Topps To Release Special Gary Matthews Card

It's been a while since we had a good ol' fashioned Gum Stain Saturday but today Andrew over at Sports Card Forum returns with news of a soon to be released insert card from Topps.  It seems Topps has announced that they will be releasing a set of cards honoring useless players with bloated contracts. 

The set called "Weak Performance" is a spin-off of their Peak Performance relic cards.  Each card will honor a great underachiever and feature a piece of his actual salary.  Who else to lead the series than our own Gary Matthews Jr.  GMJ is featured on card WP1 shown on the right.

According to Andrew, the real value in these cards is how worthless they actually are.  In many cases the sliver of money is worth more than the card itself.  He expects collectors to remove the money and toss the card in the garbage.  Much like the Mets did with the real GMJ.
