“ They used the same design in the NBA, but instead of holofoil for the name and logos, they used standard silver foil. The baseball version looks much better. Every card in the set is serially numbered. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ “Without me these kids would have been Munsoned” ” -BrewerAndy

“ Yay one of my Tiger's scans is finally picked up as COTD! Look modern card makers...a different photo on the back! The name placement is kinda weird, it's like they are trying to go for the look of the trailer of an upcoming action movie starring "Munson." ” -rmpaq5

“ The beginning of the weird SN at the bottom of these cards. Great looking card, too bad his career got Munson'ed. ” -parsley24

“ It's as though someone created a background that has nothing to do with baseball and then slopped a player's picture on top of it. Totally incongruous. ” -NJDevils

“ OK if you want that film slide look. Hard to read his name, that light blue font must be foil. ” -captkirk42

“ I really dont like to have to focus my eyes in that area, to read his name. Maybe the worst set design I've ever seen. ” -switzr1

“ I'm actually digging this design even though it reminds me of a back-lit processor on a motherboard. ” -Madden95

Not easy to read the name going across his body. They had a good idea, but it was poorly executed.

I see people don't care for this set (as based on the comments and the 3+ rating for the set), but I like it and found a box on eBay! Sweet! And yes, I bought it through the site's eBay link!

I'm surprised you were able to, the NBA set is pretty hard to find...of course the LeBron rookie being in it probably doesn't help. I did two boxes when it was new but sadly didn't pull that one.

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.

It would make the card look so much better if the name had a thicker outline, or if the letters were filled in - nonetheless, I like the look!
