Should you happen to open a pack and find a Japanese fellow whom Topps calls "Kazuo 'The Uzi' Uzuki" (never mind that "Uzuki" is just a nonsensical name...it's not even a word in Japanese) and claims hits 104 mph with his fastball on average, this is their latest joke. Unlike Poley Walnuts the Squirrel or Rudy with the Red Sox, I actually kinda like this one. We now finally have a guy we can call "The Japanese Sidd Finch." The card is actually part of the "create your own card" promotion and does have some merit unlike some of its prankish predecessors. If Topps wishes to keep playing jokes on the hobbyist, I would say this has been their high point and they should make their annual prank something along the lines of this.

I pulled this card in a pack last week. It was vaguely amusing, but still stupid.CLEVELAND INDIANS Central Division Champions

Is Topps the only publically traded company currently being run by 8 year olds?

Eh, I thought it was funny (especially compared to some of the garbage Topps gave us). Then again, I'm a big fan of the Sidd Finch article and thought it was sort of a tribute to Finch."They put me in the Hall of Fame? They must really be scraping the bottom of the barrel!"

Mythical SF Chronicle scouting report: "That Jeff runs like a deer. Unfortunately, he also hits AND throws like one." I am Venus DeMilo - NO ARM! I can play like a big leaguer, I can field like Luzinski, run like Lombardi. The secret to managing is keeping the ones who hate you away from the undecided ones. I am a triumph of quantity over quality. I'm almost useful, every village needs an idiot.

I actually never bust Topps packs, but always buy the complete set. UD on the other hand, I like opening up."They put me in the Hall of Fame? They must really be scraping the bottom of the barrel!"

If this card is, indeed, part of Topps' Custom Trading Cards offer, I don't see how cards created there wind up in packs. They're not going to print extras above and beyond what Joe Sixpack orders and put them in their retail or hobby packs, right?Originally posted by Dalkowski110 View Post
