In addition to the rookie logos being what they are, there are a few subsets that are well below the extremely low standards set by the 2009 set. Below, a 2008 Kevin Curtis 1/1 Logo patch is next to a Barry Sanders tag patch from 2009. They are both 1/1s from the same parallel of the base set, but one OBVIOUSLY looks a lot better. Ill give you a hint, its not the Sanders.
In the same vein of the jumbled messes that were the immortal patch autos out of 2009 Leaf Certified
, these new 1/1s look like the 101 Freeway in LA during rush hour - busy as fucking hell. Rather than building on the simplistic awesomeness of the 2007 and 2008 1/1s, they have made the cards into a shitty version of Leaf Certified. Thank you Panini.
Panini has no clue on how to design good looking cards.
ReplyDeleteThe new set looks like a glorified Score set.
Less is more when it comes it busy, squigly lines.
Looks like they were trying to go Exquisite with those curves - only no foil, lol.
ReplyDeleteWax Wombat makes the point I was making yesterday - some of these National Treasures cards aren't that different from many exquisite cards. The Sanders is no more busy than this card, which is from a set many people like:
