	Further, on a March 2021 edition of [https://youtu.be/aGmEFQmztz4 The Essential Credentials Podcast], the former CEO of Pacific, Mike Cramer, spoke about the infamous Manny Ramirez card. He dispelled the myth that some believed for years that the card/controversy led to Pacific's exit from the baseball card business (it did not have any impact on Pacific's decision to stop producing baseball cards) and elaborated further on the Ramirez card. Specifically, Cramer stated that Pacific purchased a couple Ramirez game-used bats from a very reputable source, cut them up, produced the cards, then prepared the cards for distribution. After the cards were packed/distributed, he then found out that some of Ramirez's Game Gear cards featured a swatch of the bat along with some cork. Cramer estimated that six of these corked bat Ramirez cards exist and there was nothing Pacific could do to prevent the distribution of them. Cramer also stated that Ramirez years later admitted using corked bats.
