2012 Topps Platinum #152 "The Oddity" series 1

[hayn]

To my fellow forum members,

I am perplexed! I found an auction for a 2012 Topps Platinum Auto Black Refractor Bo Levi Mithchell. Who is he? And why card #152? The Platinum list ends with none other than Andrew Luck at card #150. So who is #151? This is one of those subjects that can be part of the Allen Ginters oddity cards! Check it out below, and if anyone has any info besides what I've found via Google, let me know.

Bo Levi Mitchell (born March 3, 1990)[1] is a Canadian football quarterback for the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League. He played in college at Eastern Washington.

Found this not sure what the deal with the card number is.

Thank you bobjah!

Now, why would Topps add a CFL player?
Why card #152?
Who is card #151?

Too many questions, not enough answers! I'll send Ryan Craknell an email to see if he has any info.

Well, I have found the answer. Rookie Auto Checklist goes up to card #166. Please see the list above. Why a CFL player? He was part of the 2012 draft class, he did not get picked. He became a free agent and went into the CFL.

There are several American college grads that play in the CFL.

If they don't get drafted by the NFL (or get dropped in preseason) many will tryout for CFL teams.

Central Michigan's own Dan LeFevour springs to mind. He was actually drafted by the Bears, bounced through a few NFL teams (Bengals, Colts & Jaguars) & landed in Canada. Last I heard, he was with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
