1998 Mike Piazza E-X 2001 "Cheap Seat Treats"

This post is brought to you by that awkward moment when you say a joke from your favorite T.V. show and no one knows what the hell you are talking about. 

First off, I hate saying the name of this card. There's no rhythm, no alliteration, no iambic pentameter, nothing. It bothers me. 

 I won this card on ebay for just under $3 last week. These inserts fell one per box and it's a card that I've always seen but never picked up for one reason or another. The seat blocking Piazza folds down...

...to give you a full shot. It's kindda a neat idea, I guess.Unfortunately, the entire card is just sortta awkward. Even putting it into the binder was tough. It's thicker than a normal card, but quite as thick as a Relic. The die cuts on top kept catching the top of the page and I had to keep holding the sleeve up.

It's a Piazza card, so I like it, but it's one of those ideas I think was better on paper than how it actually translated to.
