Name the single stupidest thing you have ever seen in a card set

[dp33]

I would have to vote for the Triple Threads relic cards that spell out goofy phrases. 2012 seems to take the cake:

Evan Longoria - "NOT EVA"C.J. Wilson - "RED GLOVE"
Pablo Sandoval - "SWITCH HIT AND THROW"
David Price - "COLD AS PRICE"

I could go on and on.

Can someone explain the back story here? This just looks hillarious! LOL

The first two were value guarantees. If you built a set, Topps would buy it back a year later for 150 dollars. It was them attempting to force secondary market value for their products (and probably the reason why they now make NO guarantee of future value).

The second was a hit in Pack Wars. That product was built with a "hit" pack that the winner of pack wars, using the other packs, won and got to open. A straight up gambling product and not even hiding the fact.

So the "hit" pack had a $100 bill in it? LOL, so you just tear the card and keep the cash? Wow is all I have to say lol

$100 was the best prize in the packs I believe. Most were MUCH less.

Allen & Ginter had that dog paw pint on a card. There's one listed aith a $249 BIN. I think they also did something like a truck tire mark? I see some of the stupidest $#@*! come out of Ginter. One man's opinion... save the flames!

I pulled both of those. I sold the dog for $550 and the monster truck for $200. I loved the final price but they were very stupid.

I was going to say that. I also considered the scout autos too. But, how about Mascot cards in Topps Opening Day? Lip print cards by Divas in WWE, and for the love of God why would anyone want JFK's hair? That's too creepy.

The stupidest is a jersey card saying it's not from any game, event, collector's closet, Goodwill or Barry's garage ...

Otherwise, everything is basically covered, MINUS the Gypsy Queen Queen auto's ... or w/e they were. Meh ...

Or sell it on ebay for more than 100. I for one hope these have been left intact as a brief glimpse of truthfulness in sports cards.

Surprised this one hasn't been mentioned yet.

I actually like some of the ginter stuff. It's oddball for sure but it's kinda cool at the same time. My favorite thing is its relegated to one product so you can kinda get away from it easily If you don't like it or get tired of it. I think there might be a few oddball type things in heritage and gypsy queen too.

But things like the scout autos have like zero value to collectors. Oddball is one thing. These are a whole other level of oddball though.

I dont mind some of the crappy 90's designs

Better to get those out of the way so we can get to the better ones quicker

Dumbest thing I've ever seen on a card is Kim Kardashian's stupid face.

I pulled one of those from a pack and threw it. I was like who the F does this? a freaking revolving door are you serious

These are great! Keep em coming!

Cards of Topps employees are fairly asinine. Also, the card of the fake 2008 Japanese prospect in Topps was pointless.

His name was matsuzaka and I think it was 07..

Does packaging count? How about cards that were packaged in cans?

I remember those!I bought a couple of those Pinnacle cans that had some player printed on them.Weren't there some limited edition card inside them that had some coin in them?
