This is the one that I couldn't believe wasn't at least a special mention! I also have 2 of them! Theres also the 1990 football card of Brian Bosworth where the team name was different than all the others in the set? And I can't remember the players name at this moment, (edited 1-4-22 :Fred Marion was the players name) but there was a "dong card" in football too where it was actually the end of his belt flapping out in the picture...lmao
I pulled a Frank Thomas NNOF from a mystery pack at my LCS in 91 or 92... The LCS owner was a big ERR collector and he occasionally put ERR cards in his mystery packs along with a copy of the corrected card... I traded it for an Eric Lindros RC (hockey). I was 12 and didn’t know what I had at the time...I’m 41 now and it still hurts lol.
I have 18 Ripken FF 9 2bb,2 sawcut, 2 white out,2 scribbles,2 punch out. 1bb PSA graded 8, 1 FF PSA 8 and a 10. The 1st day Fleer 89 made it to Nevada I bought 26 packs and pulled 17 And sold 1 for $100 !
Buddy, this was an outstanding video. Love the effort and attention to the details that you always take. I almost forgot about that 91 Candy Maldonado card with Cory Haim on it. I will always remember being in grade 6 and all of us going crazy trying to pull that 90 UD Ben McDonald error card with the Orioles logo on the front. Do you remember that one?
Definitely remember the Ben McDonald. That was a huge card in the early 90s back when he was a big name rookie. I think the excitement died down once his career didn't really pan out.
@@SilverJackify very true! Also, I need to get my hands on that Maldonado card now, you’ve inspired me to find it. I see the Toronto connection in it being that a Corey Haim was a a Toronto kid and Candy was on the 1992 Blue Jays World Series team.
Fun video! Back in the ‘70’s error cards were a big deal too. That was before the focus was on rookie cards. The 1979 Bump Wills Blue Jays card was a big deal. I was thinking the ‘69 Mantle was a variation. Is the ‘69 Aurelio Rodriguez an error because it was never corrected? 🤷
I looked into the Rodriguez card after you mentioned it and I would list that as an oddity and not an error. If I ever do a part 2 of this then that would definitely be in here. That is crazy!
the Randy Johnson and the many many stages of 'corrected' versions is a great story on it's own. the full sign, super rare. then the green tint, red tint, green and red...finally black in varying stages. it was a beautiful mess.
Other anomolies: 1964 Ray Sadecki. 1994 Topps Stadium Club Frank Thomas. 1972 Topps Billy Martin. 1966 AND 1967 Claude Raymond. Oh, and the extremely rare and expensive 1990 Fleer Jose Uribe LOLZ
The 1990 Donruss Juan Gonzalez rookie card reverse negative.....with the Ripken FF card, the scramble to correct it with black box, black scribble and the white out scribble made it iconic. The white scribble is more valuable than the FF card. The 1989 Fleer Randy Johnson with the Marlboro sign over his shoulder.......1981 Fleer Fernand Valenzuela instead of Fernando.
I bought 4 boxes of ‘89 Fleer, and pulled about 4 of those FF Ripkens. Traded 1 for a Nintendo Super Mario Bros 2 video game. Totally worth it still today.
Loved the list of oddities. I’m a huge history buff when it comes to sports and sportscards. To learn of these oddities and what you can find was pretty cool.
It is a tough card. Provably less than 1% printed had the reversed negative. There are other errors in that set that aren't as hard to get at a decent price.
Juan Gonzalez's 90 Donruss Reverse Negative Rated Rookie doesn't make the list? That's crazy as hell!! Gonzalez always gets disrespected by the League and the Hobby I think.
I probably have all the early 90's error cards Donruss was famous for. I know I have the Juan Gonzalez, Nolan Ryan 5k strikeout and Diamond King. Along with the Randy Fleer Marlboro sign
The error cards of the 1980's & 90's were no different than the SSP photo variations Topps uses these days. Companies made some mistakes but many of those error cards were done on purpose as a way to drive sales, especially after the Billy Ripken card publicity.
