TOP 10 ERROR CARDS in Baseball That Matter 

I love these little anecdotes, I know there's collectors who regularly open these 90 Topps boxes hoping to find one. I've still never seen someone pull one in a video though...maybe one day with a vending box!

Very interesting, I'm not into hockey but that sounds like a fun box to open just because you have to pay so much attention

L999o9o

I have a whole box if these i guess I need to recheck them. Tks

If there are that many errors, the correction is actually the error!

@@David-fv7zg But the intended "corrections" are also errors. lol, they couldn't get anything right. And like I pointed out in my OP a couple of months ago - collectors are still finding errors to this very day 35 years later, lol.. Either way it would be quite challenging to complete a master set, but if you're up for challenges that set is highly recommended.

Good question, depends on what the error is I guess. There's lots of sports cards forums out there with tons of really knowledge people on specific cards. Blow Out Cards forum could be a great place to start

Now you've got me curious....

Well it's tough to explain lol. I've collected since about 8yrs old. Primarily baseball but I have football and basketball. After checking out some vids, thought I'd check out my stuff. Wow!

Then found this reggie white 1994 sp. With the error card (both in a protective case) this error card seriously looks like the machine went haywire. Sp stripe on the left side on card and slightly sideways, 25% showing reggie white but the right side showing a different player and different team and the back showing presumably same different player but with another different team.

Is there a value to this at all? I can't imagine there being more as I think someone in the collection world wouldn't be able to keep it quiet... in the past 30 years. Lmk your thoughts. Thx

@krisbeavers954 this sort of example is a bit more rare, but I still categorize it similarly to examples that numerous collectors have brought up on this video where a player's card is printed with the wrong back. In these cases the hobby treats it more like a printing malfunction rather than an error card. An error card is reserved more for a single card that was printed one way for a while, and then at some point it got corrected and the rest of the cards were "fixed". In your case it's just a random printing issue and not an "error" vs "fixed" card. Cards with wrong backs are sometimes collectible if the player on the front is a star and they have a good following, but I think your example wouldn't be as desired because it's not a full card...more of a cut-off card that's mixed with another. So even though it might be more rare than a straight wrong- back card, I think most collectors wouldn't jump at it. Hope that helps

I'm actually going to everyone I subscribe right now to unsubscribe everyone else so I don't get it mixed up with your show. I only need one person to give me my information

Lol...thanks for the compliments. Always happy to hear when viewers are able to get a lot of good information out of whatever I have to share! Hope you check out my other videos :)

For sure, there's definitely some novelty stuff that some collectors will look for! Good memories of all those stupid junk wax errors

Great points, you are correct that there is a market with vintage set collectors that are looking to complete the entire run, but I would say that's a much smaller part of the hobby so these error cards you mentioned are not as mainstream as others

@@brutusonbaseball maybe not, I just know with those that do the set registry, some count so that competition can aid in the sales and desirability. The white letter variations and the Washington ones especially so

@@brutusonbaseball I will say those early 80s sets having an those errors made trying to build that master set more enjoyable.

I can imagine, the sense of accomplishment after completing those sets with all the error variations must have felt amazing!

Depends on what you've got. If you can't find info by just googling it, there's some really great baseball cards forums out there where you can put a question to the group and if someone's seen it before you can get info

@@brutusonbaseball maybe that is what is best, to be honest it would be way better to just show a picture of it. To try and explain it, it’s 1980 Rick Dempsey Topps but his name is only about 20% visible due to a cut off and the name Ron Leflore at about 60-70% on there

That sounds like an interesting one, not something you see very often. Sounds like another printing process issue, but a rather unique one. You can post photos when you ask questions on these forum sites, so that might help to identify is anyone else has run into it before. I know Blowout Cards has a good one with lots of knowledgeable folks

@@brutusonbaseball thank you!!

@@brutusonbaseball is a 1990 Juan Gonzalez with the reverse negative AND no period after the inc, really nice?

Very cool, is it labeled correctly by PSA? if not, then you can often send it in on their dime to get the label corrected

That's a really great one, and surprisingly one that no one seems to have commented on with all the views this video has received! Especially since it's a Hall of Fame player. I find a couple things really interesting about this one. First is that it's almost exclusively referred to as the "Reverse Cubs Logo" error version, where the logo is pretty clearly upside down, not reversed. Semantics I know, but in a hobby where so many collectors love the details, I'm always surprised about this one. Second is that there's not a huge disparity between prices on the error and corrected versions. If you look at the PSA pop reports, there appears to be a higher population of the corrected version, but the error version only goes for about 50% more, if that. I would have expected it to be higher, especially after Smith got into the Hall of Fame, but maybe there's just not enough people that know about it...?

