We need rookie cards with more than one rookie on them. There are so many rookies featured on their own cards now that it really waters down the whole rookie card thing. Putting four on a card meant you could look our for those guys and if any of them had a good year you knew they would be rewarded with their own card the following year. These sets with the 40-deeps (I'm talking to you, Bowman) are ridiculous.Eggrockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03543338186244288630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-26102544063585670302010-03-04T08:11:00.009-05:002010-03-04T08:11:00.009-05:00Night Owl - Amen. I just pulled my first 2010 Rook...Night Owl - Amen. I just pulled my first 2010 Rookie Cup last night and seeing that piece of cheesy clip art made me a little ill. My other gripe with this year's set is the "Cards Your Mom Threw Out" insert set. I was already annoyed that they were including stuff from the past decade (yeah, I'd really be kicking myself if my mom threw out a 2003 Kevin Youkilis card), but the picture quality on some of the Yo Momma cards is just poor. The aforementioned Youk and the 2005 Ryan Howard/Cole Hamels look pixellated and overexposed. How hard is it to reprint a card you just produced five years ago?<br /><br />That said, Topps still has me hook line and sinker. I broke open a hobby box last night and kept ripping until I got a code card (fifth pack, by the way). My reward was a beauty of a 1958 George Crowe that makes up for my first unlocked card - a 1988 Juan Samuel that I already had.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01334533396646438555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-35069799735901985802010-03-04T08:06:43.822-05:002010-03-04T08:06:43.822-05:00Count me in as a trophy lover!Count me in as a trophy lover!Johngyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18416011578421652629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-31688778611792668552010-03-04T07:55:32.282-05:002010-03-04T07:55:32.282-05:00-Bring back the gold rookie cup, bring back rookie...-Bring back the gold rookie cup, bring back rookie cards with 2-4 players on them, and bring back Future Stars.<br /><br />Oh, and bring back Topps Big.Drop The Gloves!https://www.blogger.com/profile/15728510960787862232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-82065277037622275202010-03-04T00:21:17.761-05:002010-03-04T00:21:17.761-05:00It took me about 15 packs to even notice the troph...It took me about 15 packs to even notice the trophy this year.
