Would be curious to see the original image, but don't particularly care for the card itself.

Regards,

Richard.

I like it because of the "interesting" setting and pose. However, I would never go out of my way to collect it.

Personally, I collect so many oddball things, and so many things in general, I wouldn't collect them, but I think it's a great pose. If it helps get collectors interested in vintage then I think it's good too. The question wasn't "would you collect them" it is only "do you like them".....? As usual I am in the minority though .

The '93 Pinnacle Joe D set is an inexpensive way to get some neat cards w/ alot of Joe poses & shots one would only otherwise get from old wire photos or newspapers of the day.

I kinda' like them!

I don't mind new cards of old players, especially if they have interesting pictures like this one where it shows the company made an effort instead of just using the same photo everyone else uses. Doing a whole set like that is a lot of work.

That particular card I like the picture, but I think the black border with the dark woodgrain for the name panel just doesn't work well for a card with a dark black and white photo. I'm not crazy about the foil either, but it was the in thing at the time. It probably looks nicer in person.

I will occasionally pick up a new card of an older player if it is something I find interesting. This is a 2012 Leaf Sketch Card.

Great player, cool image, black borders, tasteful stained-wood style nameplate, and it's a baseball card... I like it.

Default I like it for what it is

When I go to Target I will buy a pack of modern cards for the hell of it. I like finding cards of players from the '60's on back more than I like finding modern ball players.

So, I like this Dimaggio card you posted-it's a cool picture of him.

Here's one I got out of my last pack, I thought it was pretty cool for what it was.

Sincerely, Clayton

P.S. Of course, there's nothing like the real thing
