Real or Fake???

[josh3302]

I have a feeling this is fake. The guy says in his description that Topps had to pull the plug on this. And then on the back of the card, it doesn't have the 5 letter code on the back which Upper Deck put on the back for their former Upperdeckids website. So this shoud be a fake right?

looks fake but the only reason it wouldn't have the upper deck kids code is that it wasn't meant to be put on the market

But in his description it says that they were in the process of making them because they were supposed to be inserted into the product. But then they were told to stop making them and they put the ones they already had made into the product. So technically it should since they were made for the product

That's clever for UD to "leak" it.

However, I'm just curious as to who put the sharpied * on the card. Probably a UD rep, I'd think?

Guess I've never seen this: * before. Is that really collectible I ask myself. The bidders apparently think so. .....Strange.

It is very much real. Our very own Skywalker pulled one back on the BMB.

This is a very rare card that defines an era in baseball. Regardless of who signed it, 100 years from now (if baseball still exists), this card will be much sought after.

It amazes me what people don't know / aren't aware of when it comes to their hobby.
