Some of these buybacks are a bit silly
I don't know if this belongs here or in the modern forum.... I'm not against buybacks, they might help bring more people into vintage land. I generally don't like the buyback stamp, feels like damaging a vintage card. Regardless of how one feels, this one was amusing to come across. Fergie just can't get no respect. You'd think they place it in one of the top corners.

That is messing up a nice card. That used to show 3 great close-up portraits of hall of fame pitchers. What a shame.

Boog got hit by the foil stamp as well:

I never understood why Topps felt they had to foil stamp them - why couldn't they, or wouldn't they, simply insert the cards raw? Sort of like they did in 1991?
Wait - I think I can answer my own question - by stamping them it makes them their own "set" and will encourage people to buy more product...does that make any sense? Because the more I think about, it really doesn't to me any more. |

Yeah, it still annoys me a little when I remember pulling this one out of a pack...