I collected sports cards in the late 80s and early 90s like many people my age. I haven't bought a sports card or pack in about 30 years. I do enjoy trading card games (Magic the Gathering, etc.), so TH-cam sometimes recommends sports card channels to me. Occasionally I'll click on one from time to time if it piques my interest. This time I'm glad I did. The subject is interesting, but more importantly I love the energy and enthusiasm of the presenter! That passion and charisma isn't something that can be taught.
There r a couple of different variations of the billy Ripken FF card. I believe there are 4 or five different variations. The original ff, one blacked out, one with white square, one with what looks like a different shade of white, and one that looks almost like the color of the bat I believe. I’ve got the original, the white and black squares on the bat.
Not very well known (yet) but the 2019 Upper Deck Mackenzie MacEachern Young Guns #212 card has a completely different player (Andreas Borgman) pictured on the card. Borgman only played preseason games for the Blues but didn't make the team, but somehow UD botched it and put him on MacEachern's rookie card. Only guy I've ever heard of who has a Young Guns with someone else's picture on it.
How about the current date error card: "Ohtani Gets Hot"? Trout and Ohtani. Date on the back is 2081. A TROUT ERROR CARD....hello. Buy one now, make them scarce, and drive up the value of all of them I have already bought...
@@SilverJackify But who's value has been far more valuable and increasing. Upper Decks com. Was based here in Las Vegas and I knew at that time. I know the packing orders of high valued players. And I still know where to find Griffey Jr. RC depending where in the pack the RC card falls how many more Griffey Jr.s are in a box!
I think it's kind of a stretch to call a card an error card because a card was issued for a year a young rookie didn't make the team. Happened all the time when I was collecting cards. For instance, Lou Piniella had 3 rookies cards, each with a different team: 1964 Senators, 1968 Indians, 1969 Pilots, and when he finally did make the majors to stay it was with a fourth team (KC Royals), which means he had a rookie card five years before he actually became a full time major league player. Another example is Tommie Agee, who had rookie cards with the Indians and White Sox, I think 1965 and 1966. An error card (hockey) I've been curious about since I pulled it from a wax pack back in 1974: Jacques Lemaire on the Buffalo Sabres. Lemaire never played for Buffalo, but Topps went through the trouble of air brushing his Montreal Canadiens jersey to the blue & gold of the Sabres. Did they hear a trade rumor and just go with it? Then there's Dave Bennett's 1964 Phillies rookie card where it said on the back something like: "The 19 year old right handed curveballer is just 18 years old". A favorite oddity, not an error, but just thought I'd mention it. 1969 Kevin Collins card with the Mets, he's wearing a Mets uniform that features the World's Fair patch. The NY World's Fair took place in 1964-65, so Topps was using a 4-5 year old picture for that card, LOL. There's another card, can't remember exactly which, I think from 1968, which features a player, don't remember who, and the picture was taken in the Polo Grounds, which closed in 1963. Topps was digging in the archives even back then. I stopped collecting cards in the mid-80's, but kept what I had (which was a lot). Still have them in big boxes in the closet. I don't know any of the newer cards you mention here.
Thanks for this video! I have, very lately, been wanting to see a video like this one you have made here. If anyone is reading this that wants to make an error card video pertaining to around 1960 to 1987, I would be very interested to see it. Great video. Thanks
The 1977 Topps C-3PO boner card is one of my favorite error cards. There is actually at least five versions. There is the Topps and the O'Pee Chee error card. There is the Topps and O'Pee Chee corrected version. and there is the Topps airbrushed version. I do not know if O'Pee Chee had a airbrushed version. You can totally see the airbrushed version. I have around 20 of these cards with only one being the airbrushed version. I probably have around 20 of the corrected version. The original story is a disgruntled worker modified the card shortly before he was fired. Topps story is Anthony Daniels C-3PO suit had some glue come undone. The picture was taken and submitted for the card and it was missed in editing.
the 1958 Topps Hank Aaron #30 Robin's egg blue background. There are roughly 10-15 copies known. It is missing the yellow in the print run and very striking.
