Unfortunately, there is evidence of more Pujols rookies being circulated into the public then the initial 500. The latest count for Pujols rookies numbered 005/500 is at 6. It is possible that people are forging the number for an extra few hundred bucks but what is stopping Bowman from printing $7000 for virtually pennies? Upper Deck has shown us that modern card companies are setting their standards lower than the collectors and it is very possible that Bowman could pocket the extra cash. That is why all serial numbered cards should be engraved rather then written on with a blue sharpie.
And Pujols today is better then any right handed hitter to ever play the game. I don't believe he is juicing but I didn't for A-Rod or Manny either.
