Capewood's Collections: Photo re-use, again

Monday, March 22, 2010

Just a quick post today.

2010 Topps Heritage #356 - Dan Haren

This is a nice picture but I'm sure I've seen it before. Oh, yea...

2009 Topps 206 #62 - Dan Haren

At least the background is a different color.

I do a lot of shopping on COMC and see this quite a bit on the relic/auto cards, too. I don't like it one bit. But perhaps we're all the crazy ones for buying the products at all??? Why should they put forth effort when it doesn't matter??; March 22, 2010 at 2:34 PM

For this and other reasons I've decided to buy fewer new cards this year. With the demise of Upper Deck, I guess I was going to buy fewer cards anyway, but I'm planing to buy fewer of each release than I have in the past. And I'm planning to keep even fewer. I'll keep Phillies, Astros and the players I collect but most of the rest will be given or traded away.; March 22, 2010 at 3:45 PM
