When you gotta go, you gotta go

                           
Imagine being selected for the Hall of Fame in your chosen sport, and a card company decides to honor that achievement by producing something with this card number...

Hopefully it was just an oversight, and not an opinion of his worthiness on Upper Deck's part. 

On the positive side though , I guess he should be thankful that it wasn't one of those nickname cards :)

    1. Agreed. I really dislike card numbers that aren't composed of actual numbers.

  5. Oh, Upper Deck! I've seen some cards pop up during COMC challenges with comical "numbering" and thought about doing a blog series about them. But then I'd have to stop the challenge to screenshot each card.

    1. I've got a few saved to a folder, all of which have been found while doing the challenges. I don't have enough for a series, but am gonna try to share a few more of them at some point.

  6. Knowing Upper Deck it was probably deliberate.

  7. Hah! Good eye, Jon. But wait. If the insert set is called "Induction Inks", why wouldn't the card number be II-SS? I guess we wouldn't have the joke, then ;-)
