Probably my favorite set of all time! | ||
Probably the most unmistakable design of all. Too bad the didn't have technology to do something different with the players names on the front. Only other knock would be the length of the card. I really enjoy the backs of these cards. Again, a very unique design. Although I appreciate a good full year by year stats box, this is much more fun to read a little player history. | ||
Fun set to collect. | ||
