2008 Topps Yabuta card

So I hear a lot of mixed reaction over the latest Topps sport print cards. Then I go out and pull one. I got the Yabuta card out of a pack

I did a quick check on ebay and find that there's not a single one of those listed. Are they that rare or do people just dislike the short prints that much?

Is it a numbered card within the 660 card set?

No, this is one of the five "foreign player" cards. I think there's one guy from Cuba and two from Japan. I think Fokudome is one of them. It is an unnumbered short print insert that was never announced to the public until they showed up in packs.

I pulled the Al Gore card and would have tossed it out if it hadn't turned out to be one of those "rare" inserts.

Since there's none on Ebay right now, it might be a good time to list it.

Did you check completed auctions for that card?
