“ Well, sometimes when I am working with my scans, the names are so small I have no idea which letter file to move a card to until I bring it up full screen. That would certainly not be the case here! In all my years of being on this website, and reading the card blogs, I don't think I've ever seen this design before. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ I loved Triple Play. Affordable for a kid on a budget. I couldn't always convince my parents to pick up a full price Topps or Donruss pack and rarely could get Ultra or Stadium Club but Triple Play or Collector's Choice I could usually get. ” -davidhandberry
“ Nice card. Simple and to the point. Good photo on the back too. My only complaints are I wish the background on the front image could have some level of focus and full stats on the back. ” -chvlDm
“ It's like the card companies join forces to say we refuse to offer collectors any mint cards , black bordering should never exist as it chips and frays too easily, just not up to par like Ramon wasn't to his Bro Pedro. ” -baseballcardstoreca
“ a parallel set not needed.... ” -parsley24
“ I can't put my finger on exactly why, but I have always been a fan of this design. The back lacks the "full stats" most love, but I think the large profile pick and typographical info more than makes up for it. ” -rmpaq5
“ One of those 1990s sets that I hated the first time I saw them but in recent years have appreciated them. At one time recently I may have been tempted to think about chasing the set. These are much better than the more recent cartoon Triple Play sets. ” -captkirk42
“ Prefer this version of Triple Play over the more modern cartoon like releases. ” -rmitchell6700
“ Triple Play was nice. Good card! ” -RoyalChief
“ Triple Play was a fun, affordable and -- at least in terms of the '93 release -- nice looking product. ” -mkaz80
“ I vaguely remember Triple Play, but the card doesn't look familiar. It isn't bad, but it isn't great. ” -muskie027
