Gallery - Cards, Section IV
Page 15, Errors
Three of the cards on this page show the now infamous 'Original' Frank Thomas Autograph Error. I decided then (throughout 2007) that I would try to obtain doubles of every version showing this mistake. While I was not able to get every version of the 06 UD Ultimate Tandem Autos (tried very hard) - I did in fact accomplish getting a pair of the #'d/15 examples; an expensive enough proposition considering the average sale price was $130 a piece. However, I'm very pleased to say that I was successful in getting one set of the errors (all three cards) replaced with correct Big Hurt Autos. Please see next page for the corrected versions.


2006 Future Stars Clear Path To History #CPH-LTT
Available only as a redemption - this is one of two types of CPTH Auto Cards which featured Big Frank. This one and the version with Griffey Jr. instead of Derrek Lee. Thankfully, all the Griff versions I've seen used the correct Big Hurt Auto. Yet another error version would've wiped out my wallet! :-D


2006 SP Authentic Chirography #27/75
The was the first error to make its way into the marketplace. And unless someone can prove otherwise - I believe I was the first to notice it. Regulars to the site know that I document everything and can prove the 'where and when' of any statement I make. Additionally, when I called Chris Carlin, former Senior Customer Service & Call Center Manager, on December 18, 2006 to confirm my report - he said he hadn't heard of it.

2006 UD Ultimate Tandem Materials Dual Autograph #11/15
I mention above that I tried very hard to get an example of every version of the error. But the collector who has the 1/1 Dual MLB Patch version wouldn't accept my Best Offer of nearly one-thousand dollars. To the best of my knowledge he still has it in his collection. And when I couldn't obtain the 1/1 - I gave up trying for the #'d/5 versions, even though I could've easily won the examples that made their way to eBay. If you're reading this MagicPapa - you should thank BigAppleJak. <lol>

2001 Skybox EX Behind The Numbers Jersey Autograph - No Auto
Not as amazing as the three UD errors on this page - but pretty neat nonetheless. A product that was likely garnered from the Fleer Liquidation. Please note that this is also the card I point out as an example of a 'shill auction'. Sorry CKHand - as I explained to you - it was only after you emailed me that I discovered what had transpired. Had I known beforehand I would've stayed away from the BIN.
