I was working on scans tonight, and I discovered something that had somehow escaped my notice before. One of my 1994-95 Finests has a bug squished between the protective peel and the card itself. I normally don't care about flying bugs too much, but for some reason this is creeping me out.
I didn't find it until I had already made the scan and was editing it, either.
I hesitate to post the scan, but I could. Maybe some bug fan would trade me a bug-free version. Where's our resident bug collector? Have not seen him on in a while.
I think I'm going to work on something else now.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

Billy, I read an article about that. It happens occasionally, wish I can find the piece.

We'll have to create an "Insect" parallel. Or maybe multiple parallels depending on the different species of insects.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

Is that considered an on-card bug autograph. :)

That is what I was thinking. The razor cards is a fake and your card is real. cash in!!
It would be cool to see it. can you post the scan?

What is that behind you!?! Oh, It's me! Looking at the cards you have, That I want. :)

Is it a silverfish? The bane of newspaper and cardboard collectors!. I hate them. Every so often they pop up in my house. Wouldn't be from having tens of thousand of pieces of cardboard know as sportscards?

Maybe they have but they didn't have a parallel "remains"? variant. Would it be a 1/1 or did they produce a few more?
