I remember baseball cards from about 1994 or 5, Upper Deck I think, that had a scratch off game. Ring a bell?
Question:There was one per pack. I think it was 1994, 95, or 96, Upper Deck Collector's Choice. I got nostalgic about it and I can't figure out what they were!
Answers:
Is there any other closer now in the majors that is better than Jonathan Papelbon?
I don't have any handy, but I'm absolutely certain that the 1994 set of CC had scratch-off cards. I'm not sure if they did the same thing in those other seasons - 1994 just stands out because it was a year when I spent way too much money on cards.Is David Ortiz a great hitter?
I cannot recall any scratch-off contest cards in the various Collector's Choice products, but UD did have a scratch-off set in its 1997 base set, called Predictors. Predominantly red cards with four scratch-off "bats", of which only one was supposed to be revealed, each bat revealing a different unusual (but not improbable) feat the pictured player might do during the year, and if he did, the card could be exchanged for a similar card of that player. Fortunately the flashlight trick allowed all four events to be determined, such that a winning event could be scratched off with confidence.For a complete (yet unofficial) list of the cards, the events, and the winners, click here: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.colle...
Edit: ohhhhhhh... THOSE things. It folds out, right? Yeah, I do remember them now. Strictly for fun, or at least *I* never had a winner card. I probably have a stack buried someplace. I'm pretty sure that was 1994 UD CC, the first year that set was released.
Do the red sox will be the next champion in this year?
the scratch off game was a card with 2 players on the frontgenerally paired by position, you opened it up , picked a lineup, and scratched off a circle to see what your offensive result was, your opponent scratched off his rusult, and you played a 9 inning game. cards also had a bar to scratch off to see if you were a instant winner of somethingMore Questions & Answers...