What an amazing pickup! That's a visit well worth taking to the antique shop!

No kidding, I remember that especially with 1990 Donruss! My first year of collecting was 1988, but I just dabbled until 1990 when I went all in on the hobby. I opened so many packs of Donruss looking for random errors like missing trademarks or periods in addition to the reverse negative Gonzalez that was so hard to find! Turns out that 99% of them didn't turn out to be meaningful...

That is one tough one to find, lots of collectors have looked for years without much luck. You never know what else you might have though!

Absolutely, wish I could like this comment more than once! This has been the most common question I've been asked about this video...printing flaws are not really error cards at all. That means wrong or blank fronts or backs, miscuts, etc. Flawed cards are not really interesting to anyone other than a very specific player collector, and even then it's hit and miss whether someone will care much. Thanks for the comment!

They are all over on ebay. Listing card with 9 error variations and then circling and using an arrow to show the flaws, oops I mean errors. Lol my favorite is the 1990 donruss no dot after the INC error. 1 cent card selling for $250. Thanks for the video!

Those 90 Donruss variations! What a pain!

OK, so I answered someone else on this video with respect to printing errors like wrong backs or blank backs. I won't go through the whole explanation again, but essentially these printing mistakes aren't really seen as errors because they are at random and based on the manufacturing process alone. Error cards that have value are typically seen as one version that is consistently produced with a specific mistake, and then a corrected version that fixes that specific error. All that said, the only time where I have seen printing errors like this one you mention worth anything is if the player is highly collectible and the card itself is one that player's highly collectible cards. You potentially have that in Bo Jackson + his most sought after rookie card. I'm not saying this particular card is really worth more because of the wrong back, but what I would say is that it *MAY* be worth something to a person that collects Bo Jackson and likes to look for different versions of his cards, including wrong back or errors. To decide if it's worth grading, I would ask myself two questions: 1) Is it in really good condition, and 2) can I find someone interested in buying it? If it's for your own collection, then you can decide that, but if you're grading it to sell, I would make sure your answer is yes for both of those questions before grading it. Hope that helps!

@@commiehunter733 cool cards, especially that reverse negative Juan Gonzalez. That one fell just outside my Top 10

Triple error Uribe?! Priceless I'm sure

Very interesting...can't say I'm surprised with how common these cards are, yet how difficult it is to find some of the variations. Especially when it's as easy as putting some whiteout on the bat knob to fool some people!

That's an interesting one. A good rule of thumb is if it's a one time printing flaw, then probably not worth much. If it's a common error that was fixed at some point during production, so there's essentially one error version vs one corrected version, then that's usually worth something. Pence was a nice player, but not a huge star, so that doesn't help with the value. One of my favorite baseball related articles of all time though was Grant Brisbee's article about fake scouting reports. Pence was the highlight...go google it if you haven't seen it!

Wow, that is a CRAZY Bonds collection, especially to do it exclusively. So much dedication there! Did you have any of the Johnny Ray versions? That comment is one of the reasons I made this video. There's SO many error cards out there and most of them don't mean much of anything, especially if they were never corrected, but people try to sell them as if they're important. And on the other end you have some important error cards that people may not realize what they have. A bit of education hopefully goes a long way. It is fun to see all the different types of error cards, and you are a good example of the type of collector that might enjoy a random error or blank or wrong back card

I have a few bonds error cards specifically the Topps 450 multiple error card 1988 . Its most distinct error is his neck line on his jersey is red instead of yellow

It's available if interested

No I don't have any specific knowledge of this card. This is an example of a printing defect, albeit a fairly rare one with both a blurry front and blank back. The issue here is that they're considered to be printing defects rather than true error cards. The difference is with printing defects the issue occurred on a specific day with a specific printer and got fixed, while some cards did get released into the wild. Error cards are when there was an actual mistake by the card company that was regular enough to make the same error pervasive, and then at some point that error got noticed and fixed. Cards with printing defects don't typically have much of a market, but they sometimes can for set collectors or big star player collectors. You just need to find someone interested in the specific thing you have, which isn't always easy to do.

Much better back than front! This is a flawed card though instead of an error card, lots of comments here on this if you need more explanation

Thanks, Brutus. I appreciate you.

Will do my best. I'm comfortable with baseball, but being in front of a camera and all the tech is not my forte!

That's an interesting one...those wrong backs can be common to find, but already graded a PSA 10 is different. Wrong backs are not really considered an error since there wasn't one version that later got corrected...they are considered more like a print defect. Does the label identify it as a wrong back error? If it doesn't, I would reach out to PSA to ask about getting the label changed. There's likely more value in having a PSA 10 card of Rickey than there is in it having the wrong back, but to a die hard Rickey collector it might have more value.

