Whomever designed that card needs to fired.


Yeah the card doesn't have the greatest design, but i can live with it as id just be staring at the cuts. Also impressed that they almost got all three cuts on the card without having to cut off half of a players name, haha. I would have choosen a different Maris cut though, one without the Cardinals logo!!

...that's the first thing I noticed. It's a great triple auto though. That starting price is a little crazy though.......

I guess it's a matter opinion but I think to get three cuts, three pics, and to stay with the Heritage theme makes it a great design and the designer should have gotten a promotion.

I am guessing it is supposed to be a Yankees great card. The cards logo on the Maris had to be an oversight.
Even with the kindergarten design the overlook is worse. I would say waste of three cuts.

Actually, in the lower right it says "Chase '61", so yes they are Yankee greats, however this card is clearly for the '61 home run chase.

This card has come up for discussion a few times on FCB
Great concept, poor execution (too busy of backgrounds on each cut IMO)

Are there really baseball fans who don't know how Babe Ruth, Roger Maris, and Mickey Mantle are related besides being Yankee greats?

Agreed, 63 topps had some bright colors, and I think this card represents that well.

saw that card a few times and although the concept of putting those three in one card is just awesome, id have preferred if they put ruth cut on the front while both maris n mantle in the back

Besides the bird I dont see anything to really complain about (even that is a reach) . Its near perfect execution of staying in line with the design of the original. Hell I am happy its not a stupid triple booklet with questionable GU pieces.

i think for once topps did a pretty good job on that triple cut. usually there's bits and pieces here and there that are cut off. pretty crazy price though.

I think they did a decent design job there for a card. The issue some people have is that when they think of a Ruth (or Mantle, or Maris) auto, they don't think of an auto'd baseball card, they think of an auto'd baseball.
