Topps - what's with having Gary Brown autographs in every product?
I seemed to pull this guy in every topps product.
2015 Topps Career High Autograph
2015 Allen and Ginter
2015 Finest
Bowman Platinum
Etc
Has he made it to the MLB...the last time I googled this guy he is no longer on the Giants.

He did make it up for a cup of coffee with the Giants late last year, but didn't stick. Giants eventually released him and he was picked up on waivers a couple different times, but as far as I know, he's without a team right now. My guess is they had him sign all that stuff before the Giants released him, so they just stuck it in the products anyway.

Was at the LCS discussing how much he sucked (we were arguing about who has had the more productive farm system, a's vs. Giants). I then bought a box of '15 Finest, and no lie, pulled a base auto and a blue auto of none other than... Gary brown, as my two hits.
Both are on their way to comc... I'll be lucky to get $4 between them.

Topps marketing believes that collectors are buying their $100+ boxes to pull a Gary Brown auto as the hit! "I cannot wait to get the upcoming 2015 topps five star and Dynasty of Gary Brown!"
"Look Jack! Jill pulled a Patch Auto of Gary Brown from 2015 Dynasty"

In 2010 I pulled some Bowman Sterling Gary Brown and I have had many inquiries about getting the card. Now no-one wants him. hmmm maybe I should have traded or sold the card.

Ugh. He is in chrome too?
That may be enough to keep me from buying boxes.
