It Just Arrived!! Can You Say HUGE Bug?

[goldenegg1]

Well, here it is!
As some of you may know, I won this over at Upper Decks Facebook page last week.
This is such an amazing card! So torn over whether to keep it or sell it though.

This shows how thick the card is:

This shows how big the card is:

Thanks for those scans! i didn't realize the card was so damn gigantic!

Also, Dell 4 Life.

Dude, unless you collect bugs... sell that sucker!

 

[Bob Loblaw]

That's more of a plaque than a card...

Whatever you end up doing, you should email Ultra-Pro and ask them if they've got a magnetic one-touch that fits that thing. :lol:

:lol: So true.

On a side note: That's my biggest pet peeve in collecting. I hate not have a standard thickness of cards other than standard-non relic cards. It seems like I never have the right top loader on hand.

awesome card... but SELL

 

[nborton]

What's the window made of?

 

[matchpenalty]

I'd keep it. Very cool looking card and you got it as a prize.

 

[Lally1]

Sell that thing man..

Agreed. I cant even call that a card.

I don't think the card companies realize what the can do with a card like this.Can you imagine the kind of memorabilia that could be placed into these cards?You could take the skin from a baseball and put it in there or the nameplate from a jersey.How much cooler would the Lettermen?The card is like a mini shadow box.

I don't understand why other members' posted on here that they were forced to take ****** replacements for their bug redemptions when UD had extras to give away?

I don't understand why other members' posted on here that they were forced to take shatty replacements for their bug redemptions when UD had extras to give away?

I don't think they offered replacements for these yet.
Are you sure you aren't thinking of the bonus items being sent out for the wait on the Mystery Cuts?

It is like a hard plastic.

I was thinking the same thing here.
How cool would a bat barrel in these shadowboxes be?

I would like a set of World Series Press Pins.That would pretty cool.

wow, that is a monster, my butterfly was in a standard size case, but also just as thick.
I got 166.00 for it, so that might do even better.
