Default Things that make you go hummm?

I know this isn't a pre 1980, but wanted to get your thoughts.

I saw this auction and couldn't help but chuckle. How does a card or should I say 1/4 of a card get a 9.5 grade? How can one accurately grade only a quarter of a card?

How can that even be considered a card? I can think of so many cards from the 50's that I would love to have to plop down $500 on , or you can have the cutting floor scrapes ? nice corners on the card though.... Brett

This is the first trim job that I've seen on the inside of a card. I guess it would have been a 10 if not for the huge hole in the middle.

$500.00 for a card with no picture? I don't get it.

The complete card was pulled from production and they changed the die cutting to remove the picture so the cards would be easier to find and remove.

Obviously some got through, and the cutout card isn't common.

But $500 seems a bit silly to me too.


Hey, I've got a bit of a classic brand card that was the strip between cards before cutting that I'd let go for $250

The card in question is a 2006 Topps Alex Gordon. Background information, and an image of the uncut card, can be found here. And ESPN has an interesting article about the card.

Hey, I know what this is! It's from the Topps Card Safe collection! What you do is buy a stack of them, and then you can hide a key or other small object inside -- right on a shelf or in a card box. You know, like hiding something in plain sight?

Default Topps

I have all my Topps pre 1995 sets in binders and have tried to get all the variations listed by SCD for those sets. After 1994 the regular sets are all still in boxes, except for a run of all the Heritage sets

Post 1994 I have not done many variations, but the Gordon card was one exception because of the hobby publicity it got when Topps pulled it from the set. It was supposed to be card 297. I ended up with 3 versions of it. The cut out ( mine is only Becket 9 ), the white blank version...no cut out but no image, just Royals at top and name/position on bottom, and one of the actual pulled cards with regular front and back( several made it into the hobby). The latter is in an SCG 88 holder
