Five separate Michael Vick cards from the recently released Topps Chrome Football set have sold on eBay in the past week. That's noteworthy because Topps had announced in early August that it was removing all of Vick’s cards from the remainder of its 2007 product line, and Topps Chrome was the first product scheduled to be affected by that decision.

Three base cards from the set (No. 111) sold for $405, $350 and $290, respectively in the last week of September. A Refractor version sold for $365 and a rarer Blue Refractor version sold for $500. Another base card from the set is for sale in an auction that ends Thursday.

Topps public relations manager Clay Luraschi said the company does not know how many Vick cards had made it into the product or how they ended up in packs. “This was obviously done unintentionally,” he said. “We are currently looking into the manufacturing process of this product to determine what may have happened.”
