Just for fun, show off your three favorite card design. It doesnt matter who is on the card, if its an auto, jersey, vintage, or just a base. What are your three favorite cards that just LOOK amazing to YOU, design wise.

Im sure I missed some and will change my mind after viewing a few. Personally, I dont like College football cards, Im a NFL fan. But some of the last few years, Upper Deck and especially Exquisite has produces some amazing looking cards and would be all over them. But going through my cardsm these are the ones I enjot that just pop.

1. 2009 UD Black
Just one of the most beautiful sets ever made. Though condition sensitive and College jerseys, the silver ink on black with blue trim is just amazing!

And these inserts in that set with the clear signature window with the logo, I dont think it gets much prettier than UD Black

2. 2004 Upper Deck Ultimate
Something about cards from this set are just geogeous! The layout. the design, the patch windows, the right amount of foil. Love all these!!
