FF Bat Knob creation

 New creation from jkbarkleyfan on eBay.  Standard sized (except VERY thick), custom wood knob insert.  Great detail and love the redone card back.  

Keep an eye out for his current and future creations on eBay.

 

Black Box w/ Print Dot on the Collar (New Pickup)

New, cheap pickup for 2023.  Common Black Box version with a nice Red/Yellow print dot on the collar.  Haven't seen one of these before?

2021 Topps Museum 1/1 Canvas?

Excited to pickup this "1 of 1" FF piece.  Licensed by Topps.  Unique item for the 2021 Topps Museum Canvas Collection.  Drawn by Gary Kezele who has done several of these for the major card companies.  Sports and non-sports like Star Wars etc.  Beautiful work by a popular artist.

Obviously, this card was never in a 2021 Topps pack.  Selected artists are sent blank "1 of 1" cards to work with and sell.  This is how Topps (and others) compensate these artists.  

Below is the 'selected' Ripken canvas reproduction card from the 2021 set by artist Josh Trout.

New White Scribble Pickup

 New White Scribble Pickup!  Only the 2nd time I've seen the saw-cut on the left side of the bat knob.  Neat little print dot on the letter B too.  Something different for the collection.

New FF Pickup. FF cut from sheet.

 Newish pickup this summer.  Oversized FF card cut from a sheet of cards.  Probably saved from a trash can or dumpster in 1989.  Zoomed in to find a decent blue ink offset too.

"Hug Face" by Alex Pardee 2023 Comic Con

 Newly released for the 2023 San Diego Comic Con.  Artist Alex Pardee links the FF to the Alien movie franchise with these "Hug Face" creations.  Commander Kane was the first victim in the movie after being attacked by a 'facehugger' alien.  Shown here are the original HF version and a 'Acid Drop' variety.

CSG grades a FF "Mystery" card

 Another one slips past the experts.  Currently a CSG 9 FF is up on eBay.  After closer examination - it's a FF "Mystery" card.  Not an original FF error.
