1981 PERMA-GRAPHICS MIKE SCHMIDT SUPER STAR CREDIT CARD
Owned ✅, PSA Grade: 8
Snarky Says
Somewhere a collector looked at a fake credit card and thought, "Yes. This belongs in my master set.”
1981 PHILLIES TEAM ISSUED PHOTO CARD MIKE SCHMIDT
Owned ✅
This card came with a cool form letter from Schmidt (originally addressed to the seller, Tony) dated May 18, 1981 — one month before a 50-day strike that cancelled more than 700 games.

Before "likes," "follows," and verified checkmarks, fans wrote letters, waited patiently, and sometimes got a photo and a typed thank-you in return. Honestly... I'm not convinced we improved the system.

Apparently this unlicensed set is actually fake, but there must not have been many printed. I’ve never seen one listed for sale.
Snarky Says
Collecting is the only hobby where a fake item can become so rare that people get upset they can't find one. This card somehow managed to fail every qualification test except rarity.
1981 SQUIRT MIKE SCHMIDT
Owned ✅, PSA Grade: 8
The perfect combination of colorful and weird, Squirt shunned current photos and went with the '76 man perm Schmidt. I'm so happy this card exists.
Snarky Says
This is less a baseball card and more a celebration of questionable decisions.

1981 SQUIRT MIKE SCHMIDT-8/JIM RICE-7 PANEL WITH AD
Not owned ❌
The photo shows the panel with Buckner. I've never seen the one with just Schmidt and Rice. Each have a PSA population of one. I'd say that points to these being promos, but it's hard to say. It doesn't seem realistic to find either one for a reasonable price. The three-panel version is listed on eBay for $1,300. Nah, pass.

The hobby's greatest skill is turning obscurity into a luxury good. Some cards are worth chasing. Others are worth admiring from a safe financial distance.
