UGH, that ain't Pedro

Not with a height of 6-2. :)

If I were cynical I would think the seller is hoping someone thinks it is Pedro. $1000 for a minor league common of a guy who won less than 10 games in the majors does seem steep.

In legal terms, even if there is no overt misrepresentation, I think it's misleading.

the crazy thing is that a legit 1990 Great Falls Dodgers Pedro PSA 10 can be had for < $50. I was almost fooled around 10 years ago but I had to do some research when I looked at that guy on the '89 Charleston card and thought, "now that ain't Pedro!"

For a while during his Expos days, I remember THE Pedro being referred to as Pedro J. Martinez in papers and boxscores - those references stopped once the imposter was out of baseball.
BTW - not sure how a 10 has so much white visible on those green borders?? |

This is the only Pedro I'd ever consider owning. You're right though, his 1991-92 "rookie" cards simply aren't nice enough to own.

Ah it is Pedro A. Martinez. At least the MLB cards there was no mistaking it. Unlike the Adrian Peterson issue in football.

I'm taking bids on this authentic Mike Piazza rookie card.

I've also got a great deal on this Bob Gibson card.

I had a really beat Sam Adams football card that I pretty much skinned and carved up and glued to a Sam Adams beer bottle. After all it did say "Brewmaster -Patriot" and the player played for the Patriots.

Back in the early 1990s, the Padres had Pedro Martinez, and the Chargers had DT Reggie White. Problem was, they were the "Other" Pedro and Reggie :(
