Random Card of the Day

Year: 2007

Set: Finest (Rate)

Card: #27 Mark Teixeira


“ Ugh. Mark Teixeira always gives me bad feelings. One of, if not the worst trade the Braves have made in my lifetime. Trading away 5 players, including 3 future All-Stars for less than a year of a player that was good on a mediocre team. Why trade away that much for a team that wasn't close to contention? As for the card it is another mediocre Topps offering, even worse with the duplicate picture on the back. ” -davidhandberry

“ There's a local Polaris atv dealer with a name similar if not matching his last name, I'm not sure. But whenever I see a card of this guy their radio jingle runs through my head, instantly...it just did when I saw this card in the card of the day box. Their ad campaign must have worked because I unplugged my radio almost a decade ago. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Too much border. If you got the mlb license, use the team logos! The plain text "TEXAS RANGERS" at the bottom is just about the most boring way you could display the team. ” -chvlDm

“ A dozen years ago... this was affordable upon release. A tad too much fancy bordering but good quality card stock .An awesome player whose career was cut short and hampered by injuries. ” -baseballcardstoreca

“ This is probably my least favorite Finest set. The design just doesn't do it for me. There were too many 'blah' sets like this towards the end of the '00s decade. ” -mkaz80

“ Mark Teixeira was a great player ” -Tylergallo

The first time I saw this design I hated it's white simplicity. Now it isn't too bad but not much better. A bit too plain.
