My kids call Shenanigans on Topps....something #'d to 10 there should ONLY be 10 produced / made / in existance RIGHT...... How do you make another print of the exact same card & then # that print run to 15 & another to 30 & another to 35 (WTF) ???? Am I & my kids are the only ones who see this ??? To me this is called a Sucker's Bet !!!!
Examples of what I'm talking about:
#'d to 10 ....

I showed this to my kids (10 & 12) & they asked...
(My 10 year old Daughter) "Are adults dumb enough to think one card is more valuable than the other even though they are the exact same card with just different serial numbering on it....I can't believe people get roped into this kind of stuff! How can you have 10 but 15, 30, & 35 more exist ???? THAT EQUALS 90 ALL DAY LONG !!!!
( My 12 year old Son) "If something is advertised as #1 & only 1.....and there is another exact same model of the exact same thing doesn't that mean there would be 2 ? This is basic children's arithmetic!!!"
If this is what we have to teach our children now days then NO WONDER our country is going down the drain....Hell my kids already struggle with the concept of going into a place to eat & they ask for a small order but they are told they don't serve small orders only medium & larges....then my kids ask how is that even possible (ROTFLMFAO) ....This is the same concept as the cards above...
I told them lets just post this & you'll see someone out there will try to defend or justify this way of thinking.....Let the comments & replies begin.....................Like the game show: Are you smarter than a 5th grader???
