Never said you were in that group in my post, but I agree with what you said. Fewer kids into gaming cards and more into sports cards is fine with me.

I think it could be a good thing for kids and maybe one of those odd ball items that player collectors also go after. Nothing wrong with something that might appeal to a different crowd.

Looks stupid, but if its for kids I guess its ok
They got me with this one. As dumb as those little plastic toy figures looked, these look like fun. My only quibble is only 10 portraits. Why not 75 portraits and 10 signatures? I'll be stamping everything with Ryan Howard's face like Shepherd Fairey.

Ok, which would you prefer: 2013 Topps Qubi or 2002 Celebriducks?

I'd guess they're using this as a test run and they are planning another series or two. They could definitely make this more expansive in the future and could do online picture contests for kids doing fun/interesting stuff with the stamps. They could do online redemptions for special stamps, or to make custom stamps, including of the kids picture/signature/team logo.

At least they are trying something new honestly.
I guess people are going to complain because it's not chrome, there aren't any "can't miss top prospects", and there won't be any money to be made. If you don't like it, don't buy it. Such a great hobby we have.

I think it's a cool idea for kids.
However, as smapdi mentioned, only 10 portraits and 15 team logo, but 50 signature stamps is a dumb idea.
Most players' signatures, like the Mike Trout pictured, are just sloppy scribbles.
Why would a child want to stamp illegible scribbles on their folders or paper, instead of players' faces or team logos?
What would have been really cool are all 75 stamps with player portraits and the signature underneath.
Whoever designed this product didn't think it through well enough.

I like the idea. I also agree that I think the team logos and portraits would be most desirable for kids. I may pick up a pack or two for my daughter when they come out.

If my player had one of these, I'd be all over it. They look cool.

Wow...I hear a lot of complaining about this product and a whole lot of "Well, if it's for KIDS, then I guess it's alright." C'mon people...I've seen some of the stupidest crap in all of you player collections...everything from marbles and baseballs with creepy looking portraits printed on them, to cardboard cutouts from old popsicle boxes and even pogs. You know you need your fix, and that means if your player is in this product, you'll eventually own it.
The only thing that keeps this thing from being labeled as "cool" is scarcity. If there was a rare gold holo insert version of each of the 10 portrait stamps released 1 in every 1850 packs for a total "print run" of only 8 or some crazy crap like that, you'd be slipping on your own drool trying to get to those. Or perhaps years down the road, after this product fails miserably and is discontinued, most stamps would vanish from the market (into the trash or into personal collections, or they'd be in less than mint condition from all the ink that kids got all over them), and the few remaining mint condition stamps would all be bought up by Calfas and start going for sick prices on eBay, at which point we'd start a new thread talking about how awesome they are and showing off our recent Qubi pickups.
You all want them...you just don't know it yet.
