Never

Looks like an upper deck design.

Could have done without the disco lights. So close to being a solid design, except for that. Oh! and last name first?

I agree- would have been GREAT without them!

I like it better than 2018 already. At least the player's name isn't obscured.

those fonts going to the edges are crap.

My wish here? That the Name MOOKIE was in big type and BETTS was the small type ...

Seconded!

Not a fan of the design. Also why can’t Topps print their SPs on thicker stock so you don’t have to pull out a microscope to try and read the code.

[QUOTE=mlbexpert;13819116]Seconded![/QUOTE]

Thirded

looks good to me.

the parallels will especially look good if they use the white part and color it.

Love it!

I agree with you and I hate that since it could mean that they designed the base set with too much emphasis on how the parallels will look since there are now more parallels printed than there are base cards (hyperbole).

Then I realize this is Topps we're talking about and there is no way anyone over there has the foresight to think that far ahead about anything. I'll concede only that any good design is strictly a happy accident.

hard to tell but looks like theres borders

An improvement over 18’ IMO. It’s not the full boarders we’ve been waiting for, but it’s getting there.

[QUOTE=hermanotarjeta;13819078]Looks like an upper deck design.[/QUOTE]That was my first thought as well. I'm definitely seeing Collector's Choice influence in the design.

But that white space between the player photo and the color ribbon (where the LAST NAME resides) needs to go. Extend the photo further.

Or make it fade a little more subtle down to the bar than the cut-off with a feathered edge. Over time, I think that weird gap would wear on me.

i hope the entire set is not horizontal

Me to. Looks cheap

Wish they would go back to vintage stock

hate when there are 2 or 3 threads on same subject.

PBM!!

In general, I like it. Simple is better.

Let's get away from "edgy" photoshop designs trying to appeal to the social media generation and keep the flagship series a little more basic.

As long as the parallels pop, I'm good.

so we got SOME border back! its a start lol

2016, 2017, and 2018 Parallels look weak
