I like how the cards do very much look like the originals, but are still very clearly reprints. Just don't like when they are close enough that an unknowing person could mistake one for the other.
We go from one storied franchise in the Yanks, to another here with Boston...
What makes this one special is - an error card!
On the back of the card, they mistakenly have it say Xavier instead of Xander. Well, I can at least understand why someone who doesn't know the player could get them confused since Xander is a bit unique as far as names go, compared to Xavier. Given this is a baseball card though, I would have hoped they'd hire people interested in the sport.
Actually hadn't thought about error cards for the scoring I have been doing....since I do collect them, should probably count them like Jays and double the points...
As for the rest of the needed base cards...
Bill wins for best photo though with the awesome outfield catch.
Lastly...
The man who became so good, he lost a name. They should have just gone full out overboard on this and made the set include a card for every single hit. That would have suckered all those Ichiro fans into a 3,000 insert card set chase.
5 Packs, 50 cards, 147 points.
