Default What's an unpopular opinion you have regarding cards?

Let's try to keep this serious.

Here's mine! - I actually like Panini Elite Extra Edition cards. I think they give us another avenue to collect prospects and I like how they are mostly #ed.

What's yours?

"I actually like Panini..."

You won the thread sir.


As for me, I'd like to get rid of all MLB prospect card products. Bye bye Bowman.

Rainbows are the stupidest thing to happen to cards since the yellow border on 1991 Fleer. People - it's the same damn card! Card companies have no creativity because nobody forces them to.

Oh, and 95% of the time relic cards are stupid too. Event worn jerseys? Gtfo of here.

I hate all SP’s, especially the ridiculous SP’s where you’re on an Easter Egg hunt to find some tiny, stupid difference from the base card.

I don't like Bowman Chrome cards for PC purposes.

I don't think players should be allowed to have big league uniform cards until they have their MLB debut.

Panini, when the make their college uniform cards, makes better looking cards than Topps.

I don't understand the appeal of ToppsNow. The fact that the ToppsNow thread is as many pages as it is baffles me to no end.

I agree with this, and is a HUGE reason I no longer like Update and why I never loved Heritage.

Retail purple refractors (e.g., Heritage), purple refractors #/10 (2013 Draft), or purple refractors /250 (2015 to present)?

Doesn’t matter, I was just kidding. I have plenty of purple in my Indians refractor collection.

Grading is a scam and only exists to bilk collectors out of their money.

I like Gypsy Queen...

Especially the Glasswork Box Toppers...

Interesting design, on card autos, limited edition, autos of the stars that are cheaper, no competition, and finishing the set wont break the bank.

I also like 1991 Fleer. At least it had conviction.

I think Topps NOW is a crazy fad.

Oh right. forgot to say my one thing.
I really don't mind Panini Reward Points and actually prefer them over redemptions.

Despise redemptions point blank!! If the product isn’t Available it shouldn’t be put in as such. How many times do we collectors get boned on these...