Great point, for whatever reason there's not a whole lot of story around that one

It's his second year rookie cup card from 2002. Not that rare

What would you like to know? To me this would fit into the category of a flawed card rather than an "error" card. Flawed cards have printing errors or wrong backs due to a mistake in the printing process, whereas error cards typically have a single "error" version followed by a "corrected" version. Cards that have wrong or blank backs aren't typically valued like error cards, but they can have a market when the specific player or card is a key one. You have both of those with not only a Hall of Fame player, but his best rookie card as well! There's not many people that collect these types of cards, but Sandberg collectors are a good place to go looking if you want to sell. It's not easy to find information on wrong back cards...PSA doesn't have any registered at all that I could find, but SGC does keep track and has graded 14 wrong back versions vs. 2,300+ of the standard Sandberg rookie cards. This of course is biased because there won't be as many versions sent in for grading with the wrong backs vs. the standard rookie versions, but it does show that there have been some graded. You just have to find the right group of collectors looking for this specific card!

Unfortunately, these cards that have the wrong backs, blank backs, upside down backs, etc. are fairly common to find across many sets and many years. For that reason, they're usually not that popular or worth much. They're seen as random printing mistakes rather than true errors that had an incorrect version and a corrected version. Sometimes you'll find a collector that wants these cards because they love a specific set or collect a specific player. Not too many of those for junk wax like 1990 Fleer, but you might get lucky and find a Frank Thomas superfan that wants all the versions out there. Short of that, there's just not much of a market out there for them.

Can you elaborate? I don't recall...did I talk about 4SC in this video?

Haha, glad you enjoyed it! Unfortunately that's the only voice I've got, but perhaps I need to learn to project it differently...

The whole debacle Fleer went through to try and fix the problem probably drew way more attention to cigarettes than leaving the ad ever would have. But I've heard that the owners of Fleer at the time were Super religious family that were embarrassed by the Ripken and Randy "errors", so they kind of took it as their duty to fix what they saw as problems they were responsible for.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! I'm not sure if cracking you up is a good or bad thing since I'm not a comedian....but I'll take it :)

That's awesome, finding errors can certainly be fun for your own collection, even if there's not a lot of value to them! Thanks for promoting my video on your channel, always appreciated!

No, the 87 Topps card is not an error card. It would be accurately labeled a misprint because part of the "3" in the card number 320 on the back is missing ink. Not only is it not an error, it doesn't even have a corrected version because Topps never noticed or cared enough to fix it

I'm not sure what cards exactly you're talking about, but I highly doubt some of the older cards were intentional. The Ripken I could see being the most likely to have been intentional, but the vintage in this video and most other junk wax era I don't think is likely. The 89 Upper Deck was a new company with so many mistakes, I doubt the Murphy or Sheffield would have been intentional. The Frank Thomas NNOF I've heard a lot of people rumor was intentional, but it pretty obviously wasn't with the other cards on the sheet missing the black and Frank not even being one of the biggest prospects going into that season.

I agree the hobby has turned into nothing more than a rich man’s investment game. Boxes of 4 cards that sell for 25k out the door with these staged “box break” videos. Ridiculous “grading”. Nothing cool about that. Just as bad as NFTs and it’s sad. However, I don’t think the errors (at least the old ones) were intended.

@@brutusonbaseball I think he is talking about logo swaps missing name plates. Intentionally adding errors

Didn't forget it, just didn't think it was in the top 10 of most important. Great story though, Sy Berger at Topps had inside information that Bump would be traded from the Rangers to the Blue Jays, so he told his team to change the team name on the card accordingly. The trade fell through though, but not before Topps had already started printing cards assuming it was a done deal!

That's an oddball one, definitely would be desirable to anyone that' a hardcore Bench collector!

Best power hitter I ever saw. We all got opinions.

Very true, there's no doubt he was a great player and hitter. The way I see it is that PEDs were rampant throughout the league, he and at least half the players were probably doing something. He was still one of the best of them.

I definitely remember opening a ton of 1990 Donruss packs looking for that Juan Gonzalez reverse negative...would have been a much more important card had his career turned out better. The Ripken was so iconic though it didn't matter how bad Billy Ripken was!

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! Go Mariners!

