2008 Playoff Prime Cuts Wade Miley RC
"A limited number of Razor exclusive player Wade Miley, a pitching prospect in the Arizona Diamondbacks organization, were inadvertantly released in 2008 Playoff Prime Cuts. Donruss issued this statement Tuesday: Due to a production error at the time of pack-out, some 31 copies of a Wade Miley card mistakenly were inserted into packs of 2008 Playoff Prime Cuts Baseball. Donruss officials believed they had a deal with Miley during the production cycle of Prime Cuts, but when it became apparent Miley was exclusive property of another manufacturer, Donruss pulled Miley cards before pack-out. “These few just slipped by,” a Donruss representative said. “It’s an honest mistake, and one we regret.” There are no Miley autograph redemption cards."
The cards that surfaced are:
#01/25 - Sold for: $250.00 (1/8/09) - eBay (BIN)
#08/25 - Sold for: $100.99 (1/14/09) - eBay

2001 Fleer Genuine Paul Molitor Material Issue Jersey SP
Before Fleer went Bankrupt, I was told that there were less than 60 in circulation, but I believe there are less than that. These cards are nearly impossible to find, not even on search engines. These cards are rare. |

2005 Donruss Signature Milestone Marks #MM7 & #MM8 does exist.
According to the leading Price guide publication, Cards #MM7 & MM8 does not exist.
Official word from Donruss:
"We apologize for the delayed response. We want to make sure we provide accurate information to our customers. Beckett’s price guide is correct in stating that the cards identified do not exist in 2005 Signature Series Milestone Marks. The Randy Johnson and Warren Spahn cards were actually printed and should have been pulled during the production cycle. Unfortunately not all cards were pulled. We would be pleased to replace these cards with other cards of value from 2005 Signature Series. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance. Thank you for your time and have a great day!" |

No Autographs for this Henson card.
The background for this card, 1999 SP Top Prospect Drew Henson SP #93, is that it was released by Upper Deck, but violated NCAA rules, as Henson still played football for Michigan. Upper Deck tried to pull what they could from getting out.
I sent out a request back in 1999 to get this card signed and again after he signed a contract with Fleer. Both times, he sent back a handwritten note that says he does not sign those cards. |
