The TTT wood allure has left me a bit since I made my own this weekend, so I'm going with the Big Hurt! There is just something about a die cut wood card in a sea of flashy 90's cards that really jumps out. It is a very difficult decision though, because the Holliday is absolutely incredible, and surely a cornerstone card for any Holliday collection. The Thomas just has that whole 90's parallel mystique going for it.

Wow, tough one. Holliday for me just because I like the patches.

Tough call. I'll go Holliday due to the two laundry tag patches.

Frank by a smidge. Both are nice.

I can't put my finger on why, but I don't like TTT wood cards. Never have.

Holliday

To echo Tanner, when you think of the time period they are from... I would def say the Thomas.

 

[fordman]

I'm going with the Holliday even though he's a Cardinal.

Like last time, since I have the TTT Wood itch scratched from my last custom, it is easier this round for me to pick against it. It would be hard for me NOT to pick Jose of course, as it is one of my favorite cards ever! Here's how I broke it down for my scoring:

Ethier TTT Pros
- Wood
- colorful patches

Canseco Museum Pros
- Wood
- Perfect silver on card (wood) signature
- Gold foil used for the name, border & footer artwork
- Wood Frame
- He's my childhood hero

Ethier is all kinds of cool, but ... you guessed it! Jose wins this round for me And btw ... the pic shows the Canseco looking like it has an offcut frame on the right ... it does not. It is perfectly centered and has the same size border all around.

[Lancemountain]
