Year: 2001

Set: Topps - Home Team Advantage (Rate)

Card: #365 Ty Howington / Josh Kalinowski / Josh Girdley

“ I did like the layout and design of the 2001 Topps base cards. They looked good then and still do today. As for this specific card, I'm glad I don't own it. Nobody for my team is on it and none of these players really had any kind of career in MLB. ” -spazmatastic

“ I'm a huge Reds fan. Ty Howington turned out to be a major bust!!!! ” -tinyshogun

“ 2001 Topps a year I was in hiatus. A few years later (around 2003 or 04?) when I got back I confused this with the 2000 set. ” -captkirk42

“ Who? ” -BigBoyOnWheels

“ i wonder if these three ever hang out. ” -parsley24

“ Not bad but not strikingly good, either . . . Prospects cards really cannot be done any other way . . . Hope these guys got good signing bonuses . . . ” -georgecf

“ Nice card. ” -cjjt

Oh yeah, 2001 was one of the years topps stamped their factory sets with the "home team advantage" foil stamp so they would be different from the pack cards. Smart way for topps to make you buy the cards twice but kind of annoying, especially in 2000 when the foil cards weren't stamped. Card collecting is exhausting sometimes.

I'm not a fan of cards with colored borders. It's hard to get a clean edge on them. The edges are always chipped or flawed in some way. I think the 2007 Topps with the black border were the worst. This is a good card otherwise!

HAPPY COLLECTING!!!

Triple player cards don't work for me.
