A while ago I finished completing the 1999 UD 500 club a piece of history set. To me the set is amazing and I love looking at it everyday 
. In the last 10 years since they made the set they have added new additions of those player who made it to 500 except for 2 player :? , Barry Bonds and Alex Rodriguez. I know that Arod has a contract with Topps but come on im sure they could have worked something out with him by now and I am not sure why they never made a Bonds (Maybe for the same reason?). I found 2 replacement cards for Bonds and Arod but just dint feel or look the same not having those 2 guys with the same design and just dint seem right so I contacted 200lbhockeyplayer and he agreed to help me complete the set and today I recieved my 2 missing pieces.
Here is the Set:
If you notice the Bonds and Arod, even though they have the same bat pieces, just really did not look right with the rest of the group. So we (or Mike did
) took out the 2 bat pieces of the Arod and Bonds shown in the Frame and placed them in these 2 cards 
I have the Manny (Not pictured) and the Sheff incomming and once I get it in I will get a Much better pic with all of them together in order of Homers (Which will change again after this season). I got to really Thank 200lbhockeyplayer for getting this done for me as I know the guy is really busy and he still took the time to make it happen . So with out futher a do THANK YOU VERY MUCH MIKE!!!!!!!Have a good evening guys
Ps. And yes being that I have his work in hand he has to be the best Custom Maker around as these cards are perfect..
