Barry Larkin
Year: 1994
Brand: O-Pee-Chee
Card number: 125
I find myself enjoying a wide variety of sets (as evidenced by my eclectic want list). However, the O-Pee-Chee line has always been one of the brands that I never particularly cared for. This Larkin card is an excellent example of what I don't like about O-Pee-Chee.
The front of the card isn't bad, though most custom card creators probably designed a card that looked better than this design on their first attempt... If I had to improve it, I'd have made the team name a color rather than clear - and I'd have added the team logo somewhere, probably at the bottom right. That said, it's not a bad design, just boring...at least for the front of the card.
The back of the card, on the other hand, is awful. That is, it's awful if you are a set collector - look at the number in the top right corner...there's the brand logo overlapping it - ugh! Whoever thought that was a good idea ought to have their computer taken away. The rest of the card is alright, and like most Pacific cards, you get to learn a foreign language while looking at the card, so that's always fun right?
Finally, it deserves a mention - the card stock is also awful. It's barely thicker than a piece of paper - and feels almost as flimsy. It's almost like O-Pee-Chee used photo paper to print their baseball cards in 1994, ugh!
