It's an abortion.
Every time I see one I cringe. The patch /5 were all ruined too.

It's the old Frank Thomas
They also screwed up the Chiro /75 of the same year

I can't tell if the Thomas sigs are stickers or not but do you think the old Thomas would've noticed a picture of a much younger black guy versus his own picture? Who can you really blame here IF that isn't a sticker auto?

 

[thefatguy]

They're stickers
same as the ugly silver griffey...all 20 copies (15 jersey, 5 patch) are like this to as far as I know....and 06 ultimate is littered with silver griffey autos too, except they got it right on this one...same set...must have been a different sticker picker...or a baseball fan

Ross. I'm going to pass on getting the Pam Am blue graded by PSA. Don't want to take a chance.

Not sure if you missed what he wrote, but you can submit it w/ a "10" minimum grade. That way, they won't crack it from the BGS case unless it's a 10.

 

[gofrankgo]

Saw what he said but my BGS is a 9.5 and a tad off center.

I already have a copy or two, so i'm good on that issue. That is a great price though & I'd bet $$ one of the guys here will take you up on that offer. Do you have a scan or pic you could post?

 

[BunchOBull]

PM sent about buy back. Thanks.

In the event that any of you guys are interested, I just listed the following Thomas auction for a very hard to find card (1995 Select AP superstar checklist card). Trying to make some $$ in order to buy some of Chad's cards on his website.

I would like to thank a couple of Frank Thomas collectors out there who bid this up higher than I could have imagined! I can't believe that it went for $105! It is more rare than the Pinnacle AP.......so I guess that is what might have drove it. What have you guys seen happen on this issue in the past on E-Bay?

 

[BunchOBull]

I understand the decision. They'll be other PSA 10s before it's over with.

 

[BunchOBull]

So, this isn't exactly Big Hurt related, but there is a connection.

-------

Some of your know that I found a sealed set of 1987 Auburn Tigers Greats a year ago and was shocked to see the only Bo Jackson card featured in the set had Bo in football gear. After doing more digging, I found that two different sets, with only slight differences, were released. It is the other set, presumably an earlier release, that includes Bo at bat. Slowly but surely I've been piecing together both sets, but I've certainly never seen a complete 1st series.

Fast forward. I recently came across one oddball item: an uncut sheet of '86-'87 UNC Tarheels basketball cards with 3 1st Series Auburn Tigers Greats...including Bo at bat.

Don't think I didn't do some digging to see if an uncut sheet with Big Frank existed with this item...sadly it didn't. Other than owning an uncut NNOF sheet, an '87 Auburn Greats with Big Frank is my dream uncut sheet.

The presence of the '86-'87 UNC team with these three Auburn cards further solidifies my belief that the Bo at bat set is a first series released in the spring of '87, and the set with Big Frank is a second series released in the fall of '87.

On a side note, notable names on the UNC squad include J.R. Reid and Jeff Lebo, Auburn's very own head basketball coach.
