As an Ichiro collector I scan through newly listed items on eBay daily. Today this popped up-

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2016-Topps-Mint-Ichiro-Suzuki-Auto-1-1-65th-Anniversary-Transcendent-Party-/152404242203?hash=item237c002f1b:g:S4AAAOSwjDZYglcz

An Ichiro Topps Mint Auto #'d/55 originally. This one though was giving out at the Topps Transcendent party so they also stamped it a 1/1. This is crazy!!! :doh:

Your a card company. Why not just make a few new cards to give out?! I wouldn't even want that seems so bootleg

Topps is so far in the weeds with their online exclusives, stamps on stamps on stamps and prior year cards being inserted into current products. I'm so glad this doesn't impact my collecting habits.

I wish I had the ability to go back in time to fix all the things done wrong/lazy in the hobby.

Don't do that ! Then we would never hear from you again !

I suspect Topps didn't sell all 65 Transcendent boxes, and used the cards from whatever they didn't sell to hand out at the party. It probably would have been a better idea to use the unsold cards to fulfill old redemptions, but what do I know?

Yeah that is really weak. I like show-stamped cards and have a handful of the old Pacific & Donruss ones. But those actually have stamps related to the show. Just sticking a "1/1" on a card is lame and reminds me of those homemade "Gem Collection 1/1" stamp cards that Burbank has on ebay for $15 each. Boooo.

But then again stupid novelties are still novelties, and therefore still of some interest to me. But only for the right price. If Burbank was selling those Gem Collections for say $3, I'd pick one up for the hell of it. And if that Ichiro seller came down to what the normal cards are selling for, I bet somebody would pick it up too.
