What the ? Did Topps really make this?

Looks to be a real Topps card and not just a photoshop job. What the heck?

    Yes Topps made that card.

    You can order Topps cards with any of your own photos and Topps will make it for you. All the guy did was order a bunch of this card, signed his name, numbered them, and now selling them. How goofy and a bit under handed.

    Just go to the Topps website and you can find the details for getting these cards with your own picture.

    Clever, and likely ordered by Fromong or his pals from the TOPPS-vanity offering.

    The seller is EBAY-registered in Las Vegas.

    I've got one of those as a curiousity in my signed rookies thread.

    Yep, as the others indicated, you can purchase cards like that through Topps website. I had 75 sets or so of these done recently for another board I participate on.

    No, and quite honestly I think it's pretty cruel for Mike to keep rubbing it in my face.

    If I ever sent my photo into Topps, I sure as heck wouldn't choose "87 Topps wood grain background" for my card design. WTF Paul Foley?

    I'd definitely ask for some OPC stock and give them to all my friends so they'd have to complain about chipping and centering issues.
