1990 Topps

Shows Bush I as a Yale student in his baseball uniform. The auction says 100 cards were made by Topps specifically for the president. This one is auto'd. Anyone hear of these before?

yep

They were not issued auto'd, but Topps did produce them

SCD 2003 catalog has it listed at $300 in MT condition, saying that the card was made as a favor for Bush to hand out to family and friends but that some cards inadvertently made their way into packs and into the hobby.

I saw one at the '98 National in Chicago offered for $1000.

I am not sure if this is the seller but a few years back George H W Bush did a private signing with a company here in Michigan. It might be the same people. I seem to remember a couple of the cards being signed an offered for sale.

I was just in the mood to bring up the oldest thread here. November 2003. Ironically, this thread was started 5 days after I joined.

If anyone has one, I'm buying at $300.

Two types are known, one from packs another given directly to Bush, I forget which, but one was glossy. The 100 cards amount always bothered me, It's more likely that Topps produced a 132 card sheet as was common at the time. Originally I thought 100 went to Bush and maybe 32 into packs until the story about the two different types.
