Now I've seen it all

I don't really follow the other sports hobby markets much anymore so apologies if this is common knowledge (or has been done before) but when searching Chipper Jones I stumbled across a rather interesting new phenomenon (?) in the hobby:

Yup, those are scouts autos. As in... the scout who "discovered" said player.

I mean- some more coaches autos would be cool but scouts? What the heck is next? Trainers? Equipment managers? The people who scan your tickets when you enter the building?

Oh yeah, I came across the "mystery" Bowman Scout person (upper left of the scan) in the Cardboard Junkie blog the other day.

lmao I didn't even see that until you pointed it out.

I saw another auction and this one had more pictures of scouts so I chose it- didn't even see the seller.

Sorry Mike

omg
ball boys next

They already did the Rip Girls from the box breaking Rip Parties...why not Scouts?...haha

 

[lumm0x]

Yep. Could have been worse. It could be the Ripmaster clown. Head coaching greats and perhaps the odd HOFer from the contributor sector should be the stretch for non-athletes.

I guess Sports agents will be next.

I pulled a Fleer Devon Harris RC number to ten and autoed I was realy psyched until I realized it was the photographers auto.

Thanks

Ernie,
Hans pulled TWO of those scout autos in his box yesterday. I laughed my arse off! I guess Topps is trying to be "innovative" LOL
