Random Card of the Day

Year: 2008

Set: Upper Deck First Edition (Rate)

Card: #215 Billy Butler


“ This was a very nice set, but I hated the first edition vs. normal set with the only difference being foil wording on the front and the first edition written under the name. ” -davidhandberry

“ I hope the photographer got out of the way before he got run over by Mr. Butler. ” -John Kerry

“ It looks like Billy is really trying hard but has trouble getting going. Not a bad set, but not particularly noteworthy, either. Good use of action shots on the fronts, and nice head-shots on the backs. The design seems very boring yet is also "clean" and with little imagination. Typical Upper Deck. ” -georgecf

“ I like the simple, borderless design. Reminds me of Stadium Club. ” -olerud363

“ Not sure what First Edition was, but what a very nice looking card it is! ” -muskie027

“ Really like the back. I'm guessing many will have qualms with the lack of a border, but I like it. I personally don't see a need for a first edition. ” -vanstryland

As much as I hated the "difference" between the regular and first edition being just the foil lettering vs regular lettering I prefer the first edition with normal lettering that I CAN READ.

I think 1st Edition is a marketing ploy, as Topps has Opening Day, only diff is say an added logo/font diff whatever. I'd rather have just the base set of that year. I miss Upper Deck :( competition between 2 brands!
