In some terms it is probably better than flagship, but not in this case.<br /><br />I will stipulate that the Hudson is in the top 5 at least for card of the year so far, but nothing in my mind is better than the Reed Johnson with the birds. Actually the only thing that could beat it out would be a Marlon Byrd with the gulls flying around.hiflewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07128126188366882765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-29949819431087201852012-03-23T14:41:24.846-05:002012-03-23T14:41:24.846-05:00Ah, you beat me to it.

I had scanned the very same Hudson OD card to illustrate the change.night owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673973790245316059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-85138020415675415332012-03-23T14:31:15.331-05:002012-03-23T14:31:15.331-05:00Opening Day is really the odd duck of the Topps re...Opening Day is really the odd duck of the Topps release calendar. Aimed at kids who don't really collect but too vanilla for most collectors. They include mostly series 1 players but then add some series 2 into the mix. They change the photos on some cards but not all. They really should keep OD the same (small set, good mix of players) but change EVERY photo in the set and keep it unique to that set. Don't put a series 2 guy in OD with the same picture that he will have in S2. That way, the set becomes more desirable to those who feel its just another parallel set to the main set. Chrome is the same way too but shiny.moremonkeys138https://www.blogger.com/profile/05040986592810865491noreply@blogger.com
