Welp. I still think the cards are kind of gimmicky, still not as cool as the Pacific Ornaments, but I sorta caved a little bit once I saw the relic cards in the set. Not that I really love relic cards all that much, but there are a few players I like, so what the heck. I got a few. Might get a few more. These are especially nice when I can trade for them, or buy them off of Ebay, rather than actually having to venture into Wal-Mart.
I hate the place, although I liked when Mizzou fans made fun of former coach, and Duke player, Quin Snyder by photoshopping him into pictures as a Wal-Mart greeter.
So here are the Wally World holiday cards that I have managed to add so far....
First up is a card of the Cardinals ace pitcher Carlos Martinez. The snowflake design doesn't really stand out on this card, but it's there. This is the only relic card of a Cardinals player in the holiday set, so this is likely it for cards of the Birds. There are some Metallic cards in the set, but I am likely to skip over them.
Next. One of my favorite Durham Bulls from last year....
These snowflake cards are the definition of gimmicky - but, I'd be lying if I didn't want one or two of the gimmicks. They're kind of cool; although, you're entirely right that they don't even compare to the Pacific ornaments. Of course, there's a lot of Pacific stuff that just doesn't compare to anything else.
