What card do the masses like, that you don't like?

[jjrpilot]

There have always been a few cards that most like, that I don't of the players I PC.

Who do you collect? What card of theirs is liked by most, that you actually don't like and thus don't have in your PC?

Topps Chrome.

Triple Threads. Sentences with compressed text garped up with sticker autographs.

Cosmic Chrome, Mega, Finest, Holiday, are all garish.

Panini Prizm is garish for any sport.

I don't like chrome products except cleanly designed refractors, and a couple parallels like black or gold refractor. Chrome lost its appeal for me after 2005 when they stopped "layering" the refractor finish.

Heritage is overrated

I am not a fan of Sapphire. The Acuna RC is a great card, and maybe an occasional image variation or auto, but otherwise, it's just another parallel.

Unlicensed cards where the players look like they are wearing pajamas.

[RoyalsCollector]

Rookie Patch Autos. The only relic cards I can really stand are bat relics. I also generally prefer a non-auto over the auto for a flagship rookie. Just give me a clean blue parallel with no auto of my Royals rookies.

Rookie logo cards that aren’t first appearance cards, but you all know that!

[imbluestreak23]

Any card that looks like Marvel

Or put another way, anything that the mop hair kiddos want

[KhalDrogo]

Pretty much all of them.

The masses agree with you on that

This is like in an unpopular opinion thread someone giving one that’s almost universally popular

As to the OP…hmm I take it it’s more meant a single specific card that’s liked but you don’t…maybe I’m wrong. Thread seems to be going on the premise of sets.

Ooh fun, I normally keep these opinions to myself but they seem fair game here.

I dislike Mosaic, newer Finest, Prizm, and most of the shiny cards that edit out the backgrounds.

I find most booklets awful.

I won't let a Negative Refractor in my house lest the ugliness infect the rest of my collection.

I don't get Kabooms at all.

Downtowns have gotten increasingly bizarre in their imagery.

I hate the fact that there is a perception that thicker cards means higher quality. I'm looking at you Brooklyn.

Topps cards with gold frames I also avoid.

Easy : Topps Chrome.

National Treasures : Too boring. Too much white.

Football : Contenders - Never like the them of the ticket.

The images give me a headache. Something about the 3-D effect.

[f2tornado]

Photo variations don't get me excited unless the variation uses a more unique image. I don't care about the card that just shows a player with a different jersey color. Give me a flagship Alonso holding up the OMG.

I've started to really appreciate great photography on cards and have been picking up a lot of Stadium Chrome singles since those sets use a lot of unique shots. They're also quite affordable. The 2023 Frank Thomas is a fun example.

Any "relic" card, doesnt matter what it is (patch, bat, jersey, other, ect) they all look like trash/stupid.

[StateEx]

1989 Upper Deck Griffey Jr. It's not that rare, people, and it's not a great looking card either.

With very rare exceptions, totally agree. 99.9% are trash.

When I saw the title of the post I was thinking 1987 Topps but as far as a single card of a player I collect - I hate the Shohei Ohtani cards that are a picture of another Ohtani card and uninformed people pay stupid prices for them thinking they are getting the real original card. I am not interested in owning that even though they are Topps licensed cards.

High wax prices.

I remember an insert set where Topps did that in the late 10s somewhere that used images of some Trout & Bryant hits. Where have they repeated this shenanigan?

My macro answer is “Bowman photoshops” but a single card answer would be the Pete Rose rookie card.
