Random Card of the Day

I remember this set very well. Ultra-Pro put 1 card from the set in each of their 30-page packs to help entice collectors to buy their product at hobby shops and retail stores. Beckett and Tuff Stuff magazines, as well as other supplies and magazine companies later did something similar. But the Rembrandt cards had the bonus of already being protected in a high-quality page while the magazines had cards in the middle of the magazine or (even worse) floating around inside a plastic bag that sealed the magazine. The way Ultra-Pro shipped packs of pages, the cards were usually kept flat and un-bent in the middle slot of the 1st or 2nd page. The magazine cards were not thought out very well and the mishandling of them led to lots of damaged cards.

Beckett did do something right in that aspect by creating highly collectible cards about 8 years later though. The Beckett Sample Cards are still extremely hard to find at all. And there are a bunch of people still looking to get them. I still don't understand how hard it is to find the Beckett Samples after all these years. I just imagine that somewhere in this country is a forgotten stash of Beckett mags slap full of Sample cards from all sports.

"Limited Edition of 100,000" sounds pretty ridiculous 25 years later. 

Exactly my thoughts that 100,000 would be "limited" although compared to literally millions I guess it's all a matter of ratios. 

I've never been a fan of these types of cards where they airbrush away the team logo.
