Is this a steal of one of the poorest quality sets ever made?

Why is Mookie Wilson on Darryl Strawberry's card?
Strawberry was one of the most recognizable players in the game. How'd they screw that up?

Because if the extremely high quality of this product, I'm sure "strawberry" is the name of the dog.

No way a top notch premium product such as this one could make a mistake

The Henderson is accounted for, but if anyone is interested in any of the others, let me know. (Pending there arrival of course.)

Armstrong? No. He died a few years back.

You got it bud, real names-what are those on the internet?

I'd be interested in seeing the Mets cards, especially after how they butchered that Strawberry, haha

Hendersonfan · Jan 25, 2014

Glad you got it Neil. Thought he might have known the name from tour PayPal or corresponding. Tim is great to deal with.

I'll scan them when they come in.

The cards arrived and they did not disappoint. The backs are blank but I scanned them to show the poor paper quality that allows the ink to bleed through. (Actually, this set has gotten valuable enough that some people are copying it. If you have a copy with a pristine back, chances are it's a fake.)

Just PM me the details and we'll finish it up! Thanks Tim

Created a trade with details of the transaction.

The 1984 card stock is a nicer, glossy paper so the ink did not bleed through. The quality only goes so far though because it looks like the guy who created these cards took a picture of his dog, cut it out, taped it over each picture, then photocopied it.

I wonder why George Bell was featured with that stellar .268 AVG?

Dear lord. These get better every time I look at them

So I listed the Ripken on eBay for a high BIN/BO to see what kind of offers I would get and it was gone in around five hours after someone picked it up at three in the morning.

Topps should do a set called "Bootlegs" and copy some of the designs of unlicensed sets from the past. It is about the only retro gimmick they haven't used, and it's not like anyone would be able to attack them for stealing designs.

Funny, this would be my first recommendation:

Maybe it's just because I grew up in the 80's, but regional and unlicensed issues are some of my favorite from that era!

tpeichel · Jan 27, 2020

Should have invested in this set when we had the chance under $100.

If it sells, yes. I keep seeing a lot of 4-5 cards (Garvey it in, I think Griffey and Thomas too) and seller is asking $10K. It's probably a $10-15 lot at best. Just because they are asking it, doesn't mean it is worth it.

I kind of like those with the dog image on it. Same set or different, but similar set?
