One word - Ewww.


That Prospect auto checklist is just what many of us (i.e. Adam) expected it to be - I don't believe there's one true 1st year player to be found.

The design is not my cup of tea, either.

It's gonna take a killer base set to improve my opinion of this product. Anyone know where I can find a copy?

I'm not crazy about the design, though it's not clear what the base prospect cards will look like and if the white border for prospects will be continued.

The auto checklist is just awful.

Edit: the base CL was an old version. See Page 3 for the updated version.

I'm not a prospector, but the only guy I recognize is Morrison.

You can add this to the ever growing list of 2009 products I could care less about, which so far includes all of them.

Auto checklist is horrid, and from a quick glance at the base its mediocre at best.

This was a suprise to me though

BP91 Yu Darvish

How did they manage this? WBC i guess?

Correct. Notice the Asian names at the end of the CL? That's all WBC.

A couple comments.

*I'm tired of the un-auto'd true prospect rookie followed by the auto'd version the next year. Stop screwing with us and give us the auto'd first year!

*To me it seems they are letting other companies do their scouting on who to add to the set (i.e. Donruss got Wilson Ramos & Angel Morales autos in 2008, Topps finally gets them on cardboard in 2009. Do you own work, f-ing Danny Valencia still doesn't have a card!)

*Base set looks ripped from 2008's football, I hate the ballooning in design.

*I like the prospect design though, nice, clean, classic.

*And I say it every year knowing it will never happen, go back to the black borders with the different colored background refractors.

Gotta mull this CL over for a while, before I give my opinion.

There is definitely 3 or 4 guys on the base c/l that interest me. I think it will need to be beefed up but regular bowman nnormally seems to be the worst of the three each year so I'm not too concerned

Yup. At this point I plan to buy 0 packs of any 2009 product I've seen. By April of last year, I had already opened about 30 boxes. That's ok though. It leaves more $$$ for my PC.
