Cheap Seats

Like a lot of collector's I had a period of time that I just didn't care as much about baseball cards as I do now.  The early 2000's was that time period for me.  Every once in awhile I run across cards from that time period that really stand out for one reason or another.  A few days I found one of those cards that peaked my curiousity - 2001 Skybox EX Cheap Seat Treats.

In addition to the die-cut design that caught my eye I knew there was some sort of gimmick as the player was mostly hidden behind the old style stadium seat.  I thought that maybe the player was a separate piece of cardboard that slid in and out of the card.  Being a David Justice fan I grabbed this card for about a buck since I was so curious.

Once I got the card in hand and looked at the back I could tell that David was part of the card and not a separate piece of cardboard.  Then I noticed a portion on the front of the card that appeared to be a little thicker.

The bottom of the "seat" on the card folds down to reveal the player!  Ok, it's not an earth shattering gimmick or concept, but none the less I like it.  I don't have any plans to chase the other cards in the set, but it's always fun to discover a new old card such as this.
