Random Card of the Day

Year: 1998

Set: Studio - Portraits 8x10 (Rate)

Card: #20 Alex Rodriguez


“ Not a bad card, but the double use of the back photo drops it for me. Its a mariner which is a plus, but then its arod, so it drops back again. ” -parsley24

“ OK card. I am not a fan of the Studio sets Portraits or not. They usually don't interest me. I also have difficulty wrapping my head around Alex Rodriguez's early career with the Mariners it just looks odd. ” -captkirk42

“ 8 X 10 format to work with, and yet it is lacking a little variety, imo. The front looks good with the portrait pose over the in the game defense shot. The back could have used an in the game offense shot instead of the same defense pose from the front, but I may be asking for a bit too much. None the less, it is a nice effort by Donruss. ” -CollectingAfterDeath

“ At least they chose a huge format for that awful look on his face. ” -crushnmove

“ If I had a PC of A-Rod, I suppose I might like this, and if I had it, and went to an autograph show to chase down his IP auto, It would be great to get this one autographed, and put in a frame. ” -abide

“ I like the format of this card quite a bit. The pairing of the action shot with the front portrait is done very well. Also, I still love my boy, A-Rod from his days with the Mariners. ” -Camstone

“ He was a great player, too bad he caused so much controversy. ” -muskie027

“ I'm lukewarm on this one. ” -Phil

Looks pretty basic and cheap.

I like it.  These went on clearance at a Kmart I briefly worked at, years ago, and I bought several.  A Mark McGwire seems to be the only one I still have though, so I must not have been too impressed at the time.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff.  Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.
