What Santa Brought Me


I don’t normally receive much for Christmas, I will get some candy and a $50 check from my parents. For me, it is all about my children, but that doesn’t mean I don’t spoil myself occasionally. This year, with the help of a Mastercard discount and eBay coupon codes, I picked up a 2013 Finest UFC Grill Gear Gray Maynard fight used mouth guard. 



This is the thickest standard sized card I have ever seen, I would guess well over 600 pt. thickness because it fits the entire mouth guard. It is solid Lucite too, probably weighing about 6 oz.

  2. Wow, I don't think I've seen one that thick. It is hard to believe that there would be a card with a mouth guard inside.

  3. At what point do you call it a brick with a card? The thing is huge.

  4. Oh wow! I'd heard of these, but mostly horror stories about Topps' failure to actually produce them. Cool to see a real one in the wild! Congrats!

    1. The 2013 cards have a 2015 copyright so it took them a couple of years to figure it out. I don't understand why they advertised them without knowing how to create them.

  5. Crack it open, swab the DNA and clone the man!

  6. That is one large card...I assume they don't make a pocket page for it!

  7. Holy cow. That is a first and I have never seen, nor heard of these. Dang. And a 1 of 1 to boot!

  8. Glad you treated yourself to something for the holidays. I'm a firm believer in that. These must have been redemptions originally, right? How the heck would they put these into packs?

    1. They were redemption and based on the 2015 copyright, it took a couple of years of waiting for somebody. Though if I had pulled a redemption for one, I happily would have waited.

  9. It seems like this is more sealed memorabilia than card, still neat though, and very different!
