2008 Topps Fanfest Exclusive Factory Bonus 5-Card Set ($2.99 delivered!)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260605111932

I absolutely love the design of this set, and had wanted it ever since I saw the press release on Topps website nearly 2 years ago. I was really looking forward to going to the Fanfest that year and picking these up in person but ended up cancelling last minute.

Believe it or not there aren't many sets featuring the "core four" Yankee greats...Mantle has been a Topps exclusive and DiMaggio has been with UD for many years. Needless to say I am very happy to land these for around what one-way Subway fare would have cost me to get to the Javitz center.

A realy steal in my book! Now I just have to find the other half of the set...
