Granderson's card is notable in that it is the first non-secret short printed card of him as a Yankee. It uses the same photoshopped picture as his Topps Series 1 card (#222b), but is in portrait layout instead of landscape. The main feature of Opening Day that I have always liked--different color schemes--is absent in this set, but finds its way in parallel form. A very nice looking blue-bordered parallel (#/2010) is the second Granderson card in the set. Four printing plates round out his offerings--in the interest of aesthetics, I'll show those if and when I ever find an image of them, instead of sticking placeholders in there. Luckily, we've got the Cyan one to kick us off.
As 2010 card sets go, Opening Day is the most meager of Granderson offerings. Shocking that it took me so long to find what I was looking for. Lackluster though it may be, we can't just pick and choose what cards are out there, now can we?
