^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Gold Label is a premium issue. The cards are thinner than in the past. The cards will be condition sensitive - especially the corners and sides of the cards.... The front is a high gloss with 2 pictures of the player. The class designation is in the background of one of the pictures. The reverse has personal stats, career stats, average season stats, and career best stats along with a write up of a highlight or 2 of the player's career.

Gold Label features today's players and retired players as well. The set seems to be a 100 card set with 3 different classes for each player -- therefore a set of 300 cards for the master set builder. The set builder should enjoy the chase of Gold Label. The player collector (even the retired player collector) should also be pleased. With only 100 players selected for the set, lots of players will be left out of the set --so the possibility that your particular player is included is hit and miss.

The framed auto looks great! Well done! Blue Sharpee on card!

Overall grade B+ maybe a larger set -- 150 cards to include more current players.

Go buy several boxes and should you find a current Ray - parallel or auto... send it to me!

Bader does look good.

He is fun to watch. Seen him score from 2nd this year on a ground out to first. Part of the reason they traded Tommy Pham to Tampa. You haven't become a fan of Pham yet there have you?

Pham seemed to be a good fit in Tampa and seemed to be rejuvenated... hopefully, he'll be what he really can be next year.

Yeah, he was great here when he got to play. Then, when he didn't get a long term deal, even though he wasn't due yet, he got angry. Very angry emotions against the organization, and I think it affected his play and he affected the locker room. He needed a fresh place with a fresh start. I just hope he doesn't try to work Tampa for a deal, and gets angry all over again. He is an emotional player, and it can be a detriment to him. If he doesn't let stuff like that bother him, I think he will rake in Tampa.

Do you have any interest in some of his autos? I have some here and would love to trade for the Bader, and send you one for the Flaherty.
