I do have one of these cards. My dad gave it to me about 30 years ago and I have never had it rated. Do you have any suggestions on where I can have that done.
I actually owned two of these cards. They were both graded PSA 7. I sold them around the year 2001 for $1,200 for both of them. I'm still kicking myself over that decision.
I’m 44 now and I have one of these that I got from a classmate in trade during elementary school I think. I’ve kept it all these years and it’s always been my prized baseball card and made me a huge frank thomas fan before I got into high school and changed my attention to cars and girls. Your video helped me confirm that mine is in fact authentic, even though I always knew it was. It’s the one card that brings me back into the hobby every now and then for some junk wax ripping. Thanks for bringing back a good memory from my youth.
No joke...im 44 as well and I have one! Haven't had it graded. Got it out of a pack...i lived in Iowa. LUCKILY my cousin spotted it when we were probably 14 and he knew what it was...I was clueless at the time. The big hurt was my favorite player then too. I played first because I wanted to be him lol. I always wondered if getting it autographed would be a bad idea. Great video...i pull it out about every 5 years and take a look.
I would love to have one. I think they try not to stop the presses if possible cause every time they restart the press ink takes a few minutes to redistribute itself on plates rollers and more than likely they always throw away the first several sheets cause of ink issues. So I think the quality control just didn't see the ink missing and started letting it go down the line. I worked for the newspaper down here for 15 years about 20 years ago. Great info Mike.
Yes, I pulled one out of a vending box back in 1991-92 ish (I'm pretty certain it came from a vending box)... I remember it vividly because I felt like a got a "defective" Frank Thomas, and was concerned it had little value because it wasn't listed as an error/variation in Beckett at the time, so I was like "meh", lol... And I don't recall what I did with it. I know I traded or sold it way before it was ever in Beckett... But yea, I'm pretty sure it was a vending box tho - because I remember the blue box... Well, unless I was storing my 1990 stars in a vending box - that would make sense too, lol... But yea, that jazz is it's own "story"... I ended up with cases and cases (15-20 cases)of "junk wax" - mostly stuff from 88-90, tho there were a handful of boxes before 88.. I remember I had 1/3rd of a box of 85 Topps and I DID pull the McGwire, so I was pumped about that as a kid... But again that junk wax find is it's own story I should post some day..
Some 25 years ago at a local flea market a guy was trying to pedal one off for $30 which I thought was steep for a fairly new card. Wish I Had have had a crystal ball!! Errors are subjective, like blank back cards. The Beatles Introducing the Beatles album with a blank back is worth a good bit. A blank back of a rookie or Hall of Famer, some say it's not an error but printing mistake. Same thing.
I own a PSA 7.5 that I bought several years ago. I had upgraded from a BGS 3 which at the time I had bought for a couple hundred. I also have a PSA 7 George Bush (pack version, non glossy). I love the 1990 Topps set. I remember it coming out when I was in 5th grade and being very fond of the bright colors in this set.
One of my childhood friends pulled one of those Topps NNOF Frank Thomas Rookie errors from a small town grocery store in Cali in 1990 so they certainly weren’t only distributed on the East Coast.
Well done on this video. The picture of how the solution spread on the printer was neat to see. I never knew why it was missing as kid and would have not dreamed that as reason. Pretty cool
Thanks Mike, for another great video. When I was opening those boxes, I never even knew the NN Thomas existed. Found out years later, looked through my cards, found 5 Thomas all with name.
Thanks for showing this Mike, really appriciate it! I'm not a big fan of this card, but if someone wants it, it's good to see a breakdown of how to sport a fake. I took printing in high school and have a degree in design which covered printing as well, so I'm always interested in this stuff. It's pretty strange for sure and trying to remember the process I used when printing? I do have a 1957 Topps Gene "Bakep" error and with that card, there was a piece of paper or filament, but this looks like something besides cleaning solution got in the way? It's pretty interesting. Hey see ya at the Shriners!
Great feature on a great card. After seeing big frank play in county stadium near the end 1990 I saw great potential. I started buying his cards and ran across the no name at a local shop. Maybe a year later the dealer of the shop told me of a major buyer that would pay 800 . I sold the card to Coins and cards who had found 23 at the time. One I would like to have back😢
I ripped many a packs back in the day chasing one. It's still on my list for a "one day" card. Many in front of it but would love to have one. Don't know if you watch Jab's brothers channel "The Past Is Alive" but he rips a box of 90 topps one day (think first Monday) a month looking for one. Good commentary to go along with it..
