Free Stuff Friday: Unlicensed Bootleg Realm

More free stuff for you, if you dare!

On offer today are some truly bizarre cards that come from the realm of unlicensed card manufacturers that sell on Amazon/overseas. I honestly couldn't tell you much about these cards other than that they were purchased on the big stupid site and they appear to be Japanese in origin (or at least the "manufacturer" seems to be.) I wrote a little bit about these cards in a previous PWE recap. These will be sent out along with anything else claimed in last month's Free Stuff in the next week or so.

The cards are all trading card shaped (standard sized, rounded borders and very thin) and have various background patterns. The primary theme is gold, GOLD, G-O-L-D.

All of the backs look like this, although I've seen a few listings on eBay with different background patterns but similar player selection.

There are a bunch of bizarre player/team identification issues in the set. I'm offering up the leftovers of stuff I didn't already sneakily insert into trade envelopes over the past year or two. I also recently purchased a similar NBA set which disappointingly only had a couple of egregious errors. If there's any interest there, I could also put some of those up grabs on a future Friday.

CLAIMED: Harper, Arraez

As always, click to embiggen. Dansby Swanson gets the full name treatment here.

CLAIMED: Stargell

Here's a good example of some of the strange player selection. Stars, HOFers and journeyman relievers.

CLAIMED: Acuña, Horner

Here's the first two two Acuña cards along with a reverse Bob Horner.

Dansby reappears without his legal first name and in a different uniform. We also get everyone's favorite "Alexander Emmanuel" and Acuña #2.
