I am a fan of the 1987 design, and this one is a nice take on it. The colouring here is much lighter on the border, which is about my only complaint for it really. I could do without the foil stamp, but it doesn't take away from this card at all.
I also give marks for the comment on the back which talks about Kenta's debut while tying in Orel Hershiser being a broadcaster and commenting on it, as well as then Orel's being a star pitcher back in 1987.
Can always get behind material actually tying together!
Also can get behind a pack which contains all keepers from a set I don't have much of, but as a flagship set of recent days, I wouldn't mind completing.
Okay, as much as I am not a fan of the Yanks (which includes pretty much everyone who lives outside the New York area, and those within who are Mets fans), the team card is pretty awesome.
These nice group shots are a great way to get a few players on another card, sure, but it's also a great way to look and seem the nucleus or at least, a part of the nucleus from any given year.
4 pack, 35 cards, 75 points

Not a real surprise that repacks will likely be hard pressed to luck out and score too high now, with some of the packs being ones I don't collect - so basically needing a solid hit to have any shot of a good score, but fair enough in cards and collecting.
Oh man... that Lind card is cool. I remember watching him on the highlights hitting that walkoff home run and doing the jump shot celebration.
