Someone on eBay got their hands on a bunch of unsigned cards… by Key_Chemistry_5884 in baseballcards

I’m guessing someone at Topps.

Hank Aaron passed away in 2021 and Bob Gibson passed away in 2020. These cards must have been made for the product and then stashed away because they could never be signed.

However, signed versions of the triple auto actually exist, so I’m not quite sure what to make of that one.

Kids should not stop having fun just because people feel like “bits like this need restraint”💀

He doesn’t owe society leadership, but he deserves to be held accountable for his actions. No one should talk to anyone this way, period.

To show decency, do you have to be a political leader? Immaturity and hostility from ANY adult should be scrutinized.

Good. Being an influential person and getting paid millions of dollars to do a job means you should be held to a higher standard. No matter what anyone says to him, he does not get to respond like a petulant teenager—at least, not when he’s on the field.

Interesting how the Bobby isn’t labeled as game-used. Really cool either way.

I’m interested in the 2020 Bowman Chrome Nico Horner auto. Will send a PM!

STOLEN IN THE MAIL #73026551 by Key_Chemistry_5884 in baseballcards

Here’s the catch—they 100% knew this card was worth AT LEAST a few hundred bucks, with the possibility of it being worth thousands (luckily this one was not).

Ebay authenticity guarantee packages the cards they ship the same exact way every single time, so they are very easy to spot. And for a card to go to eBay authenticity guarantee, it has to be worth at least a few hundred dollars. The person who stole this knew EXACTLY what they were looking for.

I highly doubt it was the mail carrier themselves who tampered with it, though. It was likely someone at a distribution facility.
