Here's what I'm asking myself: what do I want out of a 2021 OMA card of a player who is still establishing himself? I still want him to hit nostalgia, and make the card look "vintage" in some way. He found a creative solution. Plus, it (IMO) looks good since the fonts look good and the red, white, and blue simplicity is clean.
OMA is obviously not mailing it in, or just doing some simple Photoshop thing, or doing something predictable that you've seen before. Compare this to the Willie Mays card earlier in the week. Both are going for nostalgia, but OMA is on another level.
My reaction would be different if this were, say, a Larry Doby or Frank Robinson or Duke Snider card. But, we're talking about Cody Bellinger.
This is a really exciting card #1 for his set. We're lucky to be along for the ride.
