It just arrived today, so I'll have to post my own scans once I can make them (damn injury makes it impossible to do anything), but for now:
One of my favorite cards in my collection is Greer related. 1999 Topps Gold Lable class 3 wrong name Paul O'neill/Rusty Greer #d 21/25 (O'neills Uni #). After a pretty high winning bid it became mine. I used to PSA grade all my Uni number cards back then so I called PSA to ask how should I describe this card on the submission form. They told me they would not grade it unless Topps acknowledges the error or I can find publications of the error. Topps told me this was the first time they heard about the error. I was able to find photos of a Randy Johnson/David Justice wrong name. PSA then told me to submit the card as a wrong name and there it is. I regret trading my second copy of /25 correct name but the trade was for a recollections auto numbered 1/2 O'neill auto. A few years later I scored my other player Bernie Williams /25 and that one too, wrong name Rondell White.Sold this about a month ago for not very much. Always wanted one, then wasn't really enjoying it. I want one w/ the serial number on the front or a card that I just like better...
LOVE this card. Found it on COMC and show it off every time we do one of these threads:
Only true 1/1 Rusty I have:
Pleasant surprise from Burbank:

Just out of curiosity, for those of you who collect a player jersey number, how much competition do you see for them? i suspect the biggies (Ripken, Jeter, Griffey, Henderson, Bonds, Thomas, Ryan, etc) sees a lot of competition, but how about the lesser collected players. Do you have any rivals that make you pay or frustrate you in your efforts? I suspect that there are more serial number collectors than you'd think and since the majority of collectors/dealers seem to be oblivious to that, it makes it that much harder when you have to ask sellers for serial numbers that should be listed in the descriptions to begin with.

Holy Crap, what was the price increase on that?
