Hard To Find Bobby V Card Is A Collectors Dream

For this week I asked Andrew over at SportsCardForum to hook me up with one of the most hard to find Mets cards he had and he came up with this little gem from 2001.  This is a Fleer "Masters of Disguise" card featuring Bobby Valentine.

For those too young or too drunk to remember, Bobby like to get tossed from games and return wearing various disguises.  What makes this card special is that if features a swatch of one of Bobby's game used mustaches.  This card is one of only 4 ever printed due to the limited amount of access Fleer had to those little fake mustaches.

Apparently Bobby only used two of these things and Fleer was only able to obtain one of them.  The other has apparently been sent to Cooperstown for use in their "Great Moments Of Jackassery" exhibit.
