This 2009 Topps Update card reminds me of the big dollar boo boo Topps did with Hendrick card a few years later. You know I had a couple of those and actually sent one unknowing of the value in one of those flat rate boxes I used to send out. I still to this day, don't pay attention to "variations" when set building (for the most part).
Grape Gatorade.
I don't like the Rangers, I don't like the AL, I don't like Andrus, but I do like this card. It might even be one of those black foils too.
You want to talk about wacky, well I'd been watching the mailbox for a week, thinking I was due some 78' OPC cards from Ebay. My box came in yesterday, sorted them (put them in order..all 97 of them) when I realized they were 78 Topps. I was pissed, I looked at the invoice it said 78 Topps, I went onto Ebay, and sure enough it was 78' Topps. I have no idea why I was buying 78 Topps. Maybe it was because it was $8.00 for the lot BIN. I don't know what I was thinking. I've completed the set and only need to upgrade a few to EX-NM.
#'s 6, 7, 20, 40, 72, 259, 268, and 320. Talk about a wacky move.
I've made similar mistakes. One time I thought I was buying a box of 1992 Gameday and that's exactly what I received. A empty box. When I checked the eBay description that's exactly how it had been described.
