What an Unfortunate Tobias Harris Card
A Tobias Harris jersey card from a Panini Flawless box is going viral because there’s a huge “BUM” right below his image. The Clippers jersey sponsor is Bumble. Someone had to know what they were doing right? –
Is this Tobias Harris sports card real? If so, Jimmy Butler probably wants to buy it. pic.twitter.com/PILCwJ6AZg

I asked our social media guy Dave why Panini would put a Clippers jersey piece in a card with Tobias Harris in a Sixers uniform and he said sometimes these cards have patches on them. It was bad placement from Panini that Bumble was a Clippers sponsor and that’s the patch/section they happened to pick for this card. And sometimes when a player is traded, card companies will just upgrade the photo of the player and keep the jersey patch the same. These Panini Flawless boxes retail for like $20,000. The cards can sometimes come in a silver titanium briefcase. Some of the cards have diamonds in them. The Tobias Harris “BUM” card just paid for the entire box. People love error cards. Add this one to the Error Card Hall of Fame right next to Billy Ripken’s “Fuck Face” card:

You can find some Frank Thomas “No Name” cards fetching $2,700 on eBay:
It is believed only 500 to 1000 of these made it off the production line. The 1990 Frank Thomas No Name error card is truly iconic and we just had the privilege of grading one! pic.twitter.com/nRRQxKynD5
