I'm more curious than anything about how the general collecting public views these cards. If you had a choice between one of these two cards which would you rather? (No, the Canseco is not mine, lol.)

To state the obvious:
Pujols: Quad Patch, Licensed, #/5, includes laundry tag
Canseco: Quad Patch, Unlicensed, 1/1, includes better laundry tag and autograph

    I'm not a fan of either design, both have too much dead area. I guess the Canseco is slightly better with a better pic and in color.

    I’d rather have the Pujols and it’s not close.

    Not a fan of either, but to answer your question, Pujols. And I was a fan of Canseco.

    It's all about the License for me.

    Pujols Pros: Licensed and HOF

    Canseco Pros: 1/1 and Auto

    But I too would select neither...but if I had to choose I’d take the auto.

    I'll take Jose.

    The Pujols looks too much like a mug shot.

    The Canseco.

    I don't care that one is licensed vs the other unlicensed.

    It's all about the Canseco being color with a much better photo.

    Both are pretty poor designs, IMHO, however.

    I'd go with the Canseco. I'd rather have an autographed card than a jersey-swatch thingy.

    Panini baseball just never ceases to amaze me. What team do you play for on that card Jose? LOL. If I'm going to pay $2,500 + shipping for a card, it better have the Oakland A's logo on his helmet and jersey.

    I agree on the not a fan of relic cards... but if I had to choose, then it’s Albert all day everyday! Arguably one of the best players of all time!

    Pujols by a mile. Don't care for "air brushed out" pics because of no MLB logo and Canseco auto's can be obtained easily.

    I don’t get the appeal of either card - small little pieces of fabric placed into a poor card design - but can’t stand cards that have team logos airbrushed out. So I guess Pujols but the design on that card is a mess.

    The Canseco is the better looking card to me. The Pujols may as well be jersey patches taped to a 3x5 card. It has so much blank space and really is ugly.

    Canseco. I would much rather have an auto, even without the jersey, than a multi-jersey swatch card.
