Seen this line of topin around before on various places. Seeing what opinions get raised around here.
If you were asked to provide suggestions to the various card companies (either generic statements or company specific), what would you suggest to them to change or help improve:
A few of my beefs:
1- One color patches. With the abundant use of photo shoot jerseys and event worn items being infiltrated into the products I fail to see why so many 1 color patches still make it into cards. Frankly collectors have proven that sales do not reflect any disdain for jersey origin and it almost barely matters that the jersey was even ever worn. Look at some of the Letterman cards from Donruss Threads, SP Rookie Threads, Hot Prospects, etc. They are manufactured letter patches. All collectors seem to care about is sweet looking patches.
2- Photography. Please stop using the same image for every single product line. As a player collector it is depressing to see scores of cards of your player in the exact same depiction or pose and nothing changes but the title of the product.
3- Card Numbering. Keep serial numbers on the front of cards, well displayed either with a different font, different color or create an appropriate spot for the serial number to be definable.
Anyone have any other suggestions?
