Which would you choose? Opinions wanted...

ScooterD · 10-20-2013, 10:18 PM

Got a bonus coming from the prior fiscal year and want to make a PC purchase.

The bonus will cover one of these cards, but not both. Which would you buy?

Option A

Option B

bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

RobbinsDynasty · 10-20-2013, 10:21 PM

both are solid choices but I think I would go with B

centereacan06 · 10-20-2013, 10:22 PM

Hard choice. I'd go B just because it looks more organized.

Patsfan · 10-20-2013, 10:22 PM

B definitely, one of my favorite cards!

ediii33 · 10-20-2013, 10:25 PM

I like A better.

tjforce · 10-20-2013, 10:25 PM

B. As a kid in the 90's, I thought it was one of the coolest cards ever made. As an adult in 2013, I still think it's one of the coolest cards ever made.

lambeauleap87 · 10-20-2013, 10:27 PM

I would go with B. Both are incredible cards, but the Mantle/Griffey just looks a lot cleaner and more aesthetically appealing.

Hellwig · 10-20-2013, 10:28 PM

Option B but make sure you do your research on the exact card you are buying.

Tugarpj · 10-20-2013, 10:35 PM

Make sure certified but B is a classic!

THE(NEXT)LEVEL · 10-20-2013, 10:50 PM

I like A better.

Cornerstore · 10-20-2013, 10:51 PM

I've always wanted one of the A cards. I think those are just awesome

This is exactly how I feel.

Whodey14 · 10-20-2013, 11:04 PM

b for sure!

aggie4ever · 10-20-2013, 11:06 PM

A, because it's more likely to be real. The only way to buy B would be to buy one that is authenticated by PSA/DNA, but even then in the back of your mind you will always wonder if the card was really originally signed by both players.

Really, I would pass on both cards, and pick up singles of each. So all 3 single autographs of the set card A comes from, and both single autographs of card B.

HYPTZEMDSTRPLES · 10-21-2013, 12:00 AM

I like A better.I like 3 HOF'ers on one card over 2, and I like how the photos are actually of the players and not some print that doesn't look as realistic.UD should have just paid a photographer to snap Mantle and Griffey and just forgot the sketch/painting.I like my cards to look 100% realistic.

Lancemountain · 10-21-2013, 12:28 AM

Both iconic IMO...

I'd go with A just because it's just so nasty looking

Zoop · 10-21-2013, 12:39 AM

Coming from a Cards fan, B. The design is what does it. But man, the names on A...

mnvikingstwins · 10-21-2013, 12:41 AM

B by a longshot. A is hideously designed with the bad transitions between pictures and disoriented autographs.

JohnnysBench · 10-21-2013, 08:21 AM

A is a nice card, B is an iconic card.

B hands down...

cyndeeg3 · 10-21-2013, 08:26 AM

I would be thrilled to have either - flip a coin!

I agree with this, there are so many fakes of those two cards. That set is one of the most faked sets around.

lazygambler · 10-21-2013, 08:58 AM

B all day long, it just looks so much cleaner

jmscoggin · 10-21-2013, 10:39 AM

B - no question and not even close. A is just ugly and not designed well although players had decent careers.

89transam · 10-21-2013, 10:52 AM

both would be cool to own, but B looks 100x better
