Is this not the stupidest card you've ever seen? When I was a kid, I really liked this set and I bought quite a few packs during the season. But this card always made me laugh. I got TWO of them in one pack. Just thought I would share this as I was randomly laughing to myself about it today. I no longer have this card but maybe one day it will worm it's way back into my collection haha.

I'd love to know who looked at this and said. "Oh yeah, that's the shot. Great card. Run with it."

One of my favorites http://www.tradingcarddb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/69366/cid/5083935/2012-Topps-377-Kellen-Moore ------------------------------- Turning off trading because my collection is in complete disarray after moving and I don't know when I can get it organized.

Topps was trying very hard to not show any of the previous team's jerseys on the expansion team's cards...thus, extreme closeups!

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

Well, that explains that look. Photo right after he found out he was selected.

“It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops. Today, October 2, a Sunday of rain and broken branches and leaf-clogged drains and slick streets, it stopped and summer was gone.”

The Salley card just makes me think that he's looking at a ref and thinking "You called me for THAT?". The other cards made me actually laugh at the picture.
