“ If that's die cut, as it looks like it might be, that's an awesome card. If it's not due cut it's still a fun design but not as cool. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Hard to read the writing on the front and the border is a little on the thick side. Would have been nice to see some stats on the back, but at least they used different photos for each side. ” -Onemorepoint

“ Is this card a latin american card? Also I totally dislike the late 90s graphic design weirdness. ” -parsley24

“ OK design, but I really don't like weird die-cut or is this a laser-cut card? ” -captkirk42

“ "die-cut" is my favorite insert gimmick to hold, but right up (down?) there with chrome when it comes to getting a scan that does it justice. This is a cool card, and the checklist for this insert set is pretty impressive (even if this name isn't that impressive). ” -jackal726

“ I can imagine keeping these cards in pristine condition is a real pain ” -IfbBirdsCards

“ I've said it before and I will keep saying it, Pacific was a great company. They did unusual cards and kept things new and fresh. ” -Corky

“ Pacific brands 96-99 had some great die cut inserts, such as this one, 97 Crown Collection Fire Works, 98 Pacific Paramount Team Checklist, Special Delivery and Fielders Choice, and 99 Crown Royal Gold Crown Die Cuts and Cramer's Choice. To me nothing better than a die cut card [more than just a notch or rounded edge] that is also SN ” -abide

“ Love the die-cut!! Nice card. Good scan ” -cjjt

To quote old SportsCenter episodes: "Geronimo means 'goodbye'!"

This card is awesome.  Its Pacific. Its die cut.  And it's not a major star, which means they were trying to get more than just the same 20 guys that show up in every insert set.


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

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.
