The Official 2008 HERITAGE Buyback Contest

kmnorton · February 29, 2008 6:49AM

Up for grabs is a Eddie Matthews FB seat relic to the person with the best condition Buyback card from this year's 2008 Topps Heritage. The leaders/winner will be awarded by comments from people who think (without the gold foil stamp) a card would grade the highest. From what we've seen so far, the conditions are all over the place, including one cut in half. I am not the judge, just the moderator, so as the cards get posted, we can judge for ourselves.

This has to be cards you have pulled, rather than purchased (if you are doing the subset for some reason). I want to say the Heritage trading and purchasing season lasts about a month (taking into account Retail) after release, so what if we announce a winner on April 1st!!!

Kevin has also suggested a booby [sic] prize for the worst condition as well. Certainly open to that as well.

Here is the prize:

Here is my official entry (even has bubble gum residue on it)

I'm only offended that you took it down.

Here's the afore-mentioned half-card. At first, I thought Topps had played a cruel joke on me. Then I saw the card farther down in the pack.

What do I win ??

Had I not seen that half card, I would have thought the one I just "pulled" would have won the booby prize - it's one of the worst trim jobs I've ever seen in a card. If/when I figure out the whole posting a picture thing, I'll get a scan up - it's hacked on at least two, and maybe all four sides...

Well I guess since the worst card is pretty much a two man race right, not Ill have to bring my big guns to the table for the best
card...how about...Wally Post and his 130 HR's in only 9 years including a 40 homer year in 55?
