thank you for sharing this info and pics
as i have stated for the longest time, many auction houses are up to no good
they sell far to many bogus cards that 'seem' to graded but are not, often they reuse the same number over and over again
not to mention cases with clear signs of tampering
even heritage sells more fake junk now than ever before
at one time noone would believe it, until i made my PSA about them and then they remove more items from one auction then they have in the previous 5 auctions combined
coaches corner and all their ilk are still in business
now you just need to tell us who sent this to you so we can watch them moe closely and examine the junk they sell

Now who can argue with that? I think we're all indebted to Gabby Johnson for clearly stating what needed to be said. I'm particulary glad that these lovely children were here today to hear that speech. Not only was it authentic frontier gibberish, it expressed a courage little seen in this day and age.

Mike Johnson is right about Gabby Johnson being right

I keep checking this thread to see what awesome creation Mike will stick in the holder. I wonder if a PSA 11 UD Randy Johnson really is coming.

I didn't even pay attention, as I was too shocked when the cards were packed this way to notice that it's a Goudey-sized slab.

The positive is that it's perfect to slab the legendary and rarely seen regional 1989 Randy Johnson Topps Pop-Ups test issue. Only Johnson, then a no name rookie, and 13 other players were was released, and only in the Great Lakes area.

Rumor has it that Sy Berger took some Japanese tourists out on a Midwestern whale hunting excursion in Lake Michigan when their vessel ran into the newly commissioned USS Upper Deck. The UD's captain, a terrible drunk, and was intoxicated while coming on to all of his female (and long haired male) sailors. In his stupor, the boats collided, spilling all cargo and these cards drifted ashore.

The morning after, Chicago beachgoers stepped over swollen, dead carp and soaked 800ct boxes of Ken Griffey rookies (presumably from the USSUD cargo hold) and unearthed this then unknown test issue.

Odd history aside, Im fully aware that the PSA 11 won't be as valuable as it's such a rare issue, it still deserves rock solid encapsulation. Encapsulation so strong and durable, it can even withstand talking loudly near it.
