Verizon has this content app called Go90. I recently learned
the “90” in the name is associated with turning your phone 90-degrees so it
acts as a more conventional video-viewing screen. I would have never guessed
that from the name, but made sense once the logic was explained to me.
Anyhow, I was reminded of Go90 when these two cards arrived.
It’s my first look at the 2016 Allen & Ginter, although if you told me in
was 2013 or 2014 or 2015 I wouldn’t have argued. I’m at the point now where I
can’t look at Ginter and automatically know which year it’s from.
I do like the teal/aqua color of Allen & Ginter. That
was a nice touch.
What most threw me was that the mini that accompanied the
base card – in this instance a black bordered version – was turned 90 degrees.
Perhaps this is a common trend, but I don’t think I’ve noticed it before. Topps
was able to show a bit more of the photo, as well as the background of the
image. It also looks more like Luis Severino than Big Mike. Just a weird angle.
Anyhow, I thought it was an interesting route for Topps to
take, and wonder if anyone else has thought something similar when comparing the
base cards to the minis. I also know this product has been out for about six
weeks and this topic likely has already been touched upon.
