The 2012 design is disappointing in that regard. And yes, position goes on the front.chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01629282636235093552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-65107675899564150682011-08-20T12:56:33.871-04:002011-08-20T12:56:33.871-04:00It should be mandatory for sets to have a guy'...It should be mandatory for sets to have a guy's position on the front. <br /><br />The Mighty Oz has spoken.Commishbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069472376708715755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-72375238620653752832011-08-20T12:20:30.216-04:002011-08-20T12:20:30.216-04:00I really like it.

The "gold" gimmick I'm already sick of, and I don't like parallels, but the base is nice and clean and simple.<br /><br />The first thing I thought of when I saw that Bruce card was, "Hey, I used that picture for one of my cards!" It's from the Reds' 30th game of the season:<br /><br /><a href="http://thewritersjourney.wordpress.com/2011/05/04/game-30/" rel="nofollow">http://thewritersjourney.wordpress.com/2011/05/04/game-30/</a><br /><br />In any case, I like the design, and will definitely pick up the Reds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-33379174945186896492011-08-20T09:58:00.139-04:002011-08-20T09:58:00.139-04:00Looks like an old-style travel trailer to me.Looks like an old-style travel trailer to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-84472426483730946352011-08-20T07:28:58.267-04:002011-08-20T07:28:58.267-04:00whatever you would call that -- oblong, ellipse?
...<i>whatever you would call that -- oblong, ellipse?</i><br /><br />Suppository.<br /><br />I have been considering limiting my modern set collecting to Heritage next year. After having seen this card, I am thinking that is the right choice. The base cards are boring and there are way too many inserts and parallels. Some of the inserts look interesting, but I already have a strong aversion to lots of inserts, parallels and short prints.carlsonjokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15556989250983706634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-16515574980917656822011-08-20T06:46:01.805-04:002011-08-20T06:46:01.805-04:00Looks to me like the nose of a sub or perhaps a wh...Looks to me like the nose of a sub or perhaps a whale breaking the water's surface.
