Bad News...

I've emailed Greg Kohn (UD guy who was on the Beckett boards) a couple time since he left said boards, for the most part talking about upcoming products. While they've been benign, I just heard this---UD is in the process of getting a PSA 2 T206 Wagner for an upcoming product to cut up as "memorabilia". Only 25 or so cards are known, and one is headed to the chopping block

The design is fairly similar to the Topps T206 release, so this is probably trying (like Goudey) to cut into Topps' Heritage/A&G/Turkey red niche. From what I understand, however, a product won't be designed around it but it incorporated into another, such as Legendary Cuts.

The only good news is that the deal for a card is not finalized yet (I have no idea where they are at---the above is a design, not a scan). Even that, however, isn't great---there's at least one (the one the Football HOF Rookie guy has) potentially for sale.

This sucks big time.

Looking for Jonny Gomes cards, especially Triple Threads and printing plates. Will consider all cards, though. Got something? Contact me at c_u_l_1@yahoo.com

    Ha ha. April Fools.
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."
  • Yeah, I nailed this one as an april fools too. Nice try. image

    That's the most awesomest card I've ever seen! I can only imagine the Superfractor version!

    Sick!
  • Whether or not this is an April Fools joke..........I always thought they would do something like this. For the past atleast 5 years I was always guessing that someday they would cut up a Wagner

    Wow, a good ol' Sidd Finch picture on the 22nd anniversary! SI had us all fooled on that one. For any of the younger folks who have never heard of the Sidd Finch article - look it up. Legendary SI spoof....

    << <i>The subhead of the article read: "He's a pitcher, part yogi and part recluse. Impressively liberated from our opulent life-style, Sidd's deciding about yoga —and his future in baseball." The first letters of these words spell out "Happy April Fools Day." >>