It came down to those two cards for the "last" spot. I decided to go with the Gordon to expand the story a bit rather than focusing so much on the Era between 1989-1991 that has SO many errors. The Juan would have made a bigger impact had be finished with a better career

​@brutusonbaseball in his career he batted 295, over 1400 RBI, 434 homer's, just 16 seasons. Not too shabby. One day he'll be a HOF, then he'll make your list, i just know it....L😮L

Fair enough, his career is not the kind that gets a lot of love from the Hall voters these days...but if he ever makes it in I promise to revisit all of my decisions!

Great story, so you are obviously more knowledgeable than CGC on Bonds error cards! Well done...I can image that was a major hassle going back through eBay, especially after they started their authentication program that wasn't good enough in this instance.

Sorry to break it to you, but no there's not really a place you can go to find out about specific error cards that aren't well known. The cards in this video made the list because they have been widely talked about and researched, but if you think you have something that no one else has found...you either won't be able to find much information on it, or there's just not a market for it. What is it you think you've found? You could always send it in to a grader with a clear description of what it is you think you have (SGC customer service is the best for odd requests), and see if they agree with you or can confirm an error of some sort. Other than that there's not much else that could help with limited information

@@brutusonbaseball I have a Dylan Crews 2023 Stars and Stripes, Reverse Negative, RAP /serial #

I didn’t know something like it existed since patch cards are built.

Yeah with something that new there will be very little information out yet anyway. Cool find, blowout forums is always a good place for discussion if you want to get more info or opinions.

@@brutusonbaseball I figured. I’ll be posting videos once authenticated and graded. It’s crazy, even the auto is backwards.

No, that card was never printed in the corrected version. No matter what, you can only get Beltran's first card without a picture of him on it!

@@brutusonbaseball my bad is was the Juan Labron with Beltran photo! lol

@@Kiwitakimago yup, so disappointing to have a potential Hall of Famer Rookie card without the correct player on the card!

Quite true and very well said. The error itself is much less important as having a correction that creates two (or multiple along the way as we have seen with some) versions, with at least one being more scarce and therefore desirable

Thanks, glad you enjoyed!

My pleasure, thanks for watching and supporting!

Hey, thanks for watching and commenting, glad you enjoyed the video! These misprint error cards are always tough to evaluate, especially from the 80s and early 90s when the quality control and printing quality was dismal. The most in-demand error cards are the ones that have a specific error version and a specific corrected version, and misprints (wrong backs, missing print, etc.) typically don't fit into that category. Having misprinted cards of the star players are always better than commons, but it's typically not very easy to get much in return even for those. You essentially need to find someone that collects that specific star player, and they have to have interest in that misprinted card because they want every possible version out there. Not impossible, but not very easy to find either. Best of luck to you!

Yes, tons of little errors everywhere in that 90 Donruss set. I think their quality control department was on vacation that week!

Yes, there are absolutely a quite large number of error cards out there produced every year that there's been cards. Lots of printing errors I'm sure. What' I've tried to do is identify the most important ones to the baseball hobby...the ones that collectors pay most attention to. Of course this list might change in the future based on new cards and/or the popularity of a certain player that has an error card, but for the most part I think the cards in this list will maintain their demand over time whereas most other error cards just don't.

🤣😂 that would be hilarious if he did!

@@brutusonbaseball I could swear I saw a video of Cal explaining it!

@guywilliams6569 I recall a video of Billy Ripken explaining it, but haven't seen Cal comment on it

I don't know much of anything about hockey cards, but cards are printed with the wrong backs more often than you'd like to think. Especially in the 90s. Because the issue is random and has to do more with a mistake in the printing process, it's not usually considered an "error". The best way to think about "error" cards is that they have one version that's incorrect for some reason, and then a fixed version. Cards that have the wrong back might have Mark on one version, Tony on another version and Alex on another...so they're just inconsistent and not considered an "error" version of that Joe Thornton card. Make sense?

Well that would be quite the purchase if it turns out...let me know how you do!

Interesting thought...but is that a good or bad thing for baseball? Did I put you to sleep? 😁🤣

Well baseball is on the calm side. 😆

@@georgeriley4818 so true, match made in heaven then!

Not sure what you mean exactly, like the card is double printed? Usually is it's a straight printing error (wrong back, missing ink, etc) it's seen as a quality issue more than an error and is not worth much...

@@brutusonbaseball it has been double stamped by the plate all images and writing on face of card is doubled it's a Yankee power hitters card

@@brutusonbaseball it's worth more than you think I know it

@@brutusonbaseball This error can occur during the production process, leading to a limited number of cards being unintentionally duplicated. The unique nature of double print sports cards has made them highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike.

@@christopherbrown9808 you may be right, I just haven't heard much about these. Let me know if you do find a value someday or sell it, would be interesting to find out

🤣

What card is it? Sounds like you have a rare/limited serial numbered parallel while your friend has a common base card?

