Random Card of the Day

I still like the 1995 UD design across all sports, including the parallels. For this specific card, I agree with muskie that the pictures should be on the opposite sides of the card from where they are. It would just look better to me.

But what I really don't like about this card is that TCDB lists it as a Dolphins card when EVERYTHING says it is a Bengals card EXCEPT the barely visible line that says "Signed by Dolphins". I hate that cards like this are listed with the team that signed them as an FA or got them in a trade when the other uniform, team name and logos are all present on the card. Just that little stupid line makes it become a card for the other team. I don't think that most Dolphins collectors would want this card, while most Bengals collectors would want this card. The main reason a team collector would want a card like this is for expansion teams. For example: I collect all 1995 "Carolina Panthers" cards even though most of them are players in different uniforms. The Panthers got all of their players from the collegiate draft and the expansion draft, so most of the Panthers cards for that 1st team were of players in other uniforms. As for player collectors, they would want the card no matter what. But a Dolphins collector would probably only want this card if Oliver was a significant contributor to the Dolphins while he was there. Another example on that side of it: I collect ALL cards of Sam Mills even though he only played for the Panthers for 3 seasons. His impact on the team both on and off the field went well beyond his playing years.

I really hate getting some cards in a trade only to find that they shouldn't be listed for that team since my team's uniform and logo are not on the card! They go right into FS/T most of the time.

Always interesting to see Oliver in a Bengals uniform. He spent 5 years with the Dolphins, 1 with Bengals and then went back go the Dolphins for 2 more years. Underrated 90's safety in my opinion.

Simple and clean. A nice design and much better than a lot of more recent releases.

Spaz I tend to agree. I can see the reasoning of doing what they do somewhat but don't necessarily agre with it. Sports cards are technically a form of "yearbook" from the previous season. 

I agree with Spaz too. My first pass at team collections was to get those cards tagged with my teams per TCDb. Then, as I started to look at them while putting more cards into binders, I found I really didn't like all the Steeler cards with CU Buffs uniforms, or a Reds card with a Yankee picture on it. So I've started culling those from my collection and want list when I see them still on there.

One exception (similar to Spaz' first year Panthers cards), are the first year of Avs cards, where all the photos are from the last year of the Nordiques. 

I have to agree . It does get somewhat confusing when you have a card like this that says Bengals everywhere but has a barely noticible note that he switched teams . Would you fell differently though IF it had the Dolphins logo with the on card team listed as Dolphins even though the pictures were clearly in a Bengals uniform (similar to the early Jaguars/Panthers cards from that year)
