1989 Donruss Ken Griffey Jr #33 Rated Rookie E error?

[BarryBonds762]

Recently found a Griffey jr rated rookie and the e in his name was misprinted. How common is this? does it add any value to the card?

To a person that collects Griffey cards or to a person that collects error cards. It might bring a bit more value.

Have you ever seen one before like this one?

No I haven't. I don't collect Donruss cards.

If that is legit, I think it is pretty rare.

That sold listing didn't mention any difference with the "e" though. So if you list it as a variation (and it seems like a legit variation) then maybe it will fetch more.

Never noticed it before with first & last name e "whited" out. Here is another variation with just first name e "whited" out:

Sometimes even spotting these takes a deliberate search. I know there are errors that sat undiscovered for a while until someone scoured cards with a magnifying glass and hours upon hours of nothing else to do.

These things always excite specific player collectors but rarely yield fortunes. Most are more common when you start looking for them, sometimes they turn into a very rare and highly desirable variation.