That one is just sun faded unfortunately I did a video on my channel how easy they are to make with a 500 watt light, here’s a 1958 mantle error I found that’s quite rare th-cam.com/video/Z2KIQl2Q9e0/w-d-xo.html
1987 Topps Nestle dream team Johnny Bench Babe Ruth on back wrong back only one found in the world on radio show value this with Brian and leon WCG grading 4 and PSA VERIFIED factor misprint try to find this card!!!! This card was found in Just found in 2019!!!!
Most error cards in the early 90's were a product of mass producing crap. I have and love the NBA Hoops Mark Jackson(Menendez Bros)and Sam Vincent(Michael Jordan #12)
Great Video Sir! I Love Errors/Variations. I have a comprehensive book that Dick Gillickson wrote. He was/is pioneer for errors/variations collecting. I too have a C3PO card. Great Card to have. Thanks for sharing your list! Stay Safe!
I remember having a 1990 Donruss Error with John Smoltz n Tom Glavine's picture on each others card. And had a nice '85 or '86 Donruss Terry Pendleton Rookie that said Jeff Pendleton that was worth like $15-$20 bucks which was Great for that era
Great list! I remember buying the '95 Topps Traded Carlos Beltran RC (before the whole Astros cheating scandal) and wondering if I was tripping out because it was definitely not Beltran on the card. I ended up also buying the Juan Lebron from the same set since it's Beltran's picture on that card. I consider that pair as a single rookie card. I also got a kick out of the 1985 Donruss Seaver error card as well. My favorite is the Billy Ripken FF card.
Also the 1974 san diago/ Washington mix up could have gotten an honorable mention as well. Mmy favorite error cards aside from Rick face lol would be from the 50s and 60s. Too many to name but there definitely awesome and im happy someone finally payed homage to them
I had a couple error cards from the 89 Score cards. I remember a guy grabbing himself in the background of the pitcher, Paul Gibson. I remember a couple others also that i found funny! Matt Williams was another!! :) I remember when UpperDeck came out, Jim Abbot was one of my favorites! and they looked so nice!!!! :)
1990 NNOF Frank Thomas is not an error card. Definition is that an error card has to be corrected by the manufacturer. This is a printing mistake that fixed itself. Also the mantle is a variation just like the Back differences or tint variations in 1962. Not an error that was specifically corrected by the manufacturer.
whats funny is I have an old shoe box of those skybox basketball cards and havent looked at them in literally 25 years until a week ago because I watched a video about this and wondered if I had that card in that shoe box ... and went through it and had both the sam Vincent and that mark Jackson just sitting inside the shoebox. literally havent opened that shoe box up since like 1993. never even knew who sam Vincent was or mark Jackson back when I was buying these cards as a kid. just wanted to see if those cards might be in there. went through some other old shoe boxes full of cards the same day and came across tons of Michael Jordan cards, Larry bird, shaq, magic Johnson cards never even knew I had. probably around 100+ all together. and like 20 penny Hardaway rookies too.
Love the list I've got a ff error one of my favorites. Not on the list is another error card i have the 1990 ken Griffey jr no copyright on back i like the picture and the fact it's a second year card plus an error
Claude Raymond, in 1966 and 1967, had Topps cards with his fly open--and the 1969 Aurelio Rodriguez card has the picture of the Angels' batboy instead of Aurelio!
So I used to have the NNOF Thomas and sold it for 2000 raw back in 1991...talk about regret!! Had many 1989 Ripkens and have had all the variations. Finally parted ways with them. Highest prices i got were 700 each for psa 9 whiteout, and a psa 8 white scribble. The others did pretty good but none in the 3 figures. I have a 89 fleer Randy Johnson Marlboro error in grading now. It got a nine but i misidentified it as a partial and they didnt correct me like they do. so i resubmitted it as a Marlboro...wish me luck. The 1990 Donruss set was full of "errors" to make up for the ugly look of that bright red. we used to sell those by the hundreds and people paid up for all of them. Soon enough they got figured out. Lately i have been chasing easter egg cards from 2019 and 2020 o-pee-chee hockey. They arent errors but are super duper short printed. I have the Alex Ovechkin Reverse Photo variation. got it graded and it got a PSA 10!!!!! I really wish becket would include these in their price guide, since they gave us a checklist on their website. I have never seen this ovechkin for sale aside from mine. Im either gonna get huge money for this or keep it. What are your thoughts on these easter eggs?
