2003-04 has a good overall design. Catches my eye, but is just somehow lacking something to make me want to go out and grab the whole set.

Still wouldn't mind finding a few more of these.

One of my least favorite designs. And from the lockout year, I might add...

Seems they often try too hard when there's no season happening. It's definitely not overdone, but just something about the overall mood of the card...

I'd give it more artistic merit than its' predecessor, although the stats are a bit difficult to read.

Probably my overall favorite design of the group. Already had a few of these.

Visually appealing, without trying to be too busy or complicated. Would definitely like to add more of these to my collection.
