Frank Thomas Rated Rookie? Former Donruss Employee Confirms Existence.

I can see them on your site but not on FCB.

My pics are hosted on Photobucket and they show up here.

Thanks! I don't know why - you are not the only one that has said that. Maybe the FCB app doesn't like externally hosted pics? Can you see them on my blog at www.tanmanbaseballfan.com ?

Yep they show there just fine and I must say that site in general looks great on mobile so I suppose I should check that out more often

It's funny that you posted this custom...I just got these back from the printer last week:

I love that the one guy on BO got angry that this fake article was posted. lol

 

[mouschi]

Can't please everybody, I guess!

This story is a good 15 days ahead of its' time.

I thought the same thing (after I looked at a calendar and counted out the days)!

 

[A_Pharis]

I'm a tad confused, someone explain.

Although this was very well written and believable, is it really smart for people to start posting fake articles like this all over the message boards?

It's bad enough April 1st comes around and everyone does it, but at least that is April 1st.

Not sure this is the right place for this article, as well written as it was.

What a wet blanket.

I like the looks of this Rate Rookie Frank Thomas better...except for the 2014 copyright.

MeadowbranchJulio - Done! Still wild about your name. Hilarious

Since BunchOBull added his, I really wanted redo the back of mine to make it look proper. I got REALLY tired at around 3am when I was finishing up and the back of the card was the last thing to do. It is now uploaded and shown in the original post.

I appreciate the copyright; I'd rather it say "1990 LEAF, INC." as well, but looking forward to future generations of collectors, and knowing that these cards will be out in the hands of many before it's over, I thought it best to make note that these are indeed custom to avoid future confusion.
