My new favorite Topps Heritage item..... (tease)

mudflap02 · Oct 8, 2013

....is sitting at my house right now. I'll put pics up later tonight. I say pics, because it won't fit on my scanner.

I have never seen anything like it before or since. I have no details about it. Apparently it was acquired at a garage sale in Arizona. It is real and it's spectacular.

You are a mean, mean, person.

So when do you plan on being home to get us pics of the item?

mudflap02 · Oct 8, 2013

Leaving the office in 5, pics up in an hour or so.

Looking forward to it, Jeff.

A buddy of ours picked up something significant recently as well. I'm sure he'll show it off soon.

I'm guessing... uncut sheet.

Can't wait

Display signage of some sort, or extra large card?

His quote saying...

Makes me believe it cant be something as common as a uncut sheet.

EDIT: I stand corrected....

Smart guys on here.

These are 2009 Real One autograph uncut sheets. They are blank on the back, and hand cut. There are some creases and a couple corners are hit pretty hard. They have some paper loss on the back, indicating they may have been mounted or displayed at some time.

What's crazy about these is that they include a number of cards that were never released.

Ron Jackson, Bobby Thomson, Ernie Johnson, George Strickland, Chuck Tanner, Tom Acker, Al Grunwald, Ray Narleski, Jerry Davie, Sparky Anderson, Humberto Robinson, Henry Mason, Zack Monroe, and Fred Kipp 2009 real one autos are being seen here on FCB for the first time.

A number of the duals were never released as well. Harshman/Carmona (redemption card, not honored), Lee/Carmona, Strickland/Carmona (never on the checklist), and Jackson/Masterson (never on the checklist) are also being seen here for the first time.

I was floored when I saw this, and I will probably end up framing them behind some UV glass to put in my card room. I asked the seller if he was able to get similar sheets from other years, and he said he had just picked this up at a garage sale. Hoe these rare items wound up at a garage sale in Arizona, then into my collection in only 4 years is amazing to me. I think if we can track down where these originated, we may be able to finally lay eyes on unsigned 2001 Mathews and Doby Heritage cards.

Thanks for looking!

Wow! Yeah the fact that it's not only autos but some unreleased subjects... that's very nice.

ThoseBackPages · Oct 8, 2013

VERY NICE!

i dont know how the sheets get out there, short of Topps sending you them

josephcb09 · Oct 8, 2013

Very interesting find Jeff.

The unreleased cards are cool but I can't help but wonder why the back would be blank. It doesn't make much sense.

I didn't know Buddy Gilbert had any cards, he only played like a week at most in the majors, but damn is he one of the nicest guys I've ever met!

RStadlerASU22 · Oct 8, 2013

Nice and I'm sure they fit great into your collection. The 97 Score Red Stand And Deliver Framed Set I bought, it came from a seller who found it at a flea market for $15. So you never know where some of the rare stuff is hiding
