Ahoy, mateys! A fresh treasure of a John Elway card be settin’ sail, but ‘tis no tale of gridiron glory! Nay, this swashbucklin’ card be showin’ the ol’ sea dog in a Yankees garb! What blasphemy be this? A pirate’s jests be runnin’ wild! Arrr!

Ahoy matey! Lend me yer ears and put down ye grog, for I be bringin’ news from the realm of sports trading treasures! Topps be unveil’n a new card of the grand John Elway, a legend o’ the gridiron, but hold ye horses! What if he had swung a bat instead, and donned the stripes of the New York Yankees? Aye, that be the tale they be tellin’!

In a twist o’ fate, Elway was drafted by the Yankees back in '81, six spots ahead of the great Tony Gwynn! Imagine that! Topps be kickin' off this card release with the help of none other than the infamous Stephen A. Smith, havin’ a chinwag with Elway about how he was chosen over Gwynn. And who could forget the crafty George Steinbrenner, played by the comedic Larry David, banterin' about Elway’s arm strength like it were a treasure map!

Picture the scene, ye landlubbers! Steinbrenner be dreamin’ of Elway’s name shining bright next to DiMaggio and Ruth at Yankee Stadium! Aye, 'tis a card that whispers, "What might have been could be yours," a grand jest of “What Ifs.” Elway, he had his chance in the Yankees’ minor league, but fate swung him to the Denver Broncos where he became a legend instead! Arrr, the winds of fortune be fickle! So hoist yer sails and grab this card, before it sets sail into legend!
