Last week, Leaf tried to be the first to market with Andrew Luck cards that catered to the instant gratification of the hobby. Unfortunately for them, there was a major error in the production of the cards themselves, with a spelling error being a determining factor in cancelling their eBay onslaught planned for the product.

39 of the cards were sold before Leaf took down the auctions, and in a move I fail to understand, they will be fufilling those cards for those lucky and quick handed people who bought them. Therefore, instead of 350 Luck cards hitting the market, there will only be 39 with the error and 350 more with the correction. As you can imagine, these cards have become quite the commodity in the days following the mess up.

In my opinion, this is something that should never have happened, but it is very much the handywork of a guy like Brian Gray. He definitely has a reputation of pushing the envelope, and instead of just refunding cash, he is deciding to push it even further.

In the end, these error cards will go down with all the other famous errors of the hobby, and the eventual release of the Luck cards will not be that important in the grand scheme of things. I think that the prices are shocking to say the least, but at least something is going to come of it.
