I don't care for it either. That is why I don't even own one.

Prefer the Donruss Rated Rookie.

Vertical cards. I really love horizontal cards. I can understand the hate for them though because there are a lot of slab bros and Bowman bois out there.

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.
Agree with chrome. It's ugly.

Totally agree! The worst is parallels of said retired players.

I do own them but out of 90’s Essential Credentials the 98 one’s are my least favorite. The see through plastic just looks cheap to me. I know it’s the most popular year but I just don’t love them.

I like the baseball cards but I have no need of a card showing the Loch Ness monster.

I think Topps Chrome refractor parallels are overvalued. I think they look nice but they cost way more than they should relative to their rarity.

I'll take a nice flagship gold/indy/black/camo over a TC refractor every time.

The anti-kaboom movement has really taken off lately.

I don't particularly care for Superfractors and like the look of xfractors more.
