Round 1J of the Barry Larkin Experiment is almost over (go here to see the nominees if you haven't already) but since I have Friday off today, let's get a head start and begin Round 1K!
Here are your four cards to choose from - and as always, the top two vote getters move on to the next round.
2000 UD HoloGrFX base:
Now that we got many (not all) of the early 1990s Larkin cards out of the way, we move on to the latter half of the 90s and the early 00s and run into plenty of crazy cards like this UD HoloGrFX card. The front of the card is metallic and shiny while the back is monotone and dull. Will the shiny outweigh the dullness to move this card into the second round of voting?
2002 Donruss Diamond King:
Back when the 1991 Donruss Diamond King Larkin came around, I was convinced that card would win its round easily. Not only did the Diamond King card not win the round, it couldn't even muster up enough votes for second place! Given the recent history, I'm less sure this card will move on to the next round - but it's nice enough that I still think it has a fairly good chance.
1992 Topps base:
I find votes like this round to be the most fun because of the sheer variety of choices. Will the shiny of Upper Deck trump the white cardboard of '92 Topps? Will the Diamond King reign supreme? All of these questions will be answered soon - and frankly, I cannot wait! As for the 1992 Topps card at hand, I always liked the '92 set because it featured a photo of the team's stadium on the back of the card. I enjoyed checking out the various stadiums (I remember thinking the photo of Riverfront was boring) and trying to figure out which stadiums I would most like to visit.
2006 Fleer Greats of the Game base:
The '06 Fleer Greats of the Game card is probably the only card that I feel confident in its chances to move on to the next round. Whether you like the old sets or new sets, the Fleer Greats set combined elements of each into a great set! You can't argue with the classiness of the front, nor can you argue with the full stats on the back of the card. I suppose some will say the design is kind of drab (and it is) but still...it ought to be good enough for at least second place, right?
As before, the poll is on the sidebar - vote now (and if you didn't vote for the last round, do so now as well because that vote ends soon)!
