Random Card of the Day



Wednesday, August 5, 2020

Year: 2015-16

Set: Panini Complete - Home (Rate)

Card: #15 Kevin Love


“ Kevin Love is actually a distant cousin of mine! Really distant- you have to go back to the 1300s to find a common ancestor. But still, he's blood related. His uncle is Mike Love of the Beach Boys. He's a second generation NBA player, his father Stan played for the Bullets. When I am looking to add the missing sets to my collection, (for my project of having at least one example of every set) it's his cards I look for from current sets. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ I like the card but, I don't like home teams in white kits. ” -Gunny

“ Good shot of Klove and nice basic back. pretty sharp card! ” -Gator415

“ Fun concept card. ” -captkirk42

“ um... I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the addition of Love had virtually zero to do with the attendance increase mentioned on the back of the card... at least they also threw in that 'oh yeah, Lebron is back in town also' ” -Brimose

“ Great looking card. Love love... What i dont love about love is that he models for Banana Republic. As a larger man, 6'2" 250+, i cannot find a lot of the clothes there that fit me. There is no way a giant like kevin love can shop there. This frusterates me to no end. ” -parsley24

“ I don't mind these. I liked the Panini Complete sets, and these were decent inserts to pull. ” -switzr1

“ I really like the concept of the jersey here with the name on the back, but I'm not sure it works with the home attendance subset theme. I'd rather see this as a base card look with personal stats on the back. ” -vanstryland

“ I like the cards with the jersey in the back, but the label at the bottom isn't great, makes it hard to read ” -BasketbalHQ

“ Jersey in the backround? Photoshopped card once again. ” -dollar guy

“ I loved Panini Complete. Wish they never got rid of it. It was such a nice set for basketball. I miss it. ” -muskie027

I like Kevin Love and I like this card.  It reminds me of this no call from Ed Malloy.

If you want a good laugh listen to the play by play from Wolves announcer Allen Horton on this play.  One of my all time favorites.  Go to 2:40 in this clip.

Doh Ed Malloy!!

Interesting idea to have the jersey as the background.

For those who commented but don't collect basketball, there is also an "Away" set showing the dark jerseys.


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

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.
