Random Card of the Day

If any of you Mets fans "accidentally" have this sticker/card in your collection, I'd be happy to trade you actual Gilkey Mets cards for it! Or any other Mets card. I'm really getting tired of this stupid "rule" on TCDB about the "traded to" crap. If they aren't in the uniform, they shouldn't be listed with that team. I don't care what the dumb-asses at the card companies picked as a logo or "signed by" / "traded to" monikers. Sadly, it goes both ways where sometimes a player is still listed with one team after they got traded and even show up in the other team's uniform.

I'm getting a bit PO'd with all these "Cardinals" cards showing up with people in the wrong uniform. It's even worse as a Carolina Panthers fan with almost every card from 1994 and 95 showing the expansion draft players in the uniform of their previous teams (ex. Frank Reich in Bills Uni, Sam Mills in Saints Uni. and so on...). It doesn't fit my team collection if the players are in the wrong uniform! Okay, some will still fit... Any Sam Mills card goes in my PC, as does DeAngelo Williams and Reggie White. For baseball, all Ozzie Smith cards fit and so do all Manny Ramirez, Jim Thome, Tom Glavine cards, along with certain other players. But for my general team collection, I don't want cards of Keith Hernandez and Joe Torre without their STL uniforms. For you younger collectors, I don't want Albert Pujols cards in an Angels uniform in my STL collection. Just sayin'.

As for the sticker itself, I like it. I certainly wouldn't have bought these back then b/c I collect cards and not stickers. But I'd have traded for it even then. I still feel like Gilkey was under-rated in the mid-90s. He was a solid player in his time.

lol if this were a meme, it would say RUNNING TO THE BIG APPLE!

The stickers will not stick to other cards. In fact, with the paper stock chosen by Panini and Topps over the years, they don't even brick amongst themselves. What you do have to watch out for is plastic cards. They tend to stick.
