It’s a neat idea, but having to pop the thing in front of a web-cam just seems hokey and outdated. If they really wanted to rake in the cash hand over fist, they would make a small (and semi-pricey) electronic “card reader” device that let you swipe the cards you buy into a virtual collection and let you index the stats and stuff.
If it weren’t for the fact that it likely requires that you install some special, adware-ridden software to display the graphics, I’d think it’d be a pretty cool step forward. But I’m guessing it’s probably a pretty annoying process.
They should just reformat. Go the way of Garbage Pail Kids.
Mangled Manny Ramirez
Choked Chase Utley
I’d totally buy those.
hehehe…I just realized “choked” also works because of the baseball reference.
I feel creeped out.
And I feel like I should have sold my huge collection of baseball cards I have in my room back when they actually meant something, instead of collection all the Ken Griffey Jr. cards I could for when he broke the home run record.
I feel like this is the Kindle conversation all over again. It’s cool, but it sucks, but it’s progress, well I like regular baseball cards, yeah but I don’t want to carry four binders full of ‘em, sounds like a personal problem, I want a real traditional baseball card collection, DIGITAL INK! DIGITAL INK!, these baseball cards hurt my eyes, no they don’t, DIGITAL INK!
That about sums it up. I think it looks like shit and it’s really lame, but I see that they’re trying something new, and I guess that has to count for something.
DIGITAL INK!
aaaahahahahahahahah! brilliant!
I wonder if this would hurt my eyes more or less than the kindle screen. Because damn, that screen on that kindle has got to hurt the eyes.