I definitely think that anything that creates scarcity is going to be a big deal in the future. It’s getting to a point where cards are going to get mass produced again (because of demand). When the bubble pops and all of these investors leave all we will be left with is cards that are scarce. The cards where 50k are in a PSA 10...I’d be very worried about
@@SilverJackify No doubt!! On the other hand, we dont find ball cards at every store in huge numbers like we used to, so as mass produced as they seem, they are at least hard to find in retail. No more going to the corner store and buying a box of Topps then going to the flea mall to sell them all. Not to metion, the prices now compared to then!!!...i miss my 50 cent packs
I had a no name Frank Thomas / first edition Pokémon Charizard and Pichu all destroyed by movers. I had water damage in my house and everything in my house went into storage as a company fixed everything. Once I got my stuff back I realized that somebody went through my collection and stole from it. They should not have taken my collection but they did by accident and I just accepted at the time I’d get it all back. So besides losing 2 sets of each year of the 1980’s USFL sets and other stuff, they had lose cards out in a box that got very badly dinged up. I through them away because these cards were mangled. The 3 that mattered cost me hugely! I priced them out half a year later after I moved back into my home and cried!! I didn’t know what they were worth until then.
I watched a video on the mark jackson card a while ago, and thank god I did, because I was flipping through some of my uncles old cards and found it. Had I not watched that video, the card would have never caught my eye.

I'm still sick about it but I traded a ton of current rookies in the late eighties for a John Littlefield reverse negative card. I turned around and traded the Littlefield reverse negative for a 1968 Mickey Mantle. Unfortunately I traded the 68 mantle for about two shoe boxes worth of what would turn out to be total crap... Hindsight is 20/20! 😢
The 89 RN Dale is still a pricey card!!!! I have the f-face see one I had as a kid. Also got the RN Juan Gonzalez donnrus. I still dig them errors .. I sold a candy M. Card last year for $5!! It's a iconic card . Sold a 12 Jordan card about the same time. ...i still need a mark Jackson!!!...... Petty sure the white letter mantle is not a error . There is a hole set printed that way....I would LOVE a bush card . The ungloss went out the back door of the printer .
I have a Frank Thomas rookie error card from 1990 Fleer. The front of the card has Thomas, but the back has Edwin Nunez stats upside down. I also have the Nunez card that has Frank's stats on the back. Does anyone else know anything about these error cards because I can't find out anything about them?
I have an oddity card which I pulled in 1999. It's a Upper Deck Football Darnay Scott card. It's a card with a razor blade embedded under gloss coating of the card. I have it for sale on ebay. Just search "Razor Blade Card" check it out..anybody else have odd pulls. I also pulled a 1995 Bowman Mendy Lopez baseball card that has Gregg Lloyd stadium club football #120 on the back. It's also on ebay.
I had a couple of the Sam Vincent cards with Jordan wearing the #12. The reason is someone broke into the visitors locker room and stole his jersey right before the game.
I have the Gary Sheffield SS Upside down card. My Uncle had 4 Cal Ripken FF cards (we sold cards when I was little) then he felt it was distasteful and never put them back out into circulation. He may have at some point but that was back in the 90's
2019 Ohtani Gets Date Error Card. In sapphire, graded PSA 10 goes for thousands. Trout and Ohtani. Date error on the back has Ohtani's big game happening way in the future.
I have a good one. I have a 1996 Mike Piazza Topps number 246 and star power number 2 with the backs on opposite cards. So the number 246 back is on the star power and the number 2 star power is on the regular topps card.
Ken Griffey isn’t that great HE was only able to hit as many HR’s as he did because he played in Seattle. If you just make decent contact on the baseball ⚾️ it’s going over the fence in Seattle. Ken Griffey would have never hit as many HR’s as he did if he was playing for any other team in any other ballpark.
