A few days ago, I decided to track down a Jose Altuve rookie card for my collection, but ran across the issue of buying one of his Bowman cards... or his official Topps rookie card. It was annoying, so I ended up saving my decision for another day.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-85787477537960859142016-11-17T09:48:23.524-05:002016-11-17T09:48:23.524-05:00That's right.

I'm so over all the rookie saturation in every single current product for the last couple decades. Get rookies in every pack, short printed rookies, rookie swatches, rookie autographs, shiny rookies, rainbow colored rookies, parallel rookies, exclusive rookies. Uh, sorry. I'd rather have base cards of players who play, inserts, and retired veterans that have accomplished something. Sorry to buzzkill your hype, card companies.GCAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14713246271197550543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-40444008437570090852016-11-17T01:50:06.751-05:002016-11-17T01:50:06.751-05:00John Hicks had a rookie card this year?! *smacks f...John Hicks had a rookie card this year?! *smacks forehead*ketchupman36https://www.blogger.com/profile/13633947289625312949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-82552501078038692482016-11-16T23:30:24.918-05:002016-11-16T23:30:24.918-05:00I completely agree.

It's especially annoying when they change teams and get no cards with their new teams.<br /><br />Also, why in the world are their limits on what info can be on the backs? Cards with the RC designation have limited stats and don't list hometowns or acquisition information, at least in the main Topps sets. Anyone know why?

And that they should retroactively issue cards using the design and paper stock for previous years for people who didn't get a card.Billy Kingsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847326710191224832noreply@blogger.com