@@brutusonbaseball Connor wong mosaic pink parallel rookie card has silver numbers on back saying 01/10 in silver card number 210 people have same card on eBay but there’s don’t say 01/10 like mine ?

@@brutusonbaseballthank you so much this helps a lot

@@tristancreasey9539 my pleasure!

That's pretty cool, especially to have the two of them side by side. Definitely worth something to a Big Hurt collector!

Hey Dennis, thanks for watching and the great compliments! That does sound like an odd one you have...at first I thought it was just the wrong back printed, but a quick look at the set shows that Juan Gonzalez is in the set but not numbered SQ2. It does look like there were a couple of errors amalgamated into one crazy card! As for value, this would be a difficult one just because of how odd it is. You would really have to do your research and prove to an interested buyer how odd it is and that it's not just a wrong back from printing. Even then, you would likely have to identify a hard core Griffey collector (which shouldn't be hard to do), but the value they put to it is anyone's guess. Best of luck!

That is a good one too. There's some interesting error cards from the 1970s that are popular among collectors from that era. The 1974 Topps cards for the Padres players showing the city name as Washington (because everyone was sure the Padres would be moving that season) are fun ones too.

Yeah those ones are really cool. It’s too bad Dave Winfield was not one of those cards.

No kidding, if he had one of those in positive it would have made this top 10 with how important that card would have been!

Actually, it said Blue Jays on it (not Mariners). I had a bunch of them (both error and corrected) and thought I was possibly sitting on a gold mine back in 79/80. His dad (Maury) was a great player and Bump had a solid rookie campaign but did very little after that. Too bad/lol.

@jagsnumberone88 yeah, it's always hard to know which cards will end up worth something. Had he turned into a great player, I'm sure they would have

Yeah, there's a whole bunch of errors out there for modern cards, but only time will tell which ones matter and which ones don't. Usually depends on how good the player is and how important the particular card is

I totally get that view... I'm sure the card would have been just as iconic if the words had been upside down, but your point adds to the intrigue of maybe Ripken knew what was going on all along

That's very interesting, especially since CGC is the grading company that checks ungraded cards from ebay for authentication. So you bought it and then sent it in to another grading company that found it to be counterfeit?

Plenty of counterfeits get past the supposed "experts" at Psa or any other grading company. Grading is just another scam to get more money out of people.

Glad you enjoyed it, really appreciate the compliments!

That's how I see it too. I don't really collect error cards for the sake of error cards, but if I target the corrected version of a card for my collection, then I'll pick up the error too just to have both (or multiple) versions.

That's certainly one of them!

FF, not FU.

That's a really great question, and one that I don't know the answer for. It would be a great question to ask a grading company! I wonder if they would grade it from the perspective of being an error card with missing ink. That way it could get a 10 if everything else was perfect... I'm just not sure if that's how they would see it

Congrats! Millions of tiny errors on that 90 Donruss set

That's a fun one for sure, not often you see a card changed based on a trade rumor that never materialized!

My pleasure! With that being a vintage card of a Hall of Famer, I'm sure there would be interest in it somewhere from a collector that likes these unique items!

@@brutusonbaseball thanks, yea a Brooksie collector might want it!🤷

Yes, that's a good one to remember. Not a memorable player, but a memorable card because Topps thought a trade from the Rangers to the Blue Jays was all but done...but alas it was not!

@@brutusonbaseball Oh wow did not know that history. Sort of makes that a unique error. Thanks!

That's a great idea, but I am not a football collector and have close to zero knowledge about it outside of Barry Sanders rookie cards. I wouldn't even know where to begin looking!

Awesome, thanks for subbing!

That's a great point and question. I don't think the printing left out yellow entirely, otherwise the coloring would have potentially been off for the whole picture. From what I understand, Topps was using several different printing presses at this time, so it could be that one of them just made the mistake of putting the name all in white instead of having the last name in yellow. There are theories about these cards only being distributed in certain regions, so that could back up the idea that all these cards came from one printer that made a temporary mistake

If it's a widely recognized and collected error card, then I would treat it like and other. If you prefer to grade your cards, then go for it. If it's not one of those things, then probably not as it may not be worth the grading fee.

That's a good point, but there's not much we can do to guess at card population unless we look at the graded.

Show us a pic of the saw cut!

Thanks!

I appreciate your opinion, but I disagree. The point of including the prices wasn't to highlight the exact prices that will change over time, but to give the general difference in prices between different versions of cards. Although those fluctuate some, the ratio between cards stays fairly consistent
