I wonder who can come up with the longest actual card name?

Example:
2010 Topps Update Box Topper Rookie Redemption Refractor
(If thats really a actual card),.you get the drift,..

Have to fall back on all your card knowledge for sure,.
Thats 7 words to descibe that one,..

Could be fun,..

I'll start it off

2005 Topps All time Fan Favorites Best Seat in the House Stadium Seat Ripken/Robinson
 
If you are counting names:

2007 SP Rookie Threads SP Multi Marks Autographs Eight JGGBHHW Calvin Johnson/Ted Ginn Jr./Anthony Gonzalez/Dwayne Bowe/Jason Hill/Johnnie Lee Higgins/Paul Williams/Yamon Figurs
 
I guess because its my thread I'll make a rule,..
Player names don't count,..there are 8 swatch GU's a penty out there,.

Just the card name counts,..and "All Star" has to be two seperate words on the card,..

Heres one:
1997 Bowman's Best Mirror Image Inverted Atomic Refractor,..
I'm still working on getting past 7 words,..lol

If names don't count, the "2010 Topps Update The Cards Your Mom Threw Out Original Backs" are the longest I can think of. Some of them took up more than one line on my word document that I put type my PC inserts and stuff onto (depending on how long the name is).

The 2010 Topps 206 "Historical Events" set can get lengthy with the descriptions for each of the cards (ex. President Taft Inaugurated during 10 Inch Snowstorm).
 
Mickey Mantle The Cards Your Mom Threw Out 1952 Original Back
Tom Seaver The Cards Your Mom Threw Out 1972 Original Back
Paul Molitor The Cards Your Mom Threw Out 1979 Original Back

Heres one:
1997 Bowman's Best Mirror Image Inverted Atomic Refractor,..

Awwwww c'mon man, you're just not trying hard enough :D

There's tons of stuff like.....
1998 score rookie and traded epix all star moment purple
 
A quick one that I can think of:
2004 Leaf Exhibits 1962-63 Stat Back Black Name Right Second Edition #48 Tony Gwynn
or
2006 Greats of the Game Bat Barrel Auto Greats Printing Plates Cyan #TG Tony Gwynn

Still doesn't beat 12, but it's close. ;)

Thats 12 also,..we have a tie so far,.

I should have make this a contest,..maybe still will with a Mod's help,..

I'm gonna guess the longest will be something from Absolute. Just the starting point is 6 words ! I don't know how they're listed nowadays but if you add in "Playoff" that's 7 from the get go and also makes bravesfansunite's the longest so far.
 
Absolute Mem does have a good starting point, but so does

2004 Leaf Certified Materials Fabric of the Game Autograph Jersey Year M's Jsy

Because Rickey is featured with 5 or so different teams in the set, Beckett was kind enough to put the team in there (on lots of different sets). Why does it say Jersey and Jsy? Well, that's a great mystery. :D Anyway, LCMFotG is a good set to look at for this thread.

Leaf Exhibits 1947-66 Made by Donruss-Playoff Signature Second Edition ... another good set with long names. Good call lprimus!

I know we're not counting names, but how about this one?

2004 Playoff Honors Quad Material Combo Lou Brock Bat-Jsy- Rickey Bat-Jsy-Stan Musial Bat-Jsy-Tony Gwynn Bat Jsy

Beckett put their names, but also a "bat jsy" for each of them. If you discount the names it leaves 13 words!

Playoff Prime Cuts II MLB Icons Material Combo Prime Padres Jsy-Pants

If only they hadn't been so lazy and just spelled out "Major League Baseball". Work with me here! ;)


Here is my big pick, a little something from my personal collection (I got all of those above from my wantlist)...

2005 Playoff Absolute Memorabilia Tool of the Trade Swatch Six Prime Red Mets Bat-Hat-Jacket-Jersey-Pants-Shoes 54 #1/1 :eek:

and since nobody else seems to be counting things like teams and materials like that, this one might be the longest I have that fits within those guidelines...

2005 Playoff Absolute Memorabilia Tool of the Trade Auto Swatch Single Jumbo Prime Black Mets Jsy 54 #1/1

If you add the manufacturer thats 13,..

2005 Playoff Absolute Memorabilia Tool of the Trade Auto Swatch Single Jumbo Prime

That was submitted by RyanL24,..

If this was a contest I would give it to Bravesfansunite so far for submitting it first.I added the manufacturer to correct it.

Who can hit 14 words?
