This coming from a card shop owner who is going through some tough financial times.<br /><br />He said he was going to pack it out, at $2.00 a pack. I went back yesterday evening to pick up a box of 09 Ballpark, and there was a full box on the counter with a big sign that said 2 bucks.<br /><br />This may beThe Mojo Handhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07082407438049864661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022654356144175309.post-69175285083252842802009-09-25T08:33:29.744-07:002009-09-25T08:33:29.744-07:00It would be one thing if Ticket stubs were worth s...It would be one thing if Ticket stubs were worth something, but they arent unless its something huge. This seems like junk tickets they got in bulk. <br /><br />Oh, and Topps did get "signed" tickets in their TX football set. Yeah. Stickers on super bowl stubs.

As a Markakis collector, this is painful to even look at. <br /><br />Matt pretty much nailed it, lost the swatches so you can actually see the photo, have the player sign the stub, and make sure to include a write up relevant to that game on the back. <br /><br />It's so close, yet so far away.

Now maybe if they put ticket stubs from momentous games like Matt Wieters first MLB game ticket stub and and blurb about it on the back of the card that would be interesting. OR stats of what the player actually did in that game. Too much work?!

Have something on the back about what he did in that game, perhaps. And lose the shadowy Markakis in the background.<br /><br />Floating swatches are bad.

And I'll never understand why they insist on obscuring the photos of the players, when that is why we collect the cards in the first place. That could be me in that photo and no one would ever know.BigDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730889755481834414noreply@blogger.com
