1989FleerBillRipkencollector

Joba Chamberlain Yankess pitching Rookie #UH312 has a reverse negative and corrected. Hmm happens to be one of the best cards in the set....

hmm, strange how that happens

Looks there are two more "rare" cards that Topps has included. Your Yankee set won't be complete without this integral part of the team (card number is SQ1):



There's also a UH100 variation - listed as Abraham Nunez on the checklist, but this one is supposed to be super SPed:



Here's a pic of the Jobas that 1989FBRc mentioned:

I was kind of surprised with this Chamberlain business. I bought a Jumbo box today and got two copper cards, one of them Chamberlain. I have to go check to see what it is, left handed, Astros, etc. Either way, might have taken a sting out of the purchase price of the box. That and a printing plate.

Rare Checklist Variants Discovered in Topps Update
Oct 31 2007 2:12PM


Beckett Baseball Price Guide Editor, Brian Fleischer is reporting that New York dealer Ted Straka, of TNT Sportscards, has discovered two previously unannounced cards in the recently released 2007 Topps Update product.

The preliminary checklist catalogs card #100 as Philadelphia Phillies third basemen Abraham Nunez. While Nunez is indeed card #100, Straka pulled a Jacoby Ellsbury card featuring the MLBPA Rookie Logo which is also card #100.

In addition, Straka pulled a "Poley Walnuts" card #SQ1 featuring the squirrel that became famous for routinely appearing on the Yankee Stadium right field foul pole throughout the 2007 season.


Both cards appear to be extremely difficult pulls, with odds possibly comparable to the 2006 Topps shortprint releases of Alay Soler, card #RC1 and the infamous Alex Gordon release, card #297.

To date, Straka and his team of employees have busted 10 hobby and 10 jumbo cases and have only pulled one example of each card.

Dont think this one was corrected or intentional.

Great, thought my Topps addiction was done for the year.

stopped off at lunch and picked up a hobby box and a jumbo box.

Now I just want to leave work and get cracking

Do baseball cards have anything to do with baseball anymore? If you guys keep buying this crap, they're gonna keep making it. That's all I'm gonna say.

Eventually the chase cards will be actually getting a baseball card.

That Walnuts card is going for over $20++ on ebay, someone even has a BIN of $199.00.

Lots of other rookies, didn't get the damn squirrel though.
