why would a company hack up a card like this?

I do not know, there are several for Dawson from this set and most of them look bad because it is just a cut up card glued into another card. I got this one for the inscription.

Great stuff!!

Hate to simultaneously be the bearer of bad news, but the 2005 Finest "blank back" is a fake/scam.

Sellers have done the same with many different chrome/foil sets. All you have to do is dip the card in boiling water, and the foil separates from the cardboard.

Did it myself a couple of years ago with a Bowman Chrome card.

It is okay, I only paid a few bucks for it, but I do appreciate the information as I have never heard of this technique. I mean who thinks to put a baseball card in a boiling pot of water lol! I think the Dawson Finest looks awesome with the silver back and the exposed embossment.

LOL! I plan on doing some scanning tomorrow night.

I knew Craig from The bench. I was sad to see him liquidate the collection, as with any long time, passionate collection that gets broken up, but I will admit that I bought several dozen items from the break myself.

Mostly oddball and some non-certified cards/stickers, etc.

ChasHawk said:

Craig sold out when his kid was born. I bought a lot from him but not as much as I wanted too.

Do you have any interest in this one?

Hey guys, a few years ago I bought some non certified autos in a lot mainly for the Yankees. In it were others players. I am assuming they were ttm. The Yankee autos look good. I wanted to know if this auto looks good to you?