Very interesting theories / back story. Random, but I pulled the Printing Plate for Altuve's "blank error" ASG card from 2020 Chrome Update where the ASG symbol is on the wrong side & the area it's supposed to be is just blank chrome. Same goes for the front bottom middle, but I'm not sure what's supposed to be there. (I just checked lol) Also, it is CRAZY to think Thomas wasn't 1 of the Top Prospects back then esp after what he did at Auburn, BUT in reality, the scouts were pretty clueless back in those days when you look at who they had as their top prospects! 🙄
I might see ya Sunday. Although, I just gave up my 2 tables at Shriners yesterday, as something's come up. But I still might be able to make it Sunday.🤞I'm sure you'll have a real good time because that show's known for its excess of vintage! Sunday's gonna be PACKED too as Tyson & Dr J are signing, along w/4 low-key former Pats from their early SBs. Enjoy!
You wouldn’t believe this story but I found one of these at a yard sale. We stopped for the hell of it and I was poking around and saw nothing that interested me. So I ask the lady if she had any old sports cards and she said I do. I was like mmmmmmk. She heads into her house and pops out with 4 boxes unopened boxes of Score 91 cards and a 3 row box of other cards. After going through it all the NNOF card was sitting right there next to a Bernie rookie. Unreal!!!!!!!!
I seem to remember that The Big Hurt was fairly popular before the MVP and was in fact seen as a top prospect as he was coming up. The 1990 Leaf Thomas #300 was the card to pull from those packs even at the time. Then again, I was an early teen at the time and could easily be misremembering the timeline. As for the theory on how the error came to be, I had heard more than once (albeit 20+ years ago) that a scrap of cardboard had fallen into the press, stuck to the spot it landed on, and simply blocked the black ink from the cardboard. This, to me, seems more likely because if it were a cleaning solution issue, you would think there would be a spectrum of versions with varying levels of ink/smudgery. All the copies I've seen of the Thomas (which is clearly the most affected card) and of other affected cards look the same in this regard, and show a 100% loss of the black ink in question. Just my thoughts. I could be wrong.
Great info my friend. Always a card I would like to add. So what's the code on the 89 fleer Billy card. I would love to add a couple more of those to collection.
Thanks Doug. According to Post War Cards, the FF error has been verified in cases up to 90191. Boxes should have a case code on them too, or if it’s from a BBCE case-fresh box, it’ll say the code. Good luck!
Back in 1990 I speculated on three Topps Draft cards - Jeff Jackson (pick #4), Paul Coleman (#6) and Earl Cunningham (#8) for a total of 600 cards. I skipped on the guy that was #7 (Thomas), oh well. And yes, I still have all of them…
I spent too much time and fortunately not too much money trying to luck into one... bought lots of junk wax in the process... blowout forums had a good bit of info on it... most interesting thing was how many years it took for the details to emerge on the likely cause... I have read of every conceivable Topps packaging being 'the only one' that would include a NNOF, so pretty sure that's simply unknown... I disagree that the other partial blackless players/cards have no value... clearly not serious value, but they are sought after...
I follow the error cards a bit….one that I have is a 1980 Topps basketball James Silas error card…James is misspelled as Jams and it’s in purple….the corrected James Silas is the only card in the 176 card set where the name is printed in black…PSA would not grade it as an error….they graded it as if it was the same card…
It's amazing (and disheartening) how so many big-ticket singles prices have dropped so far over the past year. It seems that the pandemic-fueled mania lasted into early 2022, but by spring there were intelligent warning signs. As far as those dreamers who poured big money into untested cards from the past few years, they got what they deserved. But I feel bad about the cards that are more than a couple decades old. As the dad of a nurse who specializes in evidence-based research, I found this video comprehensive and fascinating.
@@JunkWaxHero I admit I did make one purchase that, in retrospect, was grievously overpriced, but it was unopened material that I intend to sit on for a number of years anyway.
I'm from Ohio and I always heard the majority were released in and around Michigan. I had one that I sold for $800 in the late 90's (same time I sold my 1991 score Joe Dimaggio autograph). I firmly remember pulling the card myself at 9 years old, from a rack pack at a regional chain grocery/convenience store called Harts. I've screwed up alot of times in the card business, but that was probably the worst one! 🤣
I have 2 1996 metal universe baseball cards. One of them is jeff bagwell on the front. Card #135. On the back , the pic is fred mcgriff. Bagwell should be on card# 172. The other card is kirby puckett on front. Deion Sanders pic on back. Card #245. Kirby should be on card #80.
i bought a lot of cards (maybe 40,000 plus cards Random boxes for $500) i found 3 no names so far only looked through 4 boxes Yeeeet!! dont know what to do tho , confused on what it will cost me to PSA grade because of "Declared value " which i feel is a scam just like how Heritage auction is in kahoots withWTA game grader owner that sold a mario game for over1 million . WTH Grader price Auction price IRS price what are ya left with , This is America nothing is free / any advice ? I am thinking i will just list it on Ebay and do a local pickup cuz if its worth that much and they are willing to pay they can pay to fly or drive out to pick up card
If you’re sure they’re real, I’d send it to PSA and take the upcharge because you should be able to sell them at a nice profit. It’ll be tough to sell a raw No Name on eBay for a good value.
