Here is where I get a little more critical of Topps NOW. Overall I really like the concept, but sometimes the delivery leaves something to be desired. To me this concept should really capture the moment. This photo used to commemorate a very efficient "Maddux" complete game by Ivan Nova is just so boring. It might as well be his 2017 flagship base card.
I think I like the flagship card better. I know Topps is handcuffed by what Getty gives them, but come on. Maybe a shot of him and the catcher shaking hands. How about him fist pumping coming off the mound.....Seriously, anything would be better than what they chose.
I guess the joke is on me since I still bought the card.
I tend to agree. A lot of the shots are half body close ups.
ReplyDeleteIt really is my one big complaint. I know pitchers are the hardest to capture in unique poses, but that doesn't even look like they are trying.
