The card stock is a bit thin and those huge green fields in the background of most of these cards gets distracting but overall I really enjoy these cards and I think I am going to give this set a go. It is mainly because I enjoy pulling cards of old time players and minor leaguers who have unique stories of their own. It's clear from these that Tristar put a lot of research into the product and what the set lacks in card quality it more than makes up for in card content.

President Taft was included here because he was Commander in Chief in 1909 when the first Obak set came out.

Here is what the reverse looks like:

Team: Columbus Clippers
This card was very surprising to me. When was the last time you were surprised by a card? Mike was the player that was killed by a line drive while coaching on first base. That incident let to the rule change that coaches on the field have to wear batting helmets.

Team: Oklahoma City Redhawks

Oh wow! An OKC Redhawk. That's cool.
Nice pack. I bought four retail packs and only got three minor league cards. Obviously, I was a little disapointed.
I'm surprised that they got Wallace after he was traded (which was after the Futures Game), but didn't get Alvarez after he was promoted (which was before the Futures Game).
