Okay, So I Was Wrong About The "No Gimmick" Thing...

Only after I finish my post on 2008 Topps U & H showing up on the Bay do I read UD shill...ahem...the guy at Stale Gum talking about possibly ending his boycott of Topps products as long as there were, and I'm indirectly quoting him here, "no cards of furry creatures, contrived errors, or cards of fictional teenage prospects."

Guess what he found...




WHAT??!
The same eBay case ripper pulled both of these lovely cards out of his boxes. In both auction descriptions, he writes,

"...possible only card produced, maybe only One Exists?"
Yeah right. These are 1 of 1's and you, buddy, are the only person on the planet who pulled BOTH OF THEM!!! And to boot, he has BIN's on both of them. Get this. The Bruce has a Buy It Now price of $1,500, and the Fukudome has a BIN of $2,500. Both have opening bids of $0.99, and as of 1:27 AM CST, the same guy is bidding on both. But there are reserves in place on both, so the BIN's are still active. This is too funny.

If these was an unannounced variation card (like the Jacoby Ellsbury card) or a completely separate card with the same design (ie. Poley Walnuts), then I'd think yeah, I'd go for it. But these are blatant error cards, like the Joba Chamberlain cards of last year (reverse negative, Houston Astros), I'm not going to lose sleep if I don't get them.

To my friend and eBay rival Craig from Texas, they're all yours!!!
