as many of you may know, i own a card shop...

if any of you collect baseball cards the topps 2006 set has a missing card, #297 alex gordon...

under the new rules regarding rookie cards, a player can not be included in any set untill he has played a mlb game so his card was pulled...

Quote:

Topps announces both the recently-released 2006 Topps Baseball Series 1 and the upcoming 2006 Topps Heritage Baseball have a missing card number. Topps Baseball does not include card # 297 while Topps Heritage does not include card # 255. The Topps Heritage Chrome Parallel is also missing card number # 103. The subject originally slated for the missing card numbers was Kansas City Royals prospect Alex Gordon. But because Gordon is not Rookie Card eligible under the new Rookie Card guidelines, he was removed. And because of a timing issue in the manufacturing process, Topps was unable to insert a replacement subject.

Gordon has been replaced on the remaining 2006 Topps branded checklists and will be featured as a prospect card in 2006 Bowman products.

however, a few did get issued with the center cut out... why do that and not pull it altogether??? smells of the lavar arrington debacle in the fleer ultra set a few years back...

yet, one complete card has shown it's ugly head in illinois and went on ebay...

linkage

so, should you find one cash in quick!!!

What a great find this was for someone, looks like a greedy SOB to me though, bidding hit over $1300 and it says reserve not met, then I see they even lowered the reserve price on it, gimme a break.

I know that it is a very niche market, but I wonder if they will make an E-Topps for him or maybe include him as a very late addition to the set.

Wow! I like to know if there is any uncut sheets from the printer with Alex Gordon on it.
That would also be a very rare and valuable find.
