When it comes to design and creativity, modern rules the market. It's like watching an old 70s movie vs a 2023 movie. The old movie may be cool, but the special effects, quality and everything else technology brought makes for a much "better" show. There are so many incredibly cool cards, it's hard to pick. The old standard Topps has it's appeal, and of course value, but they are fairly boring.

I collect everything, so I have never excluded anything.

Diecutting, lenticular, acetate, dufex to start. Sometimes it goes too far, but to each their own.

Here are two that I think are extra cool. Value and star power usually sways most peoples decisions when it comes to showing off the "best" cards, but there are plenty of cheap cards that are equally as cool. I have these 2 cards, but the 2 shown are not my copies, I just grabbed scans off the internet.
