“ Same picture three times and no team logos for licensing reasons. A big fat NO! Would have been cool if not for the 2 giant complaints. ” -muskie027

“ I don't like this style of card that Chronicles used for some of their base cards the front looks like the back and the back looks like well the back. Two backed cards are not cool looking. I don't know what they were looking for in this design but I think they failed. ” -captkirk42

“ Joe Musgrove, Colin Moran, Michael Feliz and Jason Martin of the Astros were traded to the Pirates for Gerrit Cole. That trade worked out just beautifully didn't it (Sarcasm)? Then the "Cole Train" went on to sign a 9 year 324 million dollar contract from the Yankees. Bet the Pirates regret that one! ” -jdogg1228

“ What a crap looking design. Both sides of the cards look like a back of a card. ” -YoRicha

“ Purple? Is this one of those cards that doesn't scan well? Like the photo portion of the card, but if I pulled this from a pack, I would probably be flipping it over to what I thought would be the front of the card as this looks like the back. ” -dettigersmlb

This card looks terrible with the same picture three times. And where is the purple?

Looks like he is in some sort of summer league or prison baseball team.  No way you know what team it is except for knowing it's Cole, then you know.

What a terrible card! Nothing about this is pleasing and I don't see purple anywhere. I can guess where it is on the front and assume this is a bad scan. But the whole card is a bad design and an even worse layout on both sides. Unfortunately, Panini got way better with cards like this but they still use the same photo multiple times and never have any stats. If Panini gave a damn about the collectors, they would stop using the same photo MULTIPLE times on the same card AND they would start adding stats. The best thing I can say about this card: at least Panini does clearly tell you what product the card is on the bottom of the back (and I love that they continue to do so now)!

From my memory the purple is the logo and maybe the jersey number.  I hate when they do bronze and gold parallels because to this day I still cant really tell the difference.

If anyone wants to send me cards from my wantlist or teams I like, I am happy to accept :)

first off, i dont care all that much about lack of team licensing when i collect Cubs. Secondly, i don't care at all for cards without stats. And text on the front of the cards, if it's not team name and/or player name, it doesnt belong on the front. Only exceptions are maybe inserts. I dont personally care if theres a picture on back, but for base cards, i want stats, and preferably full stats.

@jdogg1228 Yes, one of MANY awful trades the Buccos have made in recent years.  Remember the Chris Archer trade? Yikes.

It looks like the backs of two cards glued together.
