    << <i>hype >>



    Exactly!! I do not know the details though, did they pull this card early in production or are there a ton of them out there??
  • Its just Upper Decks way of copying what Topps has been doing for the past couple of years now.
  • We'll probably see every single product each company produces come out with some BS like this so they can sell their product. People will buy anything if they think they can make some big money.

    so basically, the card is worth this much right now but once the election is over the card will be worth nothing??
  • Not really, the election is giving it some hype, but Upper Deck is saying that very few got into circulation. There might be one or 2 per case or it might only be in the retail blasters or something but there are alot more out there than you would think. Right now people are buying in to UDs story and it the market is reacting. It does not help Ebay is listing this card on its home page as a "rare" card. That is drawing in non-collectors and driving the price up even more.

  • This is just crazy! image

    I heard it got pulled due to the contraversy surrounding the picture of her kissing the player. Supposedly, it is demeaning and not very presidential. Especially, when compared to the cards with the male candidates.

    That means this is the next T206 Wagner? image
  • Damn for that price I just might have to buy a couple blasters. That's nuts!!! Obviously hype created by UD, but the fact remains, that card is currently worth what it's selling for, which is big$.

    I wonder if all that hype ebay is also doing about this would make non-collectors come to ebay to buy/invest in Baseball cards in general. Thats a big step for ebay to list it on their home page and use the words Baseball Cards, lol.

    Good thing they didn't mention Basketball cards image

  • It would be quite funny if UD actually didn't pull this card from production (or supremely exaggerated the rareity) and soon we'll see thousands. Those people who spent $1000+ would be pulling out their hair!!! Hey, I'd never buy that card for the price, but you can bet that I'd have no problem selling it for that much, lol.
