There seems to be no middle ground with them.Some people love them and other hate them.I love the Legends Variations but I could care less about the team changes and Pie In The Face variatns.goldenegg1 said:I posted on their facebook page about how ridiculous these error and variations have gotten.
Agreed.They do tend to go over board at times though.James52411 said:Added value at no additional cost to the consumer is always a good thing.

But they're photoshopped and depict the player wearing a MLB jersey he has never worn before. Shouldn't you be howling at the moon?

Nope, some people are into total fantasy, but not me...the players are shown on a team they're actually on the roster of.

So just to ensure I have this straight, you're cool with the photoshopping on guys like Rendon, Harper, and Hultzen then, correct?
Reyes will settle in around $15-$20 after the set builders get theirs.JoshHamilton said:I'll pick up a Reyes.
How much do SP's usually run?
uniquebaseballcards said:Good point with the photoshopping, at least the USA cards are honest (assuming the player isn't in the MLB the next year).
uniquebaseballcards said:Its hilarious how some people are so threatened by someone thinking athletes should be wearing their proper uniform. Another case in point.
uniquebaseballcards said:IMO the most desirable card shows him on the correct team wearing the correct uniform.
uniquebaseballcards said:If I absolutely had to get an auto of his from 2011 I'd wait for an off-season a dozen or so years from now, and would prefer brands that didn't have his uniform photoshopped first.

That is refreshing coming from you.BBCgalaxee said:As a hobby store owner, Im on the front line & I can tell u that these "gimmicks" are great and collected/sought aster by my customers.
I bitch a lot about topps baseball stuff (rightfully so) but they kick major major ass w their flagship products.
Beckett said:The Rally Squirrel has a rookie card.
As seen in the pages of the latest issue of Beckett Baseball arriving on Wednesday — the same day as 2012 Topps baseball — the beloved rabble-rousing rodent who became an icon for the St. Louis Cardinals‘ run to a World Series title now can be found in packs of cards.
It’s one of a few surprise short-printed variation cards to be found in the product — so it’s not really a Rookie Card — but it should be one that commands attention from collectors
