“ Nothing special, not a bad card at all ” -BasketbalHQ

“ Panini Select, the Cadillac of trading cards with a performance package. ” -CardFlipper1974

“ I really liked the soccer Select stuff. The baseball needs the licensing. Without that this card is just.........blah. ” -Gunny

“ Quick turnaround for RCOTD. ” -jupiterhill

“ This is a really bad baseball card. It should be removed from existence. But my mom always told me to try to find the good aspects things. Here's one. At least they don't have to airbrush out the Dodgers logo on the front of the jersey. So that's a positive for an unlicensed company! And even if the front side were showing, it would have been easy to remove the white logo on the white jersey from those hideous white on white uniforms. So many positives for Panini to be thankful for. ” -bpaul14

“ Really??? . . . Design looks like a school project from the elementary school-level . . . To think someone got paid to "create" this design . . . A nice design can be really striking . . . this one is sickening . . . ” -georgecf

“ The front design is pretty dark. Seems interesting but i will pass ” -dollar guy

“ Nothing to right home about. A lot of these cards look the same nowadays. ” -Phil

Is this the first 2020 card to make Card of the Day? I can't remember for sure but I don't remember any. 

All of the Select brand issues from the Panini stewardship all kind of look alike, I can't generally tell them apart without reading the line on the back that tells you. I'm certainly glad for that.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

It's hard to find a Card I don't like. Cards without licensing is a big negative for me. I like the Card outside of that.

I'm starting to wonder why some site members even collect. It seems like every single RCOTD gets more negative comments, no matter what.


-------------------------------

I'll never quit collecting entirely, but I am downsizing. Check out my COMC store and help me thin out what I don't want so I can buy cards that I do want. See something you like? Send me a message on here, and we can knock the price down quite a bit. I'll even take a bit of a loss if it means getting you a card you really want.

Nothing special, don't like the design.

2020 will not go down as vintage year based on the cards being issued by Panini.

Good point! But that's because, as the saying goes, "Everyone's a critic".

The relevance of this card being today's RCOTD is way high because Tony Gonsolin is making his 2020 debut starting for the Dodgers tonight.

Jason, what gets boring is the same comments from the same members, day after day.

I didn't mind this set this year but it really seemed kinda pointless coming out one month before Prizm  which is essentially the same set (but looks nicer and is more established IMO). Tack on Optic that came out soon after Prizm and I'm left to wonder why Panini threw all three of these sets out within like a 60 day period. Got 10 months to buy singles I guess. Anyhow I'm a Panini fan and their parallels are unparalleled

Probably due to the missing license, many players are shown from the rear or side, which does not allow some good views at all. The licensed select sets are a lot nicer and have a higher value stability. 

Imo, all manufacturers should finally stop printing pitchers on cards and thereby use up cl spots which better would be spend for Tier 2/3 batters ;-)
