Big Thanks to Ken R. from GA!!!
He found this card in his collection and stumbled upon my website looking up information on it.
The card is signed by Steve Babineau. The guy that snapped the FF photo! Ken wanted me to have this card and I'm very grateful.
It was signed during Spring Training in 1990. "OOPS"

Early Christmas
A HUGE thanks to Andrew Daviduk! I was able to acquire a few HUGE cards for my FF collection this week. Here are the two highlights:
1) Ultra Rare uncut or non-sawcut Circle Scribble. This is the #2 version or "CS2" out of the 4 Circle Scribble varieties. Only one I've ever seen without the factory sawcut! I now have all 4 CS card varieties in both sawcut and non-sawcut form.
2) Super cool print freak FF card. This one has the popular Jose Canseco 40/40 card #628 partially printed on top. Someone probably found this while diving into a dumpster outside the Fleer plant. This card is beautiful and certainly unique. Both the FF and the #628 were located on the bottom middle of their respective factory sheets making it easy to see how this 'error' was made.
Needless to say, Andy will be making some of his rare collection available soon. Please contact him directly at unkkle@hotmail.com and visit his current eBay listings HERE

December Pickup
2 months in a row - adding a FF rack pack. This one is special. Being a Griffey fan, I've always dreamed of finding an unopened rack pack with both the Griffey Rookie and the FF showing on top. Dream came true! Beautiful example of the Griffey next to the FF and all 3 cards facing the same direction. The FF is even the center card! Probably my pickup of the year.

November Pickup
Picked up a new rack pack this month. It has 2 error cards showing on top - both the FF and the Kevin Romine which was corrected later on.

1973 Kaline "Band-Aid" version
Ben N. brought this card to my attention. I'd never seen it before. 1973 Topps Al Kaline. This card had an early variation showing band-aids on Kaline's forehead. I found this picture on Net54 showing potentially 3 versions - with the middle one being a airbrushed correction? Tough variations to find!

New October additions
Added a couple new varieties to the personal collection. First is a FF with what looks to be 3 color off sets. Red, Blue, Yellow. Not sure if I already have one with that much yellow showing. Something different. Second is a Scribble w/ Loop with a very short sawcut/slit at the bottom.