Maybe I have the top error card of all time. It's just a strip about 3/16 the of an in in width, and the with of a card. I kept the whole pack it came in. Just the craziest hockey card I ever seen. Nothing on it, just blank card stock without print and the package was one card short.
The Juan Gonzales reverse negative is also awesome. I have 2
Haha yeah I pulled one out of a pack about a year ago. Really cool card
I agree this was a big card back then.i have a few.the Ripken,Frank Thomas and Juan Gonzalez were the big three back then
This is the one that I couldn't believe wasn't at least a special mention! I also have 2 of them! Theres also the 1990 football card of Brian Bosworth where the team name was different than all the others in the set? And I can't remember the players name at this moment, (edited 1-4-22 :Fred Marion was the players name) but there was a "dong card" in football too where it was actually the end of his belt flapping out in the picture...lmao
I have an unopened rack pack with that card on top
1957 Topps Hank Aaron card #20 - reverse negative!
Was waiting on the "Craig" Nettles card...it started the error craze in 1981. Great list.
Yeah almost had that on the list. I probably should have done some HM and included that one
th-cam.com/video/Z2KIQl2Q9e0/w-d-xo.html
I pulled a Frank Thomas NNOF from a mystery pack at my LCS in 91 or 92... The LCS owner was a big ERR collector and he occasionally put ERR cards in his mystery packs along with a copy of the corrected card...
I traded it for an Eric Lindros RC (hockey). I was 12 and didn’t know what I had at the time...I’m 41 now and it still hurts lol.
Ouch!
How about the 69T Aurelio Rodriguez card that's actually the batboy!
That was one of about 5 cards I saved when I sold my collection in 1980. Is It worth anything ?
The 1985 Topps Gary Pettis was also a photo of the (Angels) batboy which was Gary's younger brother. Oops!
@@17Helton Yes forgot about that one! Nice one.
Billy Ripken F-Face was one of the most sought after error cards when I was a kid during the Junk Wax Era
Yep. Looking for them n found them both cards. LOL...

Like your top 10 cards of all time Error/Oddities. Nice Vid keep up the great content.
Thx!!
You could spend an hour on 1981 Fleer and 1981 Donruss too...
Especially the Donruss. They had dozens of errors in 1981. Good thing they brought the Chicken along in 1982 so that set wouldn't be fowl.
That Ripken card will always be #1 to me. But that Murphy will always be #2. One of my top 10 favorite cards!!

The 1990 Donruss Juan Gonzalez rookie card reverse negative.....with the Ripken FF card, the scramble to correct it with black box, black scribble and the white out scribble made it iconic. The white scribble is more valuable than the FF card. The 1989 Fleer Randy Johnson with the Marlboro sign over his shoulder.......1981 Fleer Fernand Valenzuela instead of Fernando.
Isn’t the white box version on the Ripken the rarest? I got a few black box,& spent a fortune trying to get the uncovered version. Never got 1 either.
I bought 4 boxes of ‘89 Fleer, and pulled about 4 of those FF Ripkens. Traded 1 for a Nintendo Super Mario Bros 2 video game. Totally worth it still today.
Haha good trade especially if you got 4!

Tell your dad that Joe says you need to get it now!
Never knew that dale Murphy existed. Went through about 400 89 upper deck cards last night. Looks like I’ll be going back through them 🤣
It is a tough card. Provably less than 1% printed had the reversed negative. There are other errors in that set that aren't as hard to get at a decent price.

1992 Michael Jordan upperdeck in your face error card with the wrong dates stamped in gold foil. Very limited print.

1967 Topps Whitey Ford UER, & Littlefield Reverse missed out.

I think it's kind of a stretch to call a card an error card because a card was issued for a year a young rookie didn't make the team. Happened all the time when I was collecting cards.

Another example is Tommie Agee, who had rookie cards with the Indians and White Sox, I think 1965 and 1966.
An error card (hockey) I've been curious about since I pulled it from a wax pack back in 1974: Jacques Lemaire on the Buffalo Sabres.

I stopped collecting cards in the mid-80's, but kept what I had (which was a lot). Still have them in big boxes in the closet. I don't know any of the newer cards you mention here.
