Random Card of the Day |
Wednesday, May 12, 2021Year: 2008 Set: Upper Deck Documentary (Rate) “ the blurb at the bottom says the Rangers won with pitching, and on the back, it talks about the starter Matt Harrison, so why exactly is the front a pic of Ian Kinsler, and making this a Kinsler card? ” -abide

“ Topps Now before there was Topps Now. A very ambitious project by UD that ultimately fails to answer the question: why? Maybe if my Mariners had a spectacular 2008 season I could see myself buying these cards. (Spoiler alert: they didn't). Otherwise, these should be relegated to the dime or less bin at your LCS ” -ketchupman36

“ Very ambitious set, which I liked in theory. Too bad there were so many recycled photos with most of the photos having nothing to do with the game being depicted. ” -jupiterhill

“ Base set: 4890 cards. Hobby box: 24 packs. Cards per pack: 15. Gold parallel version of 4890 card base set: 1 per pack. Price per pack: $3.00. People who have completed this set: 0 ” -Id8jlb8666

“ This was an interesting and ambitious idea for a set, but ultimately I am disappointed in it. This card is a prime example. The images of the players are reused over and over, the the synopsis on the back highlights the work of Matt Harrison, yet the player pictured is Ian Kinsler and almost certainly not a photo from the game referenced. If this set had the player highlighted in the write up with a photo from that particular game this set would be top notch. ” -rmpaq5

“ OK design but the concept is too overboard and poorly executed. The concept was to document every game of the season, making the set grossly large with 1,000s of cards. Each player has 20some cards or more with each card having the exact same photo even though each card is documenting a different game. It results in a very boring set.. ” -captkirk42
“ This set is really cool. One card per team per game for the whole season. Must be annoying to collect the whole set though but I would totally buy singles of games that I went to. ” -pugchump
“ Interesting concept, probably not feasible to go all the way and have an image from each game instead of blocks of reused images. ” -jackal726
“ Is there anything on the card itself to indicate that it is Ian Kinsler, or do I need a checklist to know that? The idea of the series is too ambitious . . . A day-by-day account of the season includes too many lowlights, when nothing significant happened . . . The card itself is fine, but so what? Do I need to have it? . . . ” -georgecf
“ Oh boy. Anybody who has ever tried to add one of these cards to their collection on here, let alone uploaded the checklist, will hate this set. Should make for some good comment section... ” -pjdionne12
“ This was a great idea that was terribly executed.
They should have put the player or big play of the game on the card using a picture from that game instead of the same pictures and players used over and over. That said this is a great set to give the history of season. ” -goreds00
“ This is a creative concept and really was a forerunner of the Topps Now cards, but honestly, I don't think every game in a season requires 2 cards. Maybe if you were a Phillies fan, you'd chase the team set to remember winning the World Series that year, but I don't need 163 cards to remember that my Cardinals finished in 4th place that year. ” -vanstryland
“ meh, not a parallel set needed. ” -parsley24
“ The most unnecessary and poorly executed set in the history of trading cards. Take a bow, Upper Deck :P ” -mkaz80

“ Unfamiliar with this set, but I am intrigued by any set with almost 5,000 cards. ” -muskie027
