Is this a Yay or Nay for you?

Is this a Yay or Nay in your book?

Curtis Granderson last played for the Tigers in 2009, yet has a 2012 Topps card pictured in Tigers uni:

The pro: Its from a jersey he wore with the Tigers
The con: He has been a Yankee since 2010

Do you think Topps got it right by going with a Tigers uni to match the jersey or would you have rather seen him in a Yankees uni, because it is a 2012 product?

I'll go with Nay...........

One of my peeves with uni cards is that the swatch doesn't match the picture. While I can see why some may not agree with this card because it's a 2012 card and he's been a Yank since 2010, I think Topps got it MOSTLY right with the swatch and pic on the card.

I would lean towards Yay

Nay!

One of my biggest peeves about this hobby is I can not stand it when a card shows a player in a certain teams uniform, yet the card lists him as being with another team! Drives me nuts. It may not pertain to this card but the guy has been a Yankee for a few years now, so it should be a Yankee card IMO.

Yay..

Piece matches photo, photo matches team name, way better than a mix n match

Yay. Much better than listing him as a Yankee and using a Detroit swatch.

I support Topps' decision, though the best would be to also list him as a Tiger and include the years he played for them "Detroit Tigers - 20XX - 20XX"
