In 2008 Contenders baseball form appeared - [phil:297wws09]180631474482[/phil:297wws09] and these cards were wildly successful, even without MLB jerseys.
However, since then, we all know the story, Topps got the exclusive and so ended brands like Contenders in baseball (and now Elite too). However, looking at some of Panini's latest releases got me to thinking, what if the MLB had went the other way and introduced more competition into the market rather than less.
Would you like prospect cards like...
This - [phil:297wws09]260746537118[/phil:297wws09]
or
This - [phil:297wws09]230593517372[/phil:297wws09]
or even veteran stuff like:
This - [phil:297wws09]250783517392[/phil:297wws09]
alright...I'll end my dreaming now but man, I'd love to have options like that in the baseball world.
