Cashman is the General Manager and President of the Yankees. These cards even have their ?Print Runs? on them. For Alexander, it is 50, while the remaining two have 100 each.

Mostly, fans were unaware of this issue until a Tweet recently revealed the fact with the last price, one of these cards sold for.

These are the Short-Printed cards with not more than 50 prints available. There have been no further sales reported for these cards since 2018.
