2 Errors, 1 Card?
Stephen Strasburg is a highly touted prospect that most prospectors have been clamoring over each and every release of a card featuring him. Now if we were writing about cards in the 90’s this card would be by far the hottest card you could get.
It’s an autographed card of Strasburg that is serial numbered 99/20, and as was the case with most of his 2009 USA Cards from Upper Deck they spelled his name Strasberg. It’s signed on card, you would think Stephen could have gone “Hey guys, you spelled my name wrong….”
Thanks to JP from FreedomCardBoard.com for bringing this card to our attention.
