Fun Friday Entry 1

It's the weekend!!!

Things are supposed to be fun!!!

Baseball is fun, right?
Baseball cards are fun, right?

Most kids these days will disagree with those statements, but card manufacturers are trying to draw interest from the younger crowd.

My Fun Friday entries will look at how card manufacturers are trying to capture a younger audience.

2013 Panini Triple Play was a complete failure for the company to create a budget friendly set to attract kids 10 and under and get them to collect cards.

The set features cartoon looking images of players with some degree of likeness, but entirely stylized to the artist's rendition.    There are no team logos as expected by an unlicensed company.

The back has some facts about the player (although Cutch didn't win the MLBPAA Rookie of Year in 2009, he did win the Baseball America Rookie of Year award) but nothing too interesting.

Today packs of this set can be found for about a quarter a pack.  Upon release they had a SRP of 99 cents. 

If I was a kid, I wouldn't have any interest in this set.

Friday Fun Factor?

FAIL!!!!
