You Learn Something New Everyday

Variations are such a quirky aspect of The Hobby and a true challenge for any completist. Take for instance this other wise mundane card of George Brett from the 1979 Kellogg's series that I currently have listed on ebay. Imagine my surprise when I received this question from a potential buyer today:

"Hi, can you tell me if the copyright symbol on back is in Tony's scarf or below Tony's scarf in lower right corner of box and if there is or is not another one after the team logo on back top right corner?
Thanks, "


Obscure, I though to myself but it certainly isn't any skin off my back to check. This is what I found:


So at this point my curiosity is peaked. I respond to the questions with the results and ask him for further details. Apparently their are 3 variations base on his reply.

"Hi, the cards were printed 3 ways:

1. Copyright symbol on back in Tony's scarf
2. Below Tony's scarf in lower right corner of box and not after team logo
3. Below Tony's scarf in lower right corner of box and after team logo"

So there you go variations on the 1979 Kellogg's 3D Superstar Cards

Guest Review: T206 Is A Head Scratcher

I was very excited to review this set. I own a beautiful Piedmont card from the original set and I was hoping to get a few memorable cards out of this new release that’s an homage to the original set. But the more I examined the cards the more issues I found which dialed down a lot of the glee I thought that I would have.

If I added up a list of my likes and dislikes I think the dislikes would have the edge. There are some “QC” issues but in this day and age should a set have so many?

It's Time For Upper Deck to Start Playing By the Rules

I can't help but shake my head at the latest shenanigans pulled by Upper Deck. As most of you have heard by now, the folks in Carlsbad, CA are once again facing litigation. This time for the unauthorized use of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's likeness in their upcoming product release of NCAA Greats of the Game Basketball. I needed a couple of days to wrap my head around the blatant disregard this company continues to display for the basic rules of law and sound business practices before commenting.

At a time when the company needs to regroup, lay low, and not make waves, they instead pull a stunt like this, which, when all is said and done, will cost them something they don't have a lot of right now, i imagine, cash. Coming on the heels of multiple legal hurdles, injunctions, and lawsuits, the suits at Upper Deck seem to be spending more time lately in the courtroom than the board room.

Their rival, Panini America, just a few years ago, when they were still operating as Donruss, faced similar circumstances of losing multiple sports trading card licenses with no other product category to fall back on and fill the revenue void. Upper Deck, fortunately for them, has its hands in authenticated memorabilia, trading card games, and non-sport trading cards also, to help, at least, temporarily stop the bleeding.

It just seems irrational to me that a company would knowingly choose this fight. Did they think Kareem would simply ignore this situation? Doubtful. Some bean counter worked out some empirical mathematical formula and determined that Kareem's presence in the product vs the cost of legal action was worth the calculated risk. Or maybe I am giving them too much credit. Regardless of the logic, (or lack-there-of) now doesn't seem the time to gamble.

For the first time in years, they are facing competition in the hockey trading card market, their ONLY league licensed sport, from Panini, while simultaneously being required to reduce the number of brands they release in that niche. Instead of plotting a way to dominate market share through an innovative product offering, they are going to have to divert resources in money, time and PR to deal with this pending litigation.

Back in April I wrote a post detailing what I though needed to be done to position Upper Deck for a rebound in the future. None of them have happened, which either means, I don't know what I am talking about, don't have all the information, or the company is too egotistical to make the necessary decisions to come out of their current circumstances as a viable entity in the market poised for recovery.

It is going to be YEARS, before they get their licensing back in ANY sport other than hockey. It's time to accept their role as a little fish in a big pond and start acting appropriately.

Time to Come Clean- MLB, Steroids and Cooperstown

Bud Selig and Major League Baseball need to take an official stance on the Steroid Era once and for all. Burying their head in the sand and paying lip service to a situation in which they were complicit in creating is no longer an option. The integrity of the game, arguably, already tarnished beyond repair, will only begin the process of healing when speculation, secret testing results and the current “ignore it and it will go away attitude” are no longer part of the league’s official position on the subject.

The Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, the Mecca for players, coaches, and fans alike is a revered and hallowed institution that houses, archives and preserves the game’s greatest players, achievements, and statistics. Those statistics, unlike those of ANY OTHER SPORT, have become littered with suspicion, asterisks, innuendo, dissent and ridicule. The disservice done by MLB in the treating of this issue only complicates the situation as the murky debates and prejudice on the parts of the Hall’s election committees will continue to convolute and pollute the game’s revered shrine until a permanent solution is reached.

