Mike Piazza just met Mike Piazza

[Hess687]

Not sure if everyone has saw this yet, but this is an EPIC Topps FAIL! So, they took Mike Piazza (HOF'er) and made a card in Supreme....patch auto...pretty sweet. Problem is...the auto is of Mike Piazza (Angels prospect)

Huh-LARIOUS

[enbambam6986]

hahaha damn topps

[izybone]

One of these days...:eek:

[FlyHighCards]

nice going Topps

[rcgdodge]

Wow, now what?!?!?

[gmarutiak]

This is the Toppsiest thing they've done yet.

[hotbox]

Damn you Topps.

[The Chad]

They should change their company name to "Bottoms".

[VandyCards]

maybe that's why he looks so confused in the photo

[ChasescardCave]

On a 1/1 to make it even worse. Wow.

[bobthewondercat]

Could see this coming a miiiiile away

[JMarchand1981]

Piazza is not a hall of famer.....

[Crazybella8]

Piazza is not a hall of famer.....

That's what confused Topps!

[centereacan06]

OR did he change his auto and Topps put Mets' Mike Piazza autographs on Angels' Mike Piazza's Pro Debut cards?

Ahh? Ahh?


Nah.

[Skipscards]

Remember sometimes Topps corrects their mistakes in style...

Beckett News » Topps corrects Lou Gehrig Triple Threads error — with a cut autograph (http://www.beckett.com/news/2012/01/topps-corrects-lou-gehrig-triple-threads-error-with-a-cut-autograph/)

[JMarchand1981]

That's what confused Topps!

We figured it out. Case closed.

[glen87]

now how exactly is this a problem?
You have a card with a picture of a guy named "Mike Piazza."
That card has an autograph of a "Mike Piazza."

Does it state anywhere on the card that those two have to be from the same "Mike Piazza?"

hope you catch the sarcasm

[phosgene]

this autograph not from any specific mike piazza....

how does that get out the door? just amazing how something like that can get produced w/o being glanced at for 0.5 seconds by someone with enough knowledge to know approximately what hof piazza's sig looks like. are these cards made in a sweat shop?

[sthoemke]

The joy of sticker autos...

[gradedeflator]

terrible.

i actually collect mike piazza. sad to see this!

You really don't know much about card production do you?


Anyway, this is hardly unprecedented. See, Frank Thomas.


Heck, all of Jordan Swagerty's Elite Autographs had Magic Johnson Autographs on them.

[bobthewondercat]

Sweat shop no, low-pay low-skill non-sports-fan non-card-collector factory labor yes.

This is awesome.

Also, Mike Piazza the prospect is with the Rockies now.

[ucLAkers]

Looks like a 1/1 beer coaster no mater which Piazza it is!

[death2redemptions]

You had one job....

[Slette]

Oof, it's like DLP's Reggie White situation all over again

[phosgene]

frank thomas, yes i've seen it. the only one that is remotely understandable is ryan braun, because i believe there are two guys with this name and their sigs are REALLY similar.

still, regardless of the sweat shop conditions of production, you would think there is someone supervising or doing qc that has just a tiny bit of knowledge.

[LCM1223]

Everyone at Topps deserves one punch in the face per person.

[Zoop]

This is the Toppsiest thing they've done yet.

Nah, that'd be sending people empty envelopes containing packing slips that claim their Kris Bryant autos are in the empty envelope and marking said redemptions as fulfilled.

[mikestrick]

They should change their company name to "Bottoms".

[lindeman79]

UM NOT having Ken Griffey Jr. and Barry Sanders in 1989 reg topps.... And not having Tom Brady in 2000 reg topps. These are worse... BY FAR

This is the Toppsiest thing they've done yet.

[Coug46n2]

this autograph not from any specific mike piazza....

Well done, this made me laugh.

[Twinsfan33]

One of these days...:eek:

You're heart will never be broken! You're pride will never be stolen! :)

[Cardshack14]

Saw this (or maybe one like it) on Twitter. Guy said as a mets fan, he was proud to pull it. :o. This is a big time fail, but, this autograph is not certified to be signed by any specific Mike Piazza. :D

[NickM]

I still find mixing up the Bill Wennington and Bill Walton autos in Panini's Private Signings cards (25 of each, special promotion for buying boxes at full MSRP from them at NBA Finals time) to be worse.
