Which HOF Basketball player forgot who he was?
Posted by Steve

udcard2.jpgDid anyone notice this card on eBay a while ago? I didn't record the auction number so I can't send you a link or anything, but I saved the image and thought it would be fun to post it. Did Magic think he was Larry Bird or did Larry Bird think he was Magic?

I don't think anyone would be complaining about getting an Ultimate Collection Quad Signature of Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson numbered 1/5, but it's crazy that it isn't signed in the right place. The first instinct is to think someone at Upper Deck stuck the stickers in the wrong place, but this is an on-card autograph.

It basically means one of them signed in the wrong place and the final guy to sign it must have thought, "hey, that moron signed his name in my spot...I guess I'll just use the last open spot."

It kinda reminds me of the joke my dad always used to tell me as a child. He would say that he had these two horses and couldn't tell them apart. So he shaved one's mane, but it grew back. Then he tied a ribbon around one, but it fell off. Then he did something else (you'd think I'd remember after hearing it roughly 400 times), but that difference soon went away too. Then he measured them and found out that the white horse was two inches taller than the black horse. Yeah, not funny, but a decent analogy of this card.
