President of Sportflics explained 1986 Robin Yount Error

[nborton]

Not sure the big deal, I picked one up on COMC for $20 last month.

btw, these are cheap now too

I wouldn't call a $200+ base Topps card cheap. Cheaper than it once was for sure.

I actually really care about this card. Deeply.

I figure, if I can get rich simply by purchasing this card, I won't have to waste all of my time placing tiny, little classified ads in newspapers across America. Then I'll have a yacht, a plethora of bikini vixens, a perm and a popped collar.

i have it on good authority you already have a perm.

People are viewing to see more of the roasting -- not to read up on this card.

I'm fairly sure this guy is the same guy that was trying to hype the packing damage card as "extremely rare". Just using a different screen name.

1jess1: We really, honestly and sincerely don't care. If you are looking to sell it - this is the wrong venue. I suggest you go back to Blowout forums, also.

Ok...

I get it, its a rare card. It might actually have value (for a collector of this set or player)

but who really gives a sssshit? THE CARDS ARE AN ABOMINATION. Just down right ass ugly...maybe thats why they fell of the face of the Earth...

When will this get locked is a better game. I give this post 5 pages. Anybody else want a guess?

hahah shhhh dont let him in on it, he really thinks all of these views are for this card. I love that now there was a mystery challenge that no one knew about and somehow its a "point"? Was anyone searching for a picture of this card?

Little known fact: this card isn't even an error. In 1986, Steinbrenner signed Yount to play for the Yankees, then fired him the next day and had the contract voided when Yount showed up with his **** star facial hair and perm.

Here's a picture, do I get a cookie?

If anyone really cares, SCD estimates less than 100 produced. A rare card, worth $200-$300. The original poster thinking a PSA8 grade would increase its value is mistaken. Sportflics are damn sturdy cards, an 8 would be the norm, 9's even likely. But aside from a 10, no premium over raw.

^-- **** just got real, y'all.

Seriously, now that we've had the pic posted can we get a "You make this thread, again, and you take a vacation." ?

Is it showing now? Worthpoint images don't always show to everyone. Moved it to my webspace.

And a teddy graham doesn't qualify as a cookie. I prefer soft-baked white chocolate macadamia, but I'll settle for a double stuff oreo.

Dude really.
Crap grade, on a Crap card produced doing the height of the over-produced card era. Who cares!

Maybe no one can produce a picture because no one here is stupid enough to "invest" in you "super rare" PSA8 garbage with 13 other on the POP report.

Do us all a favor and please go back to the blowout boards with the other "overly intelligent" collectors with no common sense.

Thank you very much. Someone finally posted a picture of this extremely rare error.

Are you speaking in 3rd person?

So, why the new username? What happened to the SUPER RARE crimped card? Man, you are such a dunce.

I think you should take your own advice.
Read this carefully.

We.
Don't.
Care.

That's the overwhelming opinion. It's been fairly clear throughout, but in case it hasn't, and this post isn't making it clearer for you, then I have absolutely no idea what to tell you. I applaud your dedication to bringing the truth to light on this long-overlooked travesty which is a blight on the history of our beloved trading card hobby. I can only hope you can channel this energy into a new endeavor, and truly bring life-saving information to a larger segment of the population when you return to your day job, investigating the birth of President Obama for Donald Trump.

Thanks, and have a nice day,
KC
