help with an obscure card

[aekdb535]

While I've collected Galarraga for awhile now, I cannot consider myself an expert on his earlier stuff. Anyone have any additional information on this card/set?

It's a modern custom. Check out his other items. This is the same person who does all the modern ZeeNut issues (check his completed listings) or knows the person who makes them. Very nice pieces, I just can't justify paying what he wants for them. A few dollars less, maybe, but they can't have been cheap to make.

Funny that it says "Hard to Find" in the listing, when the creator is listing them.

There are a few different guys doing this now. F them and their "cards"

That's how lots of people feel about Topps these days.

I thought this was hilarious from one of the other aliases selling these cards:

Without realizing it, from 1988-1990, I was making my own "proofs" as I was filling my Topps sticker books!


So are these all the same seller?

Thanks guys, I knew someone would be able to educate me.

Looks like the seller might have yet another alias:

wylarcollectibles

Now selling an interesting new custom set he's calling "Red Diamond Millhouse".

Ah, found another alias for this guy:

finest-cards

Selling "2" x 3.5" Pesque Hueso Cerveza" cards that are modeled after 1974 Topps.

I admit they are neat cards. And no redemptions. But I wish they were a little more forthcoming with the facts about them. I guess admitting they made them at kinko's would open them up to copyright infringement or something.
