Do any of these errors sale well?
Some do, some don’t. Again, the primary purpose of the blog is to provide checklist and set information for those collecting master sets or variations.
I have also noticed #200 Don Mattingly has a small portion of the black border in the lower right corner missing.
I have 2 more cards to add to the list of 1990 topps baseball.I actually have 4 error cards that I can’t find anything on any of them.2 are topps 1990 baseball 2 are proset 1990 football. With my luck the are not rare but if you are going for database they should be on it.email me if you want more info or pics of the cards.
I ran across this page and made a trip home at lunch to see if any of these popped out at me while glancing through my old cards that I just ran across recently. Just at a quick look, I noticed that #474 Rich Thompson has what appears to be a 0 (zero) printed on his right shoulder in the picture. It doesn’t appear to be something that I did when I was 13, but who know’s for sure! Do you think this may have been just a one time accident that is absolutely unimportant?
Just wondering if the bottom left corner of the “A” in All Star being cut off on the #406 Joe Magrane and the #395 Jeff Russell cards would be considered an error…?
Hi I just purchased 2,3box rack cases.I opened some of the racks and found some cards that dont have all the color in the name box almost all the color but at the very top to the name box some color is missing.I found this on #232 Darnell Coles,#525 WALLY JOYNER,#708 LARRY SHEETS,#741 STEVE WILSON,#763 DENNY MARTINEZ.Also on the DARNELL COLES card he has orange on the top of his helmet where MARINERS is.Have you seen or heard of these?
I have a Ken Griffey Jr AS “bloody scar” card. However, the bloody scar is green. Has anyone else ever seen this? I’ve looked at countless photos, and haven’t found another like it.
Every single copy in the entire print run (millions of the card) received the blemish on his arm. The tone differences are no different than every other ignored example of too much yellow, too much red, too much blue, etc etc. In your card’s case, it received too much blue and yellow and too little red. Like the fake market for the 1990 Fleer Jose Uribe and 1989 Donruss Alex Madrid, there is no true range of sales for this card as most high dollar completed listings are not true sales and the result of market manipulation.
I have found a Carlton Fisk 392 that is missing most of the white ink on the back of the card. I can not find another one like it or there is no mention anywhere online or another. I don’t see how the “whiteless” is any different than tje “blackless”
Hi Paul,
I don’t think 1990 Topps backs contain any white, just dark gray cardstock color. If you mean that the Fisk you have is all yellow with no cardstock visible, that is the result of the yellow ink running over the area meant to stay gray. This is a known print flaw that affects several cards in 1990 Topps. And yes, so are the blackless cards but your misprint is caused by the opposite issue as the blackless cards.
Well part of the white is on the card. Part of the Topps logo is white but not all of it. This the same error as the black on the front of the blackless.
