Agreed!

Great card, lousy sticker. What would be so tough about taking a picture of the card and putting it on an accompanying COA letter?

I had a beater E91 McBride auto that had the sticker. I peeled it off. Left a little oval of empty space on the back, but was better than having that damn sticker on it.

There is a strip card with this same image that is extremely hard to find. I saw one on eBay years ago in a lot that didn't have it labeled and I missed out on it. I haven't seen another since.

Thanks for posting a picture of the Thorpe strip card, Andy. Very cool item. I read about it, but have yet to see one for sale. Do you happen to remember what it went for?

Hi Jeff,

I think the whole lot that the strip card was included with went for around $50 total. It was a total steal for whoever won it. I missed the end of the auction and was so bummed.

Damnit Paul, now I want that McBride :)

Picked this up. Got it for such a cheap price, that I am tempted to flip it, even though I need it for my complete Sport Kings set...
