Upper Deck Taking A Shot At Bonds

I found this on ebay and beckett.com confirms the card is legit. UD Sweet Spot has an Asterisk insert. Here is the auction:

First glance I thought someone upper decked it at Bonds' house.

 

Interesting card. It seems that baseball cards have fallen so far that they are now having to resort to "accidentally" slipping a card into circulation and then only having a very small number in circulation.

No, it says "taking a shot" at Bonds!

I'll admit, I always wanted to go upper deck at someone's house, but I never disliked anyone that much.

Yeah, this is a really lame effort to drum up interest. I don't think it would be beyond them to be artificially inflating the auction price so that it gets some airtime on ESPN or Deadspin. I bet they'll make up some story about a "disgruntled former employee" messing with their equipment, or something equally ridiculous.
