I went to my local shop today and the owners were telling me that somebody pulled the card from their shop.

Has anybody else heard about this card being pulled yet?

I am working on getting more information about when and who it was, assuming that it was pulled there.

Thats what I thought too, and I even brought that up in conversation...but I am not one to agrue, i just listened and wanted to address the board. With all the knowledge available here, I figured I would find an answer.

I asked if maybe he pulled a different wood mini of another Nationals player...they said it was Strasburg.

Seems pretty clear cut that if a shop owner is telling you that it was pulled, then it was pulled. As a shop owner, he clearly should know what an A&G card is, and the difference between a base mini and a wood. So, the only 2 options I can think of is that...

A. It was pulled and does exist.
B. He was lying/kidding.

Always cool hearing wild stories being told at LCS. Topps has said Cashburg has nothing besides a base mini card. No plates, 1/1, bazooka ect.

If one does exist, that card would sell for mega $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, and your local Hobby dealer would make big news reporting this.

The only thing I can think of it that a customer pulled it at home, thought it was a wood and called the shop to let them know. And the LCS owner may not know the wood does not exist and just reported what he was told. Or.... There is a wood, and it was pulled. We NEED more info asap!

I have been shopping here for years, and I would NEVER suspect either owner lying to me. Thats why I believe it may have been a different player.

Topps said Stras had no parallels in A&G.

Either:
a) Topps is lying
b) the shop owner is lying
c) the person who pulled it is lying
d) the OP is lying

Or any combination of the above.

I pull my wood at home all the time. But I surely don't call anyone and tell anyone about it. :D

What would I have to gain by lying about this? Thats a dick remark. I have stated myself that I believe it was a different player and that this is a mix up.