If error cards ever do become popular again my Kevin garnett prizm sensational swatches /10 with no patch at all will be a nice one.
Thanks for this video! I have, very lately, been wanting to see a video like this one you have made here. If anyone is reading this that wants to make an error card video pertaining to around 1960 to 1987, I would be very interested to see it. Great video. Thanks

The 1977 Topps C-3PO boner card is one of my favorite error cards. There is actually at least five versions. There is the Topps and the O'Pee Chee error card. There is the Topps and O'Pee Chee corrected version. and there is the Topps airbrushed version. I do not know if O'Pee Chee had a airbrushed version. You can totally see the airbrushed version. I have around 20 of these cards with only one being the airbrushed version. I probably have around 20 of the corrected version.
The original story is a disgruntled worker modified the card shortly before he was fired.
Topps story is Anthony Daniels C-3PO suit had some glue come undone. The picture was taken and submitted for the card and it was missed in editing.
the 1958 Topps Hank Aaron #30 Robin's egg blue background. There are roughly 10-15 copies known. It is missing the yellow in the print run and very striking.
That one is just sun faded unfortunately I did a video on my channel how easy they are to make with a 500 watt light, here’s a 1958 mantle error I found that’s quite rare

Nice list! The Juan Gonzalaz reverse negative and the Jordan career blocks by skybox are two i feel like could be top 10.
1987 Topps Nestle dream team Johnny Bench Babe Ruth on back wrong back only one found in the world on radio show value this with Brian and leon WCG grading 4 and PSA VERIFIED factor misprint try to find this card!!!! This card was found in Just found in 2019!!!!
Whoa I’ll have to check that out!
Yes you should let me know if you can find one? Far as I know there was only one sheet this happened to Back in 1987.
I remember when they corrected the bill ripken ff card they took a permanent marker and blanked out ff
Most error cards in the early 90's were a product of mass producing crap. I have and love the NBA Hoops Mark Jackson(Menendez Bros)and Sam Vincent(Michael Jordan #12)
I have both! Great stories behind them, only worth about $8 a piece!
"I tricked the Topps people posing lefthanded" explains Bob Uecker about one of his cards, "Nobody noticed"
It was hard to notice which hand he used most of the time, since he was usually sitting on the bench.
1965 Topps. He has a goofy grin on that one. It's considered an "UNCORRECTED ERROR".
One that never had him pose correctly for another photo.
1989 upper deck Gary Sheffield backwards ss
Nice list ! I have 4 variations of the
FF Billie Rip card !
Also have a 1990 score Sandberg card that list him as a 3rd baseman !
Great Video Sir! I Love Errors/Variations. I have a comprehensive book that Dick Gillickson wrote. He was/is pioneer for errors/variations collecting. I too have a C3PO card. Great Card to have. Thanks for sharing your list! Stay Safe!

What about all the 74 Topps errors?
I remember having a 1990 Donruss Error with John Smoltz n Tom Glavine's picture on each others card. And had a nice '85 or '86 Donruss Terry Pendleton Rookie that said Jeff Pendleton that was worth like $15-$20 bucks which was Great for that era
Is it worth anything today?
I bought some no picture on front 88 TOPPS off COMC and got them signed. They just don't correct the errors anymore. Corey HAIM!
Always enjoyed the error cards as a kid.
Great list! I remember buying the '95 Topps Traded Carlos Beltran RC (before the whole Astros cheating scandal) and wondering if I was tripping out because it was definitely not Beltran on the card. I ended up also buying the Juan Lebron from the same set since it's Beltran's picture on that card. I consider that pair as a single rookie card. I also got a kick out of the 1985 Donruss Seaver error card as well. My favorite is the Billy Ripken FF card.
Oh great, now I'm bout to be priced out if error cards j/k. Really fun video, I remember looking for that Murphy like it was yesterday
Great video Joe!!
Thanks team!
I have the 1981 Fleer Al Hrabosky 5'1" card, and two of the 2002 Topps Albert Pujols cards with the wrong person pictured on the back.
