Description: ONE OF MY FAVORITE PROFESSOR CARDS IN MY VAST GREG MADDUX COLLECTION----DONRUSS 2 OF 5 SIGNED GREG MADDUX 2005 PLAYOFF PRIME CUTS TIMELINE CARD. FUNNY STORY ON NOT ONLY THIS CARD BUT THE WHOLE PRIMECUTS TIMELINE AUTO SERIES. I AM NOT SURE HOW TRUE IT IS BUT I GUESS GREG HAD A DIFFICULT TIME SIGNING A GOOD PORTION (A VERY GOOD PORTION) OF THESE PLAYOFF VERSION CARDS AND COMPLAINED THE ENTIRE TIME ABOUT THE IN CUT NATURE OF THE CARDS AND THE CRAPPY PEN HE WAS GIVEN FOR THE TASK. NOT ONLY DID HE COMPLAIN BUT DEMANDED TO SIGN THEM OVER. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS HE LOST THE BATTLE AND THAT WAS THE END OF IT. THE TRUTH WAS THAT HE WAS NOT GETTING ANY BETTER AT SIGNING AND THE CUT NATURE OF THE CARDS MIGHT NOT OF BEEN THE ONLY REASON FOR THE DIFFICULT TIME. THE STORY GOES THAT BEFORE GREG COMPLETED THE SIGNING THAT HE AND THE AUTHENTICATOR WENT GOLFING AND GREG SHOT ONE OF THE BEST ROUNDS OF HIS LIFE. TO CELEBRATE GREG BOUGHT DRINKS FOR ALL AND AFTER HAVING ABOUT AS MANY AS HE STRIKES OUT IN A NIGHT, THE SIGNING WAS ON. AS I MENTIONED I AM NOT SURE ON THE VALIDITY OF THE STORY BUT OVER THE YEARS I HAVE LOOKED FOR AND PURCHASED AS MANY OF THE 2005 TIMELINE AND PLAYOFF PRIMECUT SERIES CARDS AS POSSIBLE AND WHEN LOOKING AT THE AUTOGRAFS ON THE CARDS THERE MIGHT JUST BE A LITTLE TRUTH IN THE STORY (THE AUTOS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO RUN ON THE CARDS BUT STAY IN THE CUT AREA). ON THIS CARD ALONG WITH A COUPLE OF THE OTHERS IF YOU LOOK AT THE PERFECT ANGLE YOU CAN FAINTLY SEE WHAT APPEARS TO BE A SHADOW OF A MUCH MUCH THINNER PEN STROKE!!!!! HAPPY BIDDING AND HAVE ONE (OR TWO) FOR THE LAST 300 GAME WINNER IN MLB. LAST IS IN BOTH PRESENT DAY AND FUTURE TIME!!!!!!!!
