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."

2008 Topps Heritage Chrome Jerry Hairston #C285 (#'d /1959)

How rare is this card? For some time, a lot of collectors believed this card did not exist. The Refractor parallels seem to have been inserted into packs correctly.

Art "Superman" Pennington, one of the few living all-stars from the Negro Leagues (who actually played in the Negro Leagues in the early 1940's) had his house demolished by the floods in Iowa. All of his baseball memorabilia is gone, as are his car, his clothing and one of his dogs. He's set up a site for people to make donations and would greatly appreciate it.

FUKUDOME NON-AUTOGRAPHED ERROR CARD

Topps announces it inadvertently inserted a Bowman Chrome Kosuke Fukudome Autographed Rookie Card (which is not autographed) into packs of the recently-released 2008 Bowman Chrome Baseball.  A total of 1900 copies were issued.  Fukudome is not a subject on the Autographed Rookie Card checklist nor was he ever solicited as one.

Fukudome’s Rookie Card is featured on a Bowman Chrome Base Card and the following parallels: Refractor, X-Fractor (#’d to 250), Blue Refractor (#’d to 150), Gold Refractor (#’d to 50), Orange Refractor (#’d to 25), Red Refractor (#’d to 5) and Superfractor (1 of 1).

This card was not intended for public release. They were pulled from production at the last minute because Donruss did not have image approval to produce the card.

2008 UD Presidential Predictors #PP-7H (Hillary Clinton Edges Barack Obama)

This card was pulled by Upper Deck when Mrs. Clinton dropped out of the Presidential race.

I guess this was like any other championship contest. Items are made for both sides and whoever loses, their items are destroyed. Some of these still made their way out to the market.

2008 UD Series 1 Presidential Predictors #PP-7 (Mrs. Clinton as Morganna the Kissing Bandit)

This card was pulled by Upper Deck.

"We produced the Hillary Clinton card as we did the other candidates and literally as we were packing out some of external partners said it might be in poor taste," said Upper Deck spokesman, Terry Melia. "To make sure we weren't offending anyone including major league baseball and the Hillary Clinton camp we started manually pulling them out right off the production line."

2001 Fleer Genuine Phil Rizzuto Names Of the Game Bat/Autograph

These cards were completely pulled from production. This card may be a 1 of a kind.

I've obtained a non-signed version, a signed version, and a blue signed variation.
