Year: 2005

Set: Ultra - Gold Medallion (Rate)

Card: #220 Nick Swisher


“ Ultra's Gold Medallion parallels are my second favorite parallel concept in cardboard history (pun intended) after only the Refractors from various Topps sets. And I'm one of the few people who genuinely loves parallels. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ I have this like/dislike feeling about this card. The portrait photo on the front, and the easy on the eyes printing on the back, are good. One of the top corners being nipped off seems a bit unnecessary, and is more of an eyesore than a witty design, for this style of card. ” -CollectingAfterDeath

“ I have an appreciation for parallel sets. More of a challenge to build the parallel set than the base set. IN general, I like Topps parallels better, but the Fleer Ultra gold medallion series is a solid effort. A) gold, B) die cut [since 2000] C) clearly indicated its a parallel, for those that are card id challenged ” -abide

“ I dont mind this card, but the curve in the upper left hand corner is just not right. Doesn't flow. ” -parsley24

“ For some reason this has the look of a minor league card. Don't like the font used for the name. Just not fond of the card. ” -Camstone

“ I guess the gold wasn't enough to distinguish these parallels from the base, so they went die-cut too. ” -suomibear8

“ Good scan. I always liked Gold Medallion cards ” -cjjt

“ Awesome, Nick Swisher former Buckeye! He was the only reason for me to have a rooting interest in the Yankees for a couple seasons! So far I have over 100 unique cards of his. He’s a good dude in real life also; I am friends with a cousin of his ” -Brimose

“ Nice card overall, but I feel the rounded corner could have been smoothed out a bit better. The "traditional uniform font" for the name is cool at first, but after looking at a bunch of them it got old for me. ” -kents_stuff

The photo is good bot the curved corner and background just feel wrong.
