Card: #172 Jose Capellan


“ How do you use the same photo twice on the front? They liked it so much, they used it a third time on the back. Not a good card. ” -muskie027

“ Look out Jose! A giant version of you is going to step on you and crush you any second! Seriously? Three photos all the same on the same card? ” -rmpaq5

“ so all they could find was one picture for this guy and use front and back and I thought Panini were bad, back is absolute rubbish do you really need his name twice, take out the middle and show some stats or something ” -aussiewayne

“ Front is kind of too dominated by the background picture (if that makes any sense). The backs are okay, though I like to see at least some stats. ” -olerud363

“ 3 photos on this card. All the same photo. Ridiculous. ” -parsley24

“ Andy Warhol's estate should have gotten royalties for this design. ” -vrooomed

“ Missing minor league stats on the back will probably be a sore spot for this card. Interesting concept for the front. I am neutral opinion on this type of card. ” -CollectingAfterDeath

“ Not digging this one. Not just for using the same photo 3 times but the aesthetics of the design are not pleasant. Is that the player name I can't read because it is in foil lettering and dark on a dark background (above the team logo)? OK the guy is only a prospect but couldn't they have put some stats up? His High School Batting Average or ERA maybe? ” -captkirk42

“ I always thought it was weird when they put the same image twice on the same card ” -Declan44

“ 3 copies of the same picture. If there were 3 different pictures, I'd think it was a fine card. But this way... eh. ” -cjjt

“ I've said it over and over again, the thing that annoys me most about some cards is using the same photo on front and back. I was wrong. ” -kents_stuff

“ It's incredible how there are more misses than hits on these prospect cards. Who am I to say anyhow? Jose got his name and face on a card, better than I ever did... ” -rmitchell6700

I don't mind the front. It's decent. The back is uninspiring.

Is this scan satisfactory or is in inadequate ?

This is a good one. The color's good and the scan is almost perfectly cropped- the front is, the back has a tiny bit of gutter shadow on the top, but not enough that I would reject it from posting or post a new one over it. More like this, please!

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.
