    << <i>You may be wondering...where did you get this RARE, *HOT* card from? I discovered Ron in a box of cards in my basement and then took a pen and colored the border blue, making it a 1/1... which is denoted under Ron's ass. Which i also wrote with the pen. Sadly, the pen did run out of ink...however, I will finish the border once payment is made via paypal. I swear! You should also know that Ron had 248 strikeouts in 1978...much more than Strasburg has. I will ship card in screw-down case for protection and put culk around the edges so its totally waterproof if you leave it in your pocket and go swimming or something like that. If you have any questions...just stop thinking and buy this RARE *HOT* 1/1 >>

    Are you allowed to say 'ass' in an eBay description? image

    Yeah, every once in a while I love seeing sarcastic fake auctions like that. And I too was shocked that you could say ASS in an ebay auction.

    he is actually correct in saying that it is a 1 of 1. Love that auction. If he would have placed it at 9.99, someone may have bid on it just for fun. Not me, but maybe someone else with a sense of humor

    While I did find the auction funny, the basic metality behind the auction is somewhere between ignorance and complete lack of understanding of reality around us.

    While his starting bid is fair, his s/h is outrageous, so I refuse to bid

    Q: I'm so upset that you will only sell to those in the USA, I was really interested in this ultimate 1/1 blue border card and thought it would be great to have over in the UK.. oh well I am sure I can find another 1/1 Jun-14-10
    A: Dont feel comfortable shipping over the ocean.


    Q: This is an amazing card. Would you consider ending the auction early for a case of Budweiser and a picture of Derek Jeter on rollerskates ? Jun-14-10
    A: Sorry brohan...Pabst is the only way I roll.


    Q: When do you expect the blue border to be finished? Thanks. Brent Jun-13-10
    A: I am bidding on a pen currently and hopeful to win the auction!


    Q: Your my hero! This is so awesome! Jun-13-10
    A: Awesome Yes! Hero...well lets leave that to Chuck Norris!

    When I saw this auction, I said to myself "Self, this is pretty funny.....Almost as funny as the 1/1 Guidry but not quite." So, in the spirit of the infamous 1/1 88 Topps blue pen border Ron Guidry, I give to you........ The Strasburg Uberfractor

    And if anyone can explain to me how to do links here, that would help the old man out alot too.
