Mail Day #15: A Massive Seam


I have been working on the draft day duos set and this marks my fifth card of the 20 card set
(25% complete).

The card looks great scanned and the Cloutier piece is really thick with a large seam running down the middle. The only problem with this is that the seam is much too big for the card. Along the middle back of the card is a massive crease and under the "4" of 1994 is creased. While I'm still happy with the card and I usually don't care much for condition, the condition this card is in is un-acceptable! I wish the seller had told me the condition of the card. Thank goodness I got it for a bargain basement price!

I really do like the card and I plan not on examining up close or looking at the back ever again. These are the cards I have left to obtain for the set (I have the cards in blue):

  2. I love seam memorabilia cards. ITG is the best at making them, I found a sweet Maxime Clermont Subway Series card with a red/white seam for 99 cents on eBay. I wish UD would put more thought in their swatch selections!