Interesting ,Great 👌🏼
Also the 1974 san diago/ Washington mix up could have gotten an honorable mention as well. Mmy favorite error cards aside from Rick face lol would be from the 50s and 60s. Too many to name but there definitely awesome and im happy someone finally payed homage to them
I had a couple error cards from the 89 Score cards. I remember a guy grabbing himself in the background of the pitcher, Paul Gibson. I remember a couple others also that i found funny! Matt Williams was another!! :) I remember when UpperDeck came out, Jim Abbot was one of my favorites! and they looked so nice!!!! :)
Great video. I learned a few things. Been after that c3po card for a while.
That's a great list looks like I'll be spending more money
Haha nice!!
1990 NNOF Frank Thomas is not an error card. Definition is that an error card has to be corrected by the manufacturer. This is a printing mistake that fixed itself. Also the mantle is a variation just like the Back differences or tint variations in 1962. Not an error that was specifically corrected by the manufacturer.
The Smoltz/Glavine error card and the variations of the FF card. Thanks for the video
I have the mark jackson card mint! They paid for those floor seats with that bread crazy
whats funny is I have an old shoe box of those skybox basketball cards and havent looked at them in literally 25 years until a week ago because I watched a video about this and wondered if I had that card in that shoe box ... and went through it and had both the sam Vincent and that mark Jackson just sitting inside the shoebox. literally havent opened that shoe box up since like 1993. never even knew who sam Vincent was or mark Jackson back when I was buying these cards as a kid. just wanted to see if those cards might be in there. went through some other old shoe boxes full of cards the same day and came across tons of Michael Jordan cards, Larry bird, shaq, magic Johnson cards never even knew I had. probably around 100+ all together. and like 20 penny Hardaway rookies too.
Love the list I've got a ff error one of my favorites. Not on the list is another error card i have the 1990 ken Griffey jr no copyright on back i like the picture and the fact it's a second year card plus an error
Claude Raymond, in 1966 and 1967, had Topps cards with his fly open--and the 1969 Aurelio Rodriguez card has the picture of the Angels' batboy instead of Aurelio!
So I used to have the NNOF Thomas and sold it for 2000 raw back in 1991...talk about regret!! Had many 1989 Ripkens and have had all the variations. Finally parted ways with them. Highest prices i got were 700 each for psa 9 whiteout, and a psa 8 white scribble. The others did pretty good but none in the 3 figures. I have a 89 fleer Randy Johnson Marlboro error in grading now. It got a nine but i misidentified it as a partial and they didnt correct me like they do. so i resubmitted it as a Marlboro...wish me luck. The 1990 Donruss set was full of "errors" to make up for the ugly look of that bright red. we used to sell those by the hundreds and people paid up for all of them. Soon enough they got figured out. Lately i have been chasing easter egg cards from 2019 and 2020 o-pee-chee hockey. They arent errors but are super duper short printed. I have the Alex Ovechkin Reverse Photo variation. got it graded and it got a PSA 10!!!!! I really wish becket would include these in their price guide, since they gave us a checklist on their website. I have never seen this ovechkin for sale aside from mine. Im either gonna get huge money for this or keep it. What are your thoughts on these easter eggs?
I definitely think that anything that creates scarcity is going to be a big deal in the future. It’s getting to a point where cards are going to get mass produced again (because of demand). When the bubble pops and all of these investors leave all we will be left with is cards that are scarce. The cards where 50k are in a PSA 10...I’d be very worried about
@@SilverJackify No doubt!! On the other hand, we dont find ball cards at every store in huge numbers like we used to, so as mass produced as they seem, they are at least hard to find in retail. No more going to the corner store and buying a box of Topps then going to the flea mall to sell them all. Not to metion, the prices now compared to then!!!...i miss my 50 cent packs
Juan gonzalez 90 donruss reverse negative
Great vid!
Thx! Took me awhile to put together actually
I had a no name Frank Thomas / first edition Pokémon Charizard and Pichu all destroyed by movers. I had water damage in my house and everything in my house went into storage as a company fixed everything. Once I got my stuff back I realized that somebody went through my collection and stole from it. They should not have taken my collection but they did by accident and I just accepted at the time I’d get it all back. So besides losing 2 sets of each year of the 1980’s USFL sets and other stuff, they had lose cards out in a box that got very badly dinged up. I through them away because these cards were mangled. The 3 that mattered cost me hugely!
