i cey to you, please avert your eyes

i did it again and added another 2008 tristar signa cuts card to my collection.
that abomination is a 1983 topps ron cey card at its core, signed and then mutilated for my enjoyment.

i was thinking when i made the offer on it that it might be an o-pee-chee card since there is no "10" inscription inside the "r" loop in ron cey's signature, but it looks to be the topps flagship card after all based on the color of the border.

this is the second red /25 cey chop shop tristar card that i have in my collection, but the other one was a different card. i'll continue to keep my eyes open for cards like this even as i recommend you look away.

    What the heck was TriStar thinking? It's so bad... it's actually really awesome.

    "i'll continue to keep my eyes open for cards like this even as i recommend you look away."
    Ah I see, this is how you plan on reducing the competition on beautifully cut Ron Cey autographs limited to 25 copies.

    But man, good old Tristar. I remember when they put out a "Bryce Harper and Mike Trout dual autograph" and it was just a cut Bryce Harper sticker autograph from 2012 Topps on one side and on the other side a leftover Mike Trout autograph sticker with nothing behind it from (presumably) when he first became a pro in 2008.
