Still out there in a box.
It's currently in the hands of a now-15 year old young man in Abilene Texas, who pulled it from a pack at his local card shop three years ago.
The card is currently tacked to his bulletin board in his room where he can admire it from time to time, because "it looks cool".
That's as good an explanation as any other.

It has been pulled, sold to a collector in a private transaction, and is sitting in that collector's collection who wants nobody but his closest friends to know about it. And we probably won't see it this generation, unless the guy is hard up for some cash. In other words, he's Wossaing Wossa.

I bet its just in a box sitting around a shop, storage, or in a case someone is sitting on.

its one of the most speculated things in the whole hobby.
sure, it could have been pulled by a kid, but odds are kids who know very little about baseball wouldnt have bought a prospecting product to begin with, but instead a base topps/ud product with Pujols or Griffey on the cover.
I hear theres about 10-20 of the 06B still out there. so odds are it could very well still be in one of those packs. I tend to think it is.
It would be cool to do a "search effort" with everyone buying a box(/case) and busting it on a certain day. maybe we could knock that 10-20% to 5-10% remainder.

Close...it is pulled and sitting in a collection. Not everyone who busted that product is a FCB or BMB member. It's existence is not necessarily a secret.
I heard they were going to make a "Lord of the Rings" type trilogy about what it would be like if it was found...

I would like to hear more on this claim. It's been published in multiple magazines and across multiple sites/blogs. I am guessing if it was "not necessarily a secret" then more information would have been divulged.

How does someone calculate the 10-20% number? It doesn't seem possible...even more so when you consider the number of cases that go overseas.
Ever think it might be sitting in Twain in a collection?

Could also be overseas. I know shops in Japan have pulled some nice cards.

thats just a rough estimate of the numbers people are throwing around. it seems about right but I have 0 clue.
good question, I would like to see someone with some math skills tackle it and make a sharper estimate than mine.

It's actually a not so well-known fact that the 2006 Bowman Chrome Draft Evan Longoria superfractor was an error card.
Topps accidentally replaced a photo of Longoria with a picture of an unknown minor league prospect from the Pirates organization, and it turns out, Topps actually got one of their employees to sign the card. Apparently, the prospect has even less hope of actually making it to the majors, though no one is really sure where he is at this time.
Now, presenting for the first time ever, the granddaddy superfractor of them all:
The 2006 Bowman chrome draft Evan Longoria superfractor auto 1/1 ERROR card!
should I ask topps for a replacement? really, i'll even take a non-error Longoria red auto /5 for it. Darn Topps!

I did find two different responses in two different blogs stating that the card has been pulled, and the guy is keeping it in his collection. Granted, one of the responses claims it was on ebay at one time, so I doubt the legitimacy of that one.
