Has anyone opened any of this product. For some reason this excites me. Great looking cards and awesome autos/inserts.
If this card doesnt make you want to go out to the garage right now and grab the glove, your heart is not beating.

IM SO SORRY I CANT FIGURE OUT HOW TO LIINK PICTURES.
This card I think down the road will be the most sought after card from this set. Look at the picture. It kinda wraps up the entire Pete Rose "fiasco".
This could be a caption contest.
Pete: No damn you I said 40k and we would win by 4.
I love this card
">First Card
">Second Card
I think this is one of the greatest products EVER. Think about it "Pete Rose" "Pete Rose"
I dont care who you are, if you know anything about baseball you know "Charlie Hustle".
Hes prob not the most upstanding citizen, but hes Pete Rose
The guy is prob the greatest hitter ever. Think about it, you buy a box, .....ok lets be honest here its a 6 card pack inside the box. (from what I have read and recall). thats guarentees you a Pete Rose auto. (a box is like 65.00). Its a Leaf Product, 2011. Any baseball fan woud Love a box of this for Christmas. Alot of the autographed Rose cards are numbered to /10.
DISCLAIMER: The wine has curbed my brain from thinking correctly
All im saying is this is a great product.
Get on eBay and look for the "quotes" / "phrases" / "sayings" from the set. All hand writen and signed. Funny ole' Pete
I think this set would of been amazing with all RED ink.

I think this is a cool set too, but I agree with this sentiment that some of the inscriptions he did are ridiculous and kind of ruin the set.

No place in baseball for Rose, a cheater and a liar, how soon people forget. He's not just a buffoon but an idiot to boot!

What makes him a cheater? That he loved to gamble just like 100 million+ other red blooded Americans? I dont think you could find a spot in the country where you are more than 100 miles from some form of government sanctioned gambling operation.....be it a dog/horse track, a casino, or a state run lottery. But we want to villainize Pete Rose because he did what most of us love to do?

Wow, you're on a roll today...
So, are you saying that buying/selling stock based on inside information isn't a big deal, because 100+ million other Americans buy/sell stock? It's a perfect analogy for what he admitted to.

Incorrect. Had Rose bet AGAINST his team and then threw games to profit......then we are close in analogies. Pete bet for his team.....something that he could not influence as he gave it 110% whether there was money riding or not.

That's a very poorly thought out point. Any bookie worth his salt would find a great deal of value in seeing when Rose chose NOT to bet. Rose choosing to bet on his team on days he knew something that others did not is ALL it takes to be analagous to insider trading. It's also ALL it requires to run afoul of the MLB rules on gambling.
As for the "throwing games" part, insider trading regs don't require the trader to actively do ANYTHING at work to influence the stock, merely to buy/sell based on inside information. So my analogy works quite well, tyvm.

Hardly.
The man has devolved into a self-parody at this point.

I've always maintained he belongs in the HOF as fans deserve it. but he needs to go in the day after his funeral, as he forfeited the honor of seeing it.
Guy was a fantastic player; a dead-certain HOF talent. But he knew the rules when he made those bets. Or, when he DIDN'T make some bets for those who see a distinction without any difference.

His behavior since his playing days certainly not HOF-like, whether that should matter - I'm not a voter.

Insider trading affects the market. Pete's "insider betting" would have only affected the betting world not the world of baseball. Sure the bookie could have used info about what games Rose bet on and which he didn't to his advantage but that would never affect the game itself.

You're assuming that this man of character and integrity (who spent over a decade lying about betting on baseball) didn't throw any games he bet on. Considering that he was a player/manager late in his career, he had a lot of power to hurt his team w/o being obvious about it.

Most if not all of us do not work in an industry that, as a requirement to be paid millions of dollars for playing a childs game, requires one to avoid gamblers and gambling establishments as a right to participate in said child's game. Major League players as well as staff are required to avoid any possibilities of impropriety when it comes to gambling so as to not taint the game and lend a possibility to someone throwing a game because of gamblers. He may have done what millions of others do when he bet on a basketball or football game, but betting on baseball went way over the line and I have zero sympathy for the man (he should have avoided the football and basketball bets as well). Every professional ballplayer knows the rules and the consequences about gambling before they ever step on a field for the first time. While I believe Rose was a great player, the guy was a jag to the game as well. I had worked with him as a member of a MLB front office staff and he could not have been nicer to me atthe time. But to bet on the game and to deny it for 10 years, while calling everyone who accused him a liar makes him a a-hole to me and he rightfully should be excluded from the hall.

WOW is that a naive position or what? Betting can't have an impact on the game? Have you ever heard of any of the literally dozens of high-profile point-shaving scandals that have hit sports over the decades?

The point that you were accusing someone of actually selling pot when it really didnt happen. Thats a fairly large claim you were making there without facts to back it up.

That is the most educated synopsis I have ever heard regarding the situation. Excellent logic behind your statement.
<< <i>Incorrect. Had Rose bet AGAINST his team and then threw games to profit......then we are close in analogies. Pete bet for his team.....something that he could not influence as he gave it 110% whether there was money riding or not. >>
I have no problem with Pete being re-instated and elected into the Hall of Fame. It wouldn't bother me one bit.
However, even if Pete only bet FOR his team, there can still be problems. Example: If he bets big to win on Thursday, maybe he holds back his better relievers on Wednesday (or overuses them on Thursday at the expense of Friday's game).
I'm not saying Pete actually did anything of the sort, but the possibility of it is the classic counter-point to the "he only bet for the Reds to win" argument.

How is Rose playing the buffoon with that card????
Rose was born on April 14th, which happens to be the date Lincoln was shot and the Titanic sank. I think it's kind of neat he is giving a history lesson on a card...

Were Rose's managerial decisions influenced by his decision to bet ON his team on a given day, and could those decisions affect the team's chances of winning on a subsequent day? What about his management of the bullpen and bench? What about playing an injured player? This is not cut and dry at all. Any betting on his team, for or against, was inexcusable.
