Smooth move by Panini. I mean that sincerely.

That being said … (and no offense to him) but I don’t want a Murray Chass autograph.

I’d like a Marty Brennaman auto…”and this one belongs to the Reds”…and on a similar note, they need to elect his broadcast partner, the late Joe Nuxhall, to the Hall as well…”this is the old left-hander, rounding third and heading for home”

sounds like a great set. The history of the game is important including the voices that brought us the game.

It should be noted that the winners of the J. G. Taylor Spink or the Ford C. Frick Awards, while honored by the Hall of Fame at its annual induction ceremony, are not actually considered Hall of Famers themselves.

Still, it’s a nice inclusion in this set, and has the benefit of not having to have team logos removed from the pictures. As someone who grew up watching “This Week in Baseball,” I wouldn’t mind getting a Mel Allen card.

Cooperstown looks like a step in right direction for Panini because its different from every other Topps product out there. I really hope that Cooperstown and Triple Play do well next because we need baseball products that focus on areas of the market not covered by Topps. Triple Play with its focus on kid and fun and Cooperstown with its focus on the Hall of Fame could fill some of those gaps.

I am tired of prospects set, tired of code cards and silly redemptions, and annoyed that most of the really nice products are high end. Including non-players is something in the long run that could pay off for this set because it is something different.
