MY RATINGS:
Front Design: 8.5 out of 10 Good pictures, all in game action shots, nice design, good border color, nice gold foil for 50 years, team logo.
Back Design:
 8 out of 10 Nice design, full career stats, player photo, nice write ups about player, good player info, no team logo.
Player Selection:
7 out of 10
Good, all players had/have good long careers.
FINAL OVERALL RATING: 2 RBI Single into left field. A great layout on both sides, 3 keepers including a gold makes it a hit. I very much like this set and may have to try and build it down the road. The trend of Yankees and no Mets continues but that's ok.





Thanks for Reading!
