Chad (TheTruth17) was actually talking about it a few weeks ago. But, also:

2008 Topps Allen & Ginter's Woolly Mammoth Hair Card | eBay

So what you are trying to tell me is it is not a rookie?

My guess is, right here:

"Fossil" WOOLLY MAMMOTH Hair | eBay

Mrpokey · 10-21-2011, 10:44 AM

I realize Topps has Mammoth cards, but they have a lot more money at their disposal then this guy, not to mention more oportunities to get this rare, odd stuff

natbornkiller · 10-21-2011, 10:58 AM

look closer its has the old pacific logo on a part of the logo

VWBUS1978 · 10-21-2011, 11:11 AM

You want mammoth hait, i can get you mammoth hair.

I can see the future and i see the next big things in trading cards....

Nail clippings, game used socks and the ever-elusive blister juice

I would have taken what you said seriously if you didnt sit on scambros daily talking trash about the people here at BO. So not to be rude but your are the LAST person who should be talking about who to trust since your present company isnt the most reliable.

As with all of these they will seem great and the ol greed monster will kick in, mark my words. If you are going to be putting patches and are NOBODY'S you need a bit more that 4 coas for the less desirable cards on your site.

Lets see some for Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Albert Pujlos, stan musial, Yaz, Brock. And even then I still wouldn't touch this with found money cause as I said earlier its only a matter of time.

Now why would you say that??

Gary has been one of the best members in the card community for the longest time. He has been working on creating his own cards with youtubers and people in the community forever, he has great concepts, sometimes his designs may not do anything for me either, but he is doing somethin that none of us are.

I have known bout this for awhile now and good for him, finally getting a chance to produce legit sports cards. Everything he is using is certified too. Why bash the guy when he is trying to get into the community. You dont see other companies giving you patches like that and probably never will cause they know they have your money.

I for one wish Gary (Kingofsteak) the best of luck on this, I hope it's a success, cause well I for one like where is he going with this product. People say they want nasty patches and when they get them they still complain.

Can't make everyone happy I guess. I guess some people are happy with Topps, Panini and UD when truthfully overall they dont give you anything that makes you go OMG thats AWESOME. They are the reason that people are getting out of the hobby. Others are trying new things to bring people back into the hobby.

wtf? i never talked trash about any ppl here on BO. and i really dont like how all u guys on here are now associating me with fanbro like that. i defended them cuz they havent scammed me b4 and therefore i got nothin against em yet. i actually got a warren moon auto & MJ bat card from them yesterday by winning points auctions. and once again, fanbro or scambro or w/e has nothing to do with gary's cards. y did u even make that comparison? seriously...makes no sense there other than u bein another person tryna start this crap with me again. would u guys just leave me alone bout that...omg! and i might take u seriously if u werent on BO talkin trash about me.

oh, and for $40-$50 u get a NASTY jumbo patch or button or logoman of a great baseball player and other famous figures. 300 boxes made and there are ted williams 1/1 cut auto, lebron james 1/1 jumbo patch, wolly mammoth dna relic 5/5, 1/1 button patches, logomans, etc. gary is a reliable guy, if u actually know him u'd understand. all the mem he has are certified too. look i understand if u wanna stay away from this product, but dont bash it like that without knowin all the facts about the cards and his card making. and Shimey013 ^^ knows what he's talkin bout

Somehow I just can't take you seriously.

In regards to the topic, whether the card companies suck or not. I just can't justify spending my hard earned money on something that isn't licensed.

Spend $40 and no matter the hit, you're not going to get close to what you would for a Topps product on eBay. Sure the patches might be sick, but what's the point?

If I didn't know you were a teenager, I'd say, "boy you sure type/talk like a teenager." OMG...leave me alone mom. I'll be in my room.

RichSlyFox14 · 10-22-2011, 10:43 AM

yea u make a good point bout the unlicensed product, and thats def respectable, i understand. and wow wilsonvaldez, cuz im a teenager ur gonna treat me differently from other collectors...lol wow, and the whole "mom i'll be in my room" or w/e. ? doesnt even make sense but ok...lol

DiceKCollector · 10-22-2011, 11:14 AM

Ill buy a box in a couple weeks if any are available.

GoJays · 10-22-2011, 11:18 AM

I really have no problem with this product, and I don't get why some people do. I don't know Gary personally, but I take it by everyone's kind comments he's a pretty reliable guy. And as long as he has coa's he's absolutely fine. Let the man start his company. This is nothing like the whole fanbro scam. Good luck Gary.

WhacksPacks · 10-22-2011, 12:47 PM

VERY impressed with the packaging. VERY impressed. I don't care much for the card designs themselves (hopefully he can greatly improve that next time around)..but it appears from the youtube video that the packaging is as professional and secure as the 'big dogs'. Kudos to whoever this gary guy is..looks like he's off to a fantastic start.

Res215dg · 10-22-2011, 12:54 PM

Looks like he just listed this item live on Ebay- I'll probably pick up a box just to see what these cards are really like in person. I mean I've been ripped apart by Panini in the past- I don't see what's the difference by being ripped here by a no name company

No, I'm not going to treat you differently because you're a teenager...i'm going to treat you differently because you talk like an id-jit. lol ok..wow? w/e lol

purejd86p · 10-22-2011, 04:25 PM

Wow if people just did a little research on this person they would find he is a very respected in the card community and wounld never scam anyone. It is just sad that people automaticaly call this fake or a garbage product. I wish Gary (Kingofsteak) nothing but success with this product and anything else in the future he releases.

Burt-Reynolds · 10-22-2011, 09:22 PM

Gary is a good dude, he's been on Youtube for years and isn't out to scam anyone. He made a couple sets of cards featuring youtubers for nothing. He didn't make a penny off of it, just used donations for others to produce them and then they got a pack for their donations.

Having said that I've watched a few breaks of these cards be opened and not to knock Gary's hustle, because anyone who has drive and determination to try and follow a dream deserves respect. However I do think he's lacking in execution, he uses some nice patches and the cards are well made but the design is very lacking and juvenile to me. They don't have the feel of a high end elegant design, that is usually associated with these types of patches. The design of the cards are too colorful and all over the place. Also the name "Gallery of Awesome" is too cheesy, and if his intention is too make himself legitimate and make a living with this. Which from everything I've seen is clearly his intention he needs to tone it down and class it up a little IMO. If you've ever seen Gary's videos he definitely has a unique sense of style and humor which is clearly reflected in the design of these cards, but it isn't going to translate into financial success at this rate.