I priced them out half a year later after I moved back into my home and cried!! I didn’t know what they were worth until then.
I watched a video on the mark jackson card a while ago, and thank god I did, because I was flipping through some of my uncles old cards and found it. Had I not watched that video, the card would have never caught my eye.
I think the 1990 donruss mvp John smoltz card with tom glavines pic shoulda been on here. that card is hilarious. much more than the dale Murphy card
Ok just looked at my SW collection and I have a golden dong card lol I didn’t even know it.

I'm still sick about it but I traded a ton of current rookies in the late eighties for a John Littlefield reverse negative card. I turned around and traded the Littlefield reverse negative for a 1968 Mickey Mantle. Unfortunately I traded the 68 mantle for about two shoe boxes worth of what would turn out to be total crap... Hindsight is 20/20! 😢
The 89 RN Dale is still a pricey card!!!! I have the f-face see one I had as a kid. Also got the RN Juan Gonzalez donnrus. I still dig them errors .. I sold a candy M. Card last year for $5!! It's a iconic card . Sold a 12 Jordan card about the same time. ...i still need a mark Jackson!!!...... Petty sure the white letter mantle is not a error . There is a hole set printed that way....I would LOVE a bush card . The ungloss went out the back door of the printer .
I ran across a card that had a totally different player on it but I can't remember who it was and I have over 75,000 cards to go through 🤣🤣🤣
I have a Frank Thomas rookie error card from 1990 Fleer. The front of the card has Thomas, but the back has Edwin Nunez stats upside down. I also have the Nunez card that has Frank's stats on the back. Does anyone else know anything about these error cards because I can't find out anything about them?
I have an oddity card which I pulled in 1999. It's a Upper Deck Football Darnay Scott card. It's a card with a razor blade embedded under gloss coating of the card. I have it for sale on ebay. Just search "Razor Blade Card" check it out..anybody else have odd pulls. I also pulled a 1995 Bowman Mendy Lopez baseball card that has Gregg Lloyd stadium club football #120 on the back. It's also on ebay.
I had a couple of the Sam Vincent cards with Jordan wearing the #12. The reason is someone broke into the visitors locker room and stole his jersey right before the game.
Never new that Corey H was on the 91 card. Man all I wanted to do as an early teen was go to Archie's from License to Drive. Great video!
The only "rediscovery" I found with the hobby today is the cards are too damn expensive now for what you get. 😒
I have the Gary Sheffield SS Upside down card. My Uncle had 4 Cal Ripken FF cards (we sold cards when I was little) then he felt it was distasteful and never put them back out into circulation. He may have at some point but that was back in the 90's
I just bought the Raw FF card, not a bad deal. Glad it made the list. Ripkin for the win.
2019 Ohtani Gets Date Error Card. In sapphire, graded PSA 10 goes for thousands. Trout and Ohtani. Date error on the back has Ohtani's big game happening way in the future.
That clip with Bill Ripken was great.
Thx! Originally i talked about the different Bill Ripken versions but decided to replace it with this interview lol
@@SilverJackify good story about the card - yea I have the FF version of it.
I have a good one. I have a 1996 Mike Piazza Topps number 246 and star power number 2 with the backs on opposite cards. So the number 246 back is on the star power and the number 2 star power is on the regular topps card.
License to drive! One of my favs of all time
Ken Griffey isn’t that great HE was only able to hit as many HR’s as he did because he played in Seattle. If you just make decent contact on the baseball ⚾️ it’s going over the fence in Seattle. Ken Griffey would have never hit as many HR’s as he did if he was playing for any other team in any other ballpark.
Maybe I have the top error card of all time. It's just a strip about 3/16 the of an in in width, and the with of a card. I kept the whole pack it came in. Just the craziest hockey card I ever seen. Nothing on it, just blank card stock without print and the package was one card short.
How could you not mention the John Littlefield reverse negative... 😔 😂
