Back in the early 90's, they made trading cards for famous Rabbis which isn't too far off from your question. I'm still hunting the Plato Auto/toga patch/logoman/1 of 1.

Does anyone know if there was a parallel for 99-00 UD Gold Reserve? As you can see from looking at the front of these two Sheeds, they are clearly different. It looks like the difference between...

The low value is listed at $125.00 with a high value of $3.00 and an up arrow.

This is Funny

Check out the Beckett value (OPG) for the 87-88 Fleer Michael Cage RC and you'll probably chuckle.

I feel like I went back in time to a parallel universe of 1994 but in this parallel world collectors prefer plain old Topps to Topps Finest, Stadium Club and Fleer Ultra.
