B. HEAGY LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO LOL LOL

Now that was funny

3arod13 I can see your gripe on this one but honestly is it really that bad let me explain why I am saying this.
The condition of the leather is dirty,toned, and the Mantle Autograph is fading.

I am sure you would like to preserve the autograph the way it is but in all reality after about 10 more years the Mantle autograph probably won't even be that noticable.

a nice example from Topps' "Which of these doesn't belong?" line. i've got the "nolan ryan/steve carlton/david wells" card.

that looks like pure crap

[AWA85]

Talking about fading, can a baseball signature stay crisp 30 years or more later? I keep all my baseballs out of light and in cases but can the signature stay close to the same?

If I still collected cards and pulled that one - I would be happy that I could at least trade it or sell it quickly. It still has value, and is not something you see every day.

I see what Topps was doing, but honestly, I have seen FAR worse things get pulled from packs...like this turd:

BIGTRUCK THATS NOT A TURD, THATS THE ASTERIK ON BARRY BONDS HOME RUN BALL LMAOOOOOOOOO

The whole limited edition/hand-numbered thing is pure stupidness to begin with. Topps destroyed yet another perfectly good artifact by ripping it apart and squashing the sigs of two roid-era players who have nothing to do with Mantle onto it. They're doing us a favor by limiting this crap to 1.
