“ Not bad nor great. I have no issues with this card other than Adam scoring a TD against my Panthers. That is a fantastic photo on the front, especially for an SI card. There is enough info on the back to interest a child into reading it too. ” -spazmatastic

“ That's a cool photo. I'm glad SI for Kids finally changed designs in 2020, this one was ok but I like the new one more. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Really? It takes a kid magazine to have a great action shot on the front with a different photo on the back....Panini take notice. ” -rmpaq5

“ My uncle named his fantasy football team “Adam Thi-HEE HEE-len” and now that’s all I can think about every time I see Thielen. ” -StarrsCards

“ First--great photo. Second--I generally like sharp angles more than curvy swoops (except in cars...I like sleek car designs). But the inconsistency in the angle cuts on various--but not all--corners is a bit distracting. On the front--are upper right and lower left cuts parallel? On the back--make up your mind already if you're adding a chamfer or not, SIfK. I like the card generally--a lot. But that detail is bothersome to me. ” -kents_stuff

“ Sometimes the Sports Illustrated for Kids cards designs are 100 times better than Topps or Upper Deck or Donruss or Panini or whoever is around at the time. Now if they put some stats on the back... ” -captkirk42

“ Didn't expect to see a football scan by Billy, but I guess it is a "multi-sport" release! I wish I had Adam Thielen on my fantasy football team this year! ” -bkklaos

“ I like the picture on the front of the card. Overall this is an ok design. ” -Brendan Barrick

“ This is a great photo. I am glad they didn't edit out his upper hand for the border. ” -Corky

“ FANTASTIC photo. Reminds me of what football cards used to look like back when they were fun to collect. ” -mkaz80

I'm a huge fan of SI for Kids cards. I wish I had the Tiger Woods card from 1996 or was it 1997? That card used to sell for serious money!

I agree with Billy, I'm glad they redesigned the cards, I wasn't a fan of this look, I like straight lines on cards except on rare occasions.  Moreover I am happy that the last few months, the cardstock has been a little thicker then from around the time this Thielen card was made.  Those were thinner than paper some months.
