Every card company has made their share of dumb cards over the years, but to my knowledge, none of them have ever publically admitted to doing so before. At least that's what I had thought...
Personally, I don't see why Upper Deck was so down on this card. Sure, the autographs are on stickers, but it's hardly the worst looking stickergraph I've ever seen. And yet, Upper Deck, for whatever reason, felt the need to let everyone know exactly how they felt about it -- even going so far as to print their critique right on the back of the actual card itself!
Ha.
ReplyDeleteI like it!
ReplyDeleteIt took me a minute to figure out what you talking about but that is funny.
ReplyDeleteBut you did get it, and that's all that matters :)
DeleteHa! Did this card come out right before they lost their MLB license? Maybe it's social commentary on the state of the hobby!
ReplyDeleteI don't know when they lost their license, so I can't say.
DeleteNever seen this. Funny!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a smart looking card myself.
ReplyDeleteI see what you did there :)
Deletethat's good.
ReplyDeleteGreat catch there! Think there's a card out there numbered CR-UD?
ReplyDeleteIf there is, I couldn't find it.
DeleteLol. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteHahah. Good one, Jon!
ReplyDeleteUD used to put in-jokes in their sets before (like #666 always being a Dodger). This could just have easily been DU-BM so I assume it must be on purpose. Great catch!
ReplyDeleteI did not know that!
DeleteThat is really, really funny. Great find.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I wonder if anyone's ever done a more comprehensive post on funny card numbers, especially when letters are involved like this one. Anyway, that's gold, Jon, GOLD!
ReplyDeleteThat I don't know. I think that this is maybe the 4th or 5th one of these that I've done, and I've got three more cards waiting in the wings. After those are done, it might be a while before another one shows up.
DeleteI don't see any issues with this card lol
