These retail repack GU'ed cards are such junk!

I can't believe the company that makes this repacked junk actually trimmed this card.. there are probably still millions of clean copies out there to use! they did a great job with it as well!

sadly there is enough of a market for this other-wise they would not be making them.

this is true player collectors will buy them. Eventually I will pick the variations up just to have them but the logic of trimming an 88 topps card escapes me completely. its not like its a T206 or something.. I mean can you really not find at least another million mint copies of that card to use?

im guessing they buy in mass junk bulk lots to cut down on costs. since their putting it in another card and the fact that not the smartest of collectors are buying these "packs" they prolly dont need the card to be even in decent condition
im guessing they didnt trim it themselves, but got it that waie

I bought two and got two patches. One was an Eddie Murray (and it really does look vintage/used since the edges of the patch have wear to them). The other was a Jeff Bagwell half-logoman.

I wonder what box that's in.

What a pompous comment coming from such a simpleton.

I dont think it's trimmed. Just looks like it's in the larger card crooked... it probably can shift around like the Allen & Ginter mini cards?

I got one in a mixed lot of retail to open this past Christmas, pulled a neat looking copy with what I think is a collar stitching:

TBTwinsFan · Jun 27, 2010

I am missing the point here... what is so wrong with them? I pulled a few nicer ones, including one that was a garunteed LeBron James highschool basketball floor piece. They are worthless base cards and they are giving them a little value back buy framing them with a jersey

Halonut · Jun 27, 2010

i have a tim salmon gu jersey which was a throw in on an ebay transaction...it's actually pretty cool and the card is not trimmed as noticeably as those above due to the fact that it is a border-less card (1994 fleer roy insert)

Lars · Jun 27, 2010

It is probably someone [making minimum wage] with no idea of the value of junk-wax era trading cards putting those cards into those 'GU' frames.

My LCS just sold a Mantle one like these on ebay, it had a grey flannel GU piece..I just looked, it sold for $29.

jeff550 · Jun 27, 2010

got this

dont know if you can see in the scan, but there is a dirt stain on the swatch

bongo870 · Jun 27, 2010

I dont think they are junk. I bought quite a few of them myself: (packs that is) I had alot of fun opening all the free packs that came with them too.

TBTwinsFan · Jun 28, 2010

Have them signed. That would be COOL!
