The inserts are great and you hit the nail on the head w/ the blue bordered parallels.flywheelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17404740580161509052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137000056683285487.post-76995292276882333742011-04-29T18:47:10.617-05:002011-04-29T18:47:10.617-05:00I am 2 cards away from finishing off the Stadium L...I am 2 cards away from finishing off the Stadium Lights (In fact I believe Derek is sending me one of them).<br /><br />So you know where I stand.night owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673973790245316059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137000056683285487.post-8325746934662901652011-04-29T18:26:16.217-05:002011-04-29T18:26:16.217-05:00I have several of the lights cards that I can help...I have several of the lights cards that I can help you with. shoot me an email.Derek Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03204833467542945210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137000056683285487.post-31115839316689391502011-04-29T18:03:41.022-05:002011-04-29T18:03:41.022-05:00I've answered every Opening Day post I've ...I've answered every Opening Day post I've read with the same comment... The Spot the Error card... I know what the error is, including this insert set!!<br />(I know this set is aimed at the younger crowd, but one error per card, put a few more on the card and make it a little more challenging, then maybe I'd buy into that subset)(and just which side is the danged front anyways??).<br />That being said, I love the opening day sets, the Mascots insert is my favorite subset, partially cause the Phanatic is the BEST mascot, EVER! The first pitch cards are great, the "Lights" cards are awesome, and I agree about the blues, great looking and really pop better than the gold.<br />The only other problem I have right now, my base set is lacking two cards, but I need a lot more inserts to finish the whole set, do I try and buy them (can't find them all), trade for them, Topps did pretty good with the collation in my area, I don't have many doubles... AND none of the cards shops close to me carry these at all so I could not buy a box!! :-(<br />Wow, sorry for the length...Dawgboneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09795429019912746620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137000056683285487.post-40541446449096939122011-04-29T16:38:14.481-05:002011-04-29T16:38:14.481-05:00I think your p.s. point re: the blue borders shoul...I think your p.s. point re: the blue borders shouldn't be overlooked. Those cards look great and in my opinion are a lot nicer than the Topps gold cards.<br /><br />I wasn't huge into the inserts overall, although I do like Stadium Lights a lot. And I agree, you either love or hate mascot cards. Maybe I'm not a fan b/c the team I collect doesn't have a mascot (although I encourage you to google a picture of the Yankees failed mascot of the '80s).The Lost Collectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07281282785351456790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137000056683285487.post-23319539761801391962011-04-29T12:12:31.787-05:002011-04-29T12:12:31.787-05:00Word.
