MY RATINGS:
Front Design: 8 out of 10 Good pictures (some posed and some action), team colors represented, good use of foil.
Back Design:  8 out of 10 Nice design, team logo on some cards, full career stats, good layout. 
Player Selection: .7.5 out of 10 Good, decent prospects and all-stars and a future HOFer.
FINAL OVERALL RATING: Triple to center field. Some good players and a hit of a future HOFer make this an easy triple. No keepers for me keeps this one in the ballpark.
