George Weiss went a veteran too far when he passed over Maury Wills and selected Honus Wagner in the expansion draft, I thought.

I played in Pittsburgh, pitched several wonders I know to trip is just to fall I used to rock it, sometimes I'd roll it I always knew what it was for

I'm all for the fun of cards that never were, and other DIY stuff, but it does seem a bit out of control when the maker decides to have some fun by replacing a graded card, and do it up in a funky way.

Ummm, that's great, Steve. So, uhhh, what do you think should be done about this?

Gary Kolb. Love to hear HIS backstory.

[crossout:38zno4mw]LOL![/crossout:38zno4mw]...I mean HAHAHAHA (Google death of LOL for that)! Just tossing in my two cents about how silly that "graded" DIY Dock Ellis '75 Topps looks, and how it might fool a novice collector into thinking its a real one. Hence Jumping The Shark. ;)

That is true, but the graded aspect makes it seem like it could be legit. Hey there could be Dock Ellis/1970s Pirates/1975 Topps collectors that could think its a legit variant. You never know.

batmagadanleadoff Aug 14 2015 03:26 PM Re: Cards for Yinz

Well then lemme ask you another question: wby do you think that funky Dock is fake? Tbe serial # doesn't match the # on the PSA Dock you posted.

batmagadanleadoff Aug 14 2015 03:28 PM Re: Cards for Yinz

And if it is fake, then the novice cant buy it.

Ya' see ... that's why I asked you about 12 hours ago if anything needs to be done about this. Because if anyone's kneecaps need to be broken over funky DIY baseball cards, I'm right there with you. You just give me the word and I'll meet you with a coupl'a baseball bats and tire irons, and we'll go out and bust up some knees. And heads, too.

When you could only find one Met per pack, what a bonus to find incidental Mets on non-Mets cards.
