I know we already talked about the first guy to complete the YSL set, but did we know he was getting his own baseball card because of it? I saw this on a press release today and shook my head.
Upper Deck has recognized Baxter's feat by producing a special "Historic First" insert card of Tommy and his YSL cards that will be part of the company's fast-approaching 2009 Upper Deck Series 1 Baseball release. The product is scheduled to reach store shelves on Feb. 3, 2009.
Catch a picture of our boy here.
Wow. That dude looks... creepy. He looks like the type of guy I'd buy a used Hustler from.
ReplyDelete...not that I'm into buying used Hustlers. *cough*
Used???
ReplyDeleteExactly.
ReplyDeleteI am not surprised they would dedicate a card to the first to complete YSL. At least it is a card related to collecting baseball cards.
ReplyDeleteSeeing that there are now Sarah Palin, Barack Obama, John McCain, all the strange people to be included in Allen and Ginter, I am not surprised to see this guy with his own card. Just surprised at how creepy Upper Deck can make a fellow. Or does he do that on his own. I wonder what that set is worth.
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me. Isn't Allen & Ginter supposed to have a card made of the first person to crack the code from the '08 set?
