Thankfully zero of them are required to complete a set, as mentioned above.moremonkeys138https://www.blogger.com/profile/05040986592810865491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629281127274459200.post-89704265774801583392012-01-31T08:44:07.658-05:002012-01-31T08:44:07.658-05:00Lol... love the passion. Great post.
Saw this ca...Lol... love the passion. Great post.<br /><br />Saw this card on a Yahoo article... so maybe it'll attract some non-collectors to become collectors... which is probably the angle Topps was going for.<br /><br />I tend to agree with hiflew... it's a short print, so it's not the end of the world. Collectors who don't like it can just chase the regular issue card.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629281127274459200.post-31334942010628337812012-01-30T23:43:21.849-05:002012-01-30T23:43:21.849-05:00This is cheesy.

If a Cardinal fan gets this, then what binder do they put the card in?<br /><br />As for the other gimmick of Pablows Sandoval fighting a mascot, I would rather get a card of a mascot stomping on Sandoval. A mascot beating up a giant would be a Dodger fans must have card of 2012.Spiegel83https://www.blogger.com/profile/04965039640352189372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629281127274459200.post-20804380745966914522012-01-30T21:58:05.427-05:002012-01-30T21:58:05.427-05:00Calm down just a bit, maybe switch to decaf. This...Calm down just a bit, maybe switch to decaf. This card is one of the SP variations. Pablo Sandoval also will have one of him beating up the Pirates mascot. Schumaker's actual base card will be of him.<br /><br />I actually don't mind this particular short print, because I look at the flagship Topps set as a yearbook of the prior season. If you watched the World Series, then you heard about the Rally Squirrel. It is what it is, just a fun remembrance of the past baseball season which is what cards should be.<br /><br />That being said, I am not a fan of the gimmicks either. But at least this is a memorable moment from the World Series as opposed to a stupid shiny splotch hidden somewhere on the card or a random insertion of George Bush or Rudy Guiliani.hiflewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07128126188366882765noreply@blogger.com
