I agree. should include the debut date on their regular rookie. would make them more unique. All Star cards are rather abundant too. I would like their career All Star game stats on back. would make them more collectable, for me at least. Yeah. no Kawasaki card is disappointing. Hard not root for and be a fan of the guy. Does he have any cards in MLB uniform? just WBC cards from 2009? I pulled a DiceK card as an Indian. Never played for them. oops!

I doubt he will ever return from this injury. I would have rather had Jon Garland or Edgmer Escalona included though. I have no problem with the Brignac either because I'm glad he got Rockies card and he is back with the Rockies so it's not that bad.<br /><br />The Friedrich is actually explainable. He was due to be included in Series 2 as well as the Rockies packaged team set. I saw the card in an ad when the packaged sets came out this year. However, his injury caused the push back to Update and I guess Topps didn't want to waste the card they had already made. I am never going to complain about another Friedrich (who got a silk also) because he is my favorite player.<br /><br />Everything else you said, I agree with fully. Especially about the size of the 71s. Although we did just have full sized 71s in last year's Archives set. Maybe Topps needs to branch out to sets that haven't been done to death like 1953 or 1986.hiflewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07128126188366882765noreply@blogger.com
