Barry Larkin
Year: 2002
Brand: Fleer Authentix
Card number: 32
I always thought that the Fleer Authentix "gimmick" of looking like a ticket stub was kind of cool. The design concept also made for easy parallels - something that Fleer took advantage of with a second row parallel (#/250) and a front row parallel (#/150). Of course, Fleer also printed base cards which is what I have for today's Larkin Collection post (note: as of the time of this post I don't own either of the parallels from the set).
Turning our attention to the specific Larkin card at hand, I like the front design quite a bit - especially the large team logo behind the player. The back is a bit too sparse for my liking, though including the little bit about the player's home stadium was a nice nod to the set's theme.
Overall, this is a simple card but for whatever reason I kind of dig it. I won't be chasing the full set any time soon but as a one-of in my collection (unless I someday track down the parallels of course), it's pretty cool.
