Nice Joe Mauer card. Doesn't take anything away that you don't see a Twins logo anywhere... Don't worry, there were logos a-plenty... I neglected to scan any, though. Sorry. You'll be ok.
I'm really liking the ballpark cards. This is an amazing shot of Safeco Field. I love the sunset in the background. I can't wait to get my hands on the one for Camden Yards.
Here is an Upper Deck Portraits insert of Cole Hamels. Hmmm, is the A PHILLIES LOGO? Say it ain't so... I don't care, really. The card looks good though.
Now, this card looks good. The Pure Heat Tulowitzki. Very nice. Looks even better in person.

My opinion? I am and always will be a fan of Topps. However, I think competition is a good thing. I'm happy UD released a baseball set this year. I think the 'leaving logos on cards' is a ploy to generate publicity. No publicity is bad publicity. I haven't liked an Upper Deck design in years, maybe since 2002. I do feel like this year's offering is very nice. Good job UD. Now, quit effing up and get your house in order. I just want good cards, really.
I pulled the Camden yards card today - it's awful. The shot is up Utah street, and is mostly warehouse. You see about 3% of the playing surface, and it is before a game, so there's hardly anyone in the stands.
ReplyDeleteI've opened a few packs and NONE of the cards I saw looked as good as the Griffey or Mauer.
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOD...that Safeco card is absolutely beautiful. Wow. I live two miles from that stadium so it really hits the heart.
ReplyDeletethe griffey and safeco cards are great - UD really took it to Topps i think
