Doing it with Flair

I have talked before about my confusion over Flair Showcase - a standalone set one year, insert set for the next. Today though, we get coverage on both, and I will say, both sets are nice, so I like seeing them, just their inclusion could be more consistent.

Highlights:

I do enjoy the look of these cards, and the Ian White is nice with the close up and full body picture representation. Also, the insert year Hemsky is nice too - the blue tint on these really helps any team with blue colour in their theme.

Lowlight:

Another one bites the dust...insert too...boo...

The rest
Keepers:

In hand, he three Showcase cards here all have the same tint, but scanned obviously, the Pushcarov has a blue tint. Had to check that it wasn't some odd parallel, but doesn't seem to be the case, just the way they scanned.

Traders:

Even another Flair card here with a number of Donruss Threads from 2009 (including a nice Reggie Bush and Culpepper).
