I assume that it originally came from the Topps vault, but I've never seen any other promo cards that were so small...

About 10 years ago, someone (or group of people) cut these images (all years) from the Topps Sets Book (the one that show every Topps Baseball Card issued up to that point)... then pasted, re-cut & then the bogus stamp on back.

I doubt anyone here will fall for such a scam.

listed on page 423 in the 2008 SCD, no value.

Homemade from pictures cut from books etc.

I wonder if the people that did that didn't write copyright T.G.C. on it for fear of being sued. I don't think "The Topps Company" was ever the name for Topps, was it? Someone please do correct me if I'm wrong.
