The name is right on the card!!!

Johnny Pap Butchered

Could Papelbon's name be misspelled any worse? I mean Papelbon is spelled out right on the card AND the PSA flip. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things of course, but as a copywriter, this type of stuff just jumps right out at me. Ay caramba!
"My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    I was looking at the card for a PSA Type-O......P-A-E-L-P-O-N. Must be the new stuff they are teaching in our schools these days. Just like 2+2 may equal 5.

    The card is also the very expensive "Refracton" parallel
    I collect Vintage Cards, Commemorative Sets, and way too many vintage and modern player collections in Baseball (180 players), Football (175 players), and Basketball (87 players). Also have a Dallas Cowboy team collection.

    He is charging $6.50 for shipping, and I just KNOW he is going to send it unprotected in a regular envelope!!! And of course he will spell my address wrong anyway, so I think I will avoid this tempting offer.

    It used to bother me when Mark McGwire cards were hot People would, and still do, spell it McGuire. I emailed a guy about it one timeseveral years ago. It must have pissed him off pretty good because he got my contact info off Ebay and tried to call me.
    It's the same with people selling Camaro stuff. Do a search for Camero. There was one auction for a Camaro emblem and it was still spelled wrong.
