Bowman Platinum. Too shiny now. A bit too plain. Cool scanning effect though. ” -captkirk42

“ Is that the gold? I can buy the ruby, but that is one ugly scan. ” -rmpaq5

“ I actually kind of like this. I don't get into parallel sets much at all, but this one looks pretty good. ” -switzr1

“ I like it. It has a great clean look, and the baby blue Rays uniform fits it perfect. ” -muskie027

Funny when I clicked on the image to see who scanned it in, it didn't show any lines through the card...same image?

Hmm. It does appear that the scan for this card has changed since the day we all talked about it for RCotD. After reading the comments and my own i now remember it had a rainbow effect on the scan. Now it is corrected.

The way it looked on the "Write One" page was the way it looked first thing this morning.  Sometime between 8 am and 9 am EST today, someone uploaded an improved scan.

I'm guessing someone uploaded a better scan.  I remember asking Admin about uploading some images of cards I had that had stuck together in the packs and were damaged.  I was told then to go ahead and upload them and someone could replace them down the road (I guess the thinking being, an image of the card, even if in poor condition, was better than no image).  They also told me, if a replacement was submitted, the initial person was still reflected as the person credited with the scan.

Actually, looking at the Rudy & Emerald cards, I bet one of those scans were accidently uploaded for this card and it was corrected to the Gold card.  The Emerald scan seems to me was the original scan here.  As the same person is responsible for all three, I'm guessing this is a player he/she collects.

And oops...I see that Tom had already mentioned a new "upload" had taken place this morning!  Okay, I done beating the dead horse!

The new scan makes this card look fantastic!
