Here's your sign.

Every so often we like to post eBay idiots on here. Well, I like nothing better than to procrastinate homework by rummaging eBay looking for nonsense items. Today was no exception.

Here is our first bozo. This auction claims to have a "foil error". No, it's just poor quality control but thanks for playing. Here's your sign.

Next up will be a card that you will hate/love if you collect Stephen Strasburg. It's cool if you like having an obscure card in your collection, it's not so cool if you aren't willing to pay $20+ for a base insert.

Now these are interesting. There are a bunch of these no foil variations floating on eBay and I honestly can't remember if I saw any like this in the case. I really didn't look at any of the base cards at all. If anyone ended up with a sparkle card or a no foil card, please let us know. I'd be interested to see what really ended up coming out of that case.

I think the better question is why are they calling them variations? We all know how they ended up like that, but I don't see that as worth listing on eBay for $5.00 when I could get the actual card for a quarter.

I'm sure I will have more tales to share later. I am waiting on another offer rejection (Some people apparently think Cano autographs /50 are worth $150) for a card I reallllllyyyy want so I am sure I will troll around eBay looking for something else.

This is why people hate the Yankees

It's not the pies that makes other people hate the Yankees, but the fact that those outside of the Yankees have to glorify it.

Topps announced 12 variations in 2010 Topps Series 1 that feature Yankees getting pied after their walk-off wins. As a Yankee fans, I enjoyed every single one of them. I attended four or five of them, which was a 90 percent rate considering the amount of games I got to see at Yankee Stadium last year.

However, why does anyone is not a Yankee fan care about these variations? Furthermore, why does a set like this need to glorify it this way?

I'm not saying I wouldn't lick the pie off ARod's face - actually I am going to say that, I would - but when else has Topps or Upper Deck commemorated a team winning over so many different cards.

Every year there is card highlighting the World Series champions, which I think is a great idea. You don't  know when your team is going to win again and it's a nice piece to add to your collection when it's your team.

But 12 cards featuring guys creaming each other? Perhaps this should go in another set that is not sold to children.

Here's some more information regarding these cards (link) and another mystery that has yet to be revealed (link ... look toward the bottom for the mystery) regarding 2010 Topps Series 1. Where's Stale Gum when you need him?