The answer, while not perfect, is quite simple. The Hall, and the league, needs to acknowledge and endorse the existence of the “era” by accepting complicit blame in a public statement visible to Cooperstown patrons as they enter a permanent exhibit highlighting the era and the personalities and players involved or even suspected.

Such a statement might read;

“The mid 1990’s marked one of the low points for Major League Baseball. Disenfranchised fans left the game in droves following the strike shortened season of 1994 that resulted in the canceling of the game’s greatest stage, the World Series. The years that followed saw, at the time, some of the most dramatic moments in the history of the game. Most notably of these was the historic single season record Home Run Chase of 1998 between the Chicago Cub’s Sammy Sosa and the St Louis Cardinal’s Mark McGwire who eventually broke Roger Maris long held record of 61 home runs.

The years the followed saw a disproportionate amount of Home Runs being hit that catapulted such players as Alex Rodriguez, Rafael Palmeiro, the aforementioned Sosa and McGwire, Gary Sheffield, Manny Ramirez and the game’s eventual all-time Home Run King, Barry Bonds, into the iconic and legendary 500 Home Run Club. All of these players have been, in some way, shape or form, linked to the league’s eventual investigation into the use of PED’s (Performance Enhancing Drugs). These drugs include, but are not limited to anabolic steroids and HGH (Human Growth Hormone).

It should be noted that the suspected and alleged use of PED’s was not limited simply to superstar power hitters but ace pitchers including Roger Clemens and Andy Petite, to name a few as well.

While these circumstances are tragic and have cheated the game and its fans of the level playing field in which the game’s statistics and its players have been able to be compared across generations, Major League Baseball was complicit in turning a blind eye to the statistical anomalies preferring instead, to relish the increased TV ratings and attendance numbers rather than the integrity of the game itself.

These circumstances and the history it created, can no longer be ignored. This exhibit will permanently house displays and artifacts as a tribute to this era, regardless of what the Hall of Fame’s voting committees decide on the eligibility of the players allegedly or proved to be, involved in the use of performance enhancing drugs. Welcome to the Steroid Era exhibit of the Baseball Hall of Fame. If we fail to recognize our game’s history and failures, we are doomed to repeat it.”

Why I Don't Want Ryno to Manage the Cubs

It would be just like the Cubs to hire a HOF figure head following another managerial tour of futility. Attendance is down considerably as Cub's fans are no longer willing to accept the long tired title of "lovable" losers. So why not placate them with Hall of Famer and fan favorite Ryne "Ryno" Sandberg?

Lou Piniella's emotional, post-game press conference Sunday, following his final game, was indicative of the fiery passion he possessed for the game that fueled his intense desire to win. That passion is something that appears totally lacking in Ryne Sandberg who I have met on a few occasions. I came away from those experiences with the distinct impression that Ryno is your stereotypical mimbo.

While it's true that Sandberg has spent the the last several years paying his dues at the minor league league level with the idea of being groomed to take over the Cubs' big league manager's position. To do so would be a disservice not only to Cub's fans but Ryne Sandberg himself.


For starters, his managerial record isn't anything impressive, with a record of 276-269, this level of mediocrity mirrors what has bogged down the Cubs for years and is also a reflection of his bland vanilla personality. While the New York Yankees have hired and fired several former players over the years, including Sweet Lou himself, they have never, at least in my lifetime anyway, have had the misfortune of firing a Hall of Fame player. The saying that managers are hired to be fired is true and I don't know why the Cubs would want to put one of their own in that position to begin with.

The team that Lou Piniella inherited, on paper, was capable of winning. They even made two straight playoff appearances under Lou's tenure only to be swept 3-0 in both years. Now I will be the first to say that Piniella mismanaged at least one of those series by not setting up his rotation properl, but the truth of the matter is that highly paid players like Derrick Lee, Aramis Rameriz and Alfonso Sorianio choked. General manager, Jim Hendry, has handcuffed this team with over-inflated contracts so severly, with the likes of Soriano and Koske Fukodome, that the current mid-season fire sale of Ted Lily, Ryan Theriot, and Derrick Lee is only a small step in a rebuilding campaign that will last for years. Is that the kind of team that we won't to hand over to one of the franchises most revered players, even if he is a shallow mimbo? I don't think so.
