Duelling Autos: 2008 Upper Deceased Legendary Cuts

Wonder who got to this one first?

Shoot, John. I'll just use what's left...nice comeback Russ, trying to match the scale of his HOF co-signer

Outside the Boxes: Gold, Jerry.

I am not sruprised that a Diamond King got slightly off path on its way to a binder I have yet to set up, but a Sweet Spot Classics Gaylord Perry auto? ok. no clue how that got in there. I definitely pulled it because I found some SSClassic base in a different box a while back.
Never really had a feeling about Perry either way. This Sig looks like it is from a ball where the curvature of the sphere often warps the way a hand pens a name. I personally am not so sure the man was looking at the scrap he was signing, but he signed a lot of stickers et al. for UD in the 00's, and I have another one I like much more. If you have a preference for this card, get in touch.

Why did I put these two together, why gold, of course. Kevin Mitchell made it big after he left the mets organization and hade a short spurt of fame with the Giants. enough go gold fo one tooth. Maybe it is his most important tooth? Anyway, funny I was reading a post on gold over at dinged corners just this morning...and this post was already in the chamber...

Outside the Boxes: Worst Buyback Ever...

...found this in a box of 06 upper deck, if I remember correctly, some years ago. It is one of two buybacks I have gotten unexpectedly(err) out of hobby packs. The other one was also from the Upper Deck company but was actually manufactured by them (which is more than I can say about this little beauty).
It's hard to tell how off-center this card is, and I didn't want to make it all worse by ing Walt's mediocre stats. Mostly I feel sorry for the person (ahem, machine) who had to take the time to pair this card with a card that even has the balls to mention "pleasure" and seal it in cellophane.

Oh, and why OPC? why 88OPC? I mean this card was the opposite of fun to pull.

some trades should be arriving before too long, and I can't wait to write a trade posts. God knows I've read enough. (Beardy I'm lookin at you, keep up the good work)

Outside the Boxes 2: odd things on cards

Here we have a Chrome Checklist with a "protective film on it, yeah, ok. Also we see a checklist decoy, that is actually a television schedule for the doomed league. Lastly we have dude Bucky over here. I want postulations on why Bucky's finger is in his mouth. (You can't use peanut butter or boo-boo because those were my first two)

There is some s**t in this ole box. more to come...

Outside the boxes 1: Eagles Star RB Brian Westbr

Hey Peterson nice #/50 parallel of Brian...uh...

Ok, wow. I didn't even know they had photoshop for real life...errrrrrrr. How do you miss the letter blocks for part of the name on the front?