I have opened many boxes of 90 topps. I have found that the 50 cent cello pack have the greatest chance of finding one. Out of the 3 I have opened, all the Thomas rookies were missing from the precursor spot of curt shilling.
@@JunkWaxHero the past is alive does a monthly 1990 topps opening looking for the error. He opened a 50 cello box on camera a few months ago with the same result....no thomas card where it should be.
The photo explanation of how the No Name occurred is the most likely explanation. I have worked at a printing company for years and have seen some “weird” things occur on paper. It is almost impossible to catch everything. Mistakes happen. No, we do not print sports cards. The side-by-side comparison of a genuine error card with the fake error card verifies the “plate cleaning solution “ explanation. Kudos to your research. I do have the Billy Ripken FF error. Sent it to SGC last year and got a “7”. Made me happy.
I have an error card that I've been searching for 20 yrs for another one like it. I tried to get sgc to grade it but no luck. I then herd that csg will grade the card if proven authentication. The card is a topps gold label football card of kurt warner class 2 no stats on the back the card graded @ 8. 5 csg. So far I'm the only one with this error!!!
.04% PSA 10. That's what scary about those grading cards, your telling me that thousands of employees grading cards can grade them all the same? Hardly not, what is a 10 to one employee isn't to another. What if a person is having a bad day or in a bad mood, no way a card gets a 10 that is reality. So basically a 9 mint to a 10 gem mint is a HUGE swing in value when selling it!!!!
@@JunkWaxHero the explanation of the nnof was great. Showing the sheet the fact THE HOFer was placed just right. And now I see it missing in the card. Most I learned of a card in king time. Kudos. And if you ever want simple basic on card autos I will be parting with mine. Nothing hyped. They are all just plain on card. No #d, multi patch psa10 pop 4 with only 1 higher-- Nothing to hype. The autos speak for themselves and yeah 200 or the 300 are under $25. But, very few are worth less today than when I got them. Great work!
You mean the most valuable error card that you know of... because I know of one that I personally get between $500 and $650 dollars raw every time I find it... And it's from the 1970s...
Frank Thomas was drafted 7 in 1989 , baseball America rank Thomas 29 best prospect in 89 . MLB baseball ranked Thomas the best power hitter of all prospects .. he was known as the best power hitter of all prospects . What do people collect Ben McDonald the number one prospect ,, sorry people don’t collect pitchers and Topps new it ,, Frank Thomas was the most sought out card when it came out , including from other companies like leaf , People collect power hitters still to this day because the command a higher premium

Great question. I think it is a printing defect, but it looks like an error. And there are so few that it’s treated like a corrected error.



I have one that predates the Frank Thomas been trying to research and determine value pics will not post
How about J C Martin and Gary Peters error?
.04% PSA 10. That's what scary about those grading cards, your telling me that thousands of employees grading cards can grade them all the same? Hardly not, what is a 10 to one employee isn't to another. What if a person is having a bad day or in a bad mood, no way a card gets a 10 that is reality. So basically a 9 mint to a 10 gem mint is a HUGE swing in value when selling it!!!!
Time for the WILLIAM PERRY Pro Set error
Ha maybe
@@JunkWaxHero the explanation of the nnof was great. Showing the sheet the fact THE HOFer was placed just right. And now I see it missing in the card. Most I learned of a card in king time. Kudos. And if you ever want simple basic on card autos I will be parting with mine. Nothing hyped. They are all just plain on card. No #d, multi patch psa10 pop 4 with only 1 higher--
Nothing to hype. The autos speak for themselves and yeah 200 or the 300 are under $25. But, very few are worth less today than when I got them. Great work!
@@troystewart7730 feel free to email me pics and prices of any HOF rookie autos or Red Sox autos.
You mean the most valuable error card that you know of... because I know of one that I personally get between $500 and $650 dollars raw every time I find it... And it's from the 1970s...
I have a no name frank Thomas still in package looked at once then put away for years a real 9 or 10 what is the value mint
I’ve had dozens of people tell me this and not one of them has been able to prove it. Email me a photo? Address is listed on my account here.

Frank Thomas was drafted 7 in 1989 , baseball America rank Thomas 29 best prospect in 89 . MLB baseball ranked Thomas the best power hitter of all prospects .. he was known as the best power hitter of all prospects . What do people collect Ben McDonald the number one prospect ,, sorry people don’t collect pitchers and Topps new it ,, Frank Thomas was the most sought out card when it came out , including from other companies like leaf , People collect power hitters still to this day because the command a higher premium
You talked over six minutes before ever talking about the title of the video. I assume you get money for name dropping websites which you dropped over-over-over.
