I think this set looks strong, especially given last year's so-so offering. If Panini can keep making improvements and putting out fairly nice releases, I think they'll show why they should get a license.Bruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11679353172784074071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1955228872063707002.post-65562387310878171062015-03-20T11:33:59.752-05:002015-03-20T11:33:59.752-05:00I might like it more if they took a page out of th...I might like it more if they took a page out of the early 60s Topps playbook and had the players remove their caps - the players themselves look fairly anonymous in most of the shots, presumably Panini picks poses that will make the photoshopping easier?Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03580716283983922689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1955228872063707002.post-78757392511085977862015-03-20T11:27:28.215-05:002015-03-20T11:27:28.215-05:00Sure - that sounds fine to me - Baez, Gwynn, and h...Sure - that sounds fine to me - Baez, Gwynn, and how about Jacoby Ellsbury from the old New York Baseball Club?Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03580716283983922689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1955228872063707002.post-21052568732404859462015-03-20T10:54:53.864-05:002015-03-20T10:54:53.864-05:00Looking at the base cards from a distance it looks...Looking at the base cards from a distance it looks like there are 2 teams in major league baseball and the guys there play for one or the other.

I suppose that would create it's own new set of problems. <br /><br />Or maybe just more of an effort in the photography to get images that feature the player without the logo being blatantly missing...

If they can just improve the base set some this would be a really nice set. The inserts are usually pretty nice and the throwbacks are pretty cool too. It makes for a fun box to open because you get bunch of stuff to trade. Lot's of inserts, relics, autos and legend players.
