I would suggest that maybe Topps recently had some photography privileges revoked, but don't they get most of their photos from Getty these days?maddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08493650721714521989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-50488737335142923692015-05-17T15:55:10.715-04:002015-05-17T15:55:10.715-04:00I'm headed down to Dodger Stadium this summer....I'm headed down to Dodger Stadium this summer.

There are still plenty of stadiums in Japan that don't let you walk all the way around.Ryan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670458381967699663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-72959690391169668502015-05-17T03:38:34.027-04:002015-05-17T03:38:34.027-04:00Ryan, you can now walk around the stadium.

The inner workings of the ballpark show their age - I hate that I can't walk around the entire stadium (outfield is isolated, at least when I was there to see a game). But that OPC shot really is what you see from the home plate gate and it's quite amazing. Maybe one of the best entries to a ballpark ever.<br /><br />I love ballpark cards, and the OPC and '10 UD sets are parts of my collection. I wish they'd show up a little more frequently. In fact, instead of one of the meaningless insert sets Topps throws in to its flagship issue, they could have a set with one card for every MLB ballpark ever. A nice historical set that I'm sure would be very popular with collectors. I would definitely finish that set! NPB card sets here in Japan almost never show the stadiums, and even an updated current ballpark set is way overdue.Ryan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670458381967699663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-50205302077387210872015-05-16T20:03:50.813-04:002015-05-16T20:03:50.813-04:00I've never been there either, but I gotta say,...I've never been there either, but I gotta say, that card at the top is one lousy job. It's a crappy photo that shows nothing of the ballpark experience. I've seen better views of Dodger Stadium on random player cards. The Heritage cards at the bottom of the post are much better.
