That would look awesome framed on my office wall-- is it for sale?

Since its a Topps card I am curious at to why there is no Yankees logo on his hat. That seems sort of odd.

Thanks for the link. Seeing as the back is blank-- and thus they're of no use to any nefarious types with the aforementioned laser cutter, hopefully the price is negotiable 2k is a bit steep.

Regarding the lack of Yanks logo, that's what makes the card so interesting; clearly there was a license issue-- even though Topps had the license, some think perhaps the card was intended for foreign/global distribution and thus only Topps' mlbpa license, which covered player likenesses, applied.

It isn't mine. Good luck with negotiations.

Oh, didn't mean to intimate it was yours-- was just thinking out loud. Tough to price sheets like that, as opposed to regular cards with VCP and such. I once saw a set of 75s in sheets, looked awesome framed.

here's one that just sold:

The guy described it as the only one in existence, haha, guess he was wrong. I'm sure the buyer isn't laughing now that he sees another listed.

That signed sheet at least has the sig (looks good from here), and the backs. Though the blank back sheet is clearly in better shape. Framed I'd take the signed one though.
