with series 2 out, i've decided to once again compare the dodger cards from flagship to their factory team set counterparts. this is something i've done for most of the dodger sets from 2006 on (not in real-time, of course), but not since the 2016 set, and it will be the first full comparison since 2015. if you are interested, i'll link to the previous posts at the end of this post. even if you are not, the links will be there more for me to find in the future. flagship cards will be on the left, with the factory set cards on the right. ready? here we go!

dodger stadium
there is no comparative card in flagship for the team set dodger stadium card, but there is in opening day:
same photo, different crop.
here's the back of the team set card, with some info about the 2019 team and a reminder about the 2020 all-star game

so there you have it.
i also purchased the national league stars factory team set which included a couple of dodgers - bellinger
and kershaw
nice to see different photos used for those cards.
