What do you guys think about these cards? Player collector must haves, or just a bad mistake?

Pine Tar · Jan 16, 2010

I would ahve them and then send it TTM for the player to auto

Great Dealz Rob · Jan 16, 2010

Player collector must have, atleast for me.

EricChavezCollector3 · Jan 16, 2010

Neat item, I have a similar Chavez from 1999 Gold Label but I definitely wouldn't consider them "must have" items.

Sly · Jan 16, 2010

Player Collectors - yes, it's a must have (for those that collect EVERYTHING of their player).

Non-Player Collector - piss poor mistake in Topps' QC department and I'd actually be pretty pissed if I pulled a pack with that. Just continues to show the lack of care by the companies now.

cgilmo · Jan 16, 2010

any one care to speculate scarcity?

Tomlinson21RB · Jan 16, 2010

I skipped over the Hanley.

steve-a-reno · Jan 16, 2010

I'd rather them leave it off than spell it wrong like they did on the gu/auto 1/1 Hanson. ::facepalm::

Pissed? Just list em and enjoy some cash back if you don't want them

they sell pretty well

I missed the ryan at $36. Who would have thought?

Erich · Jan 16, 2010

I got Jim Palmer through Casebusters Group Break. I was surprized it lasted as long as it did.
Maybe it is intentional by topps and it is set? just a thought

gvsu96 · Jan 16, 2010

Lost out on the Kell. Hopefully I'll see another pop up.

prospectorgems · Jan 16, 2010

I am wondering if it is intentional because not this many players should be missing the name. Should just be a handful, unless an entire sheet got nailed.

Brewer Andy · Jan 16, 2010

At first I thought it might be possible that this was an intentional "variation" from Topps or an unannounced variant, but I highly doubt if Topps was gonna do this on purpose they would leave off the Topps logo on the card front as well. So I'm saying production failure. As a player collector, I still think they're garbage but I've never been big on wrong backs, blank backs, etc. I agree though they would look great TTM!

matfanofold · Jan 16, 2010

Just an unfortunate printing error, like blank backs or such. Personally, I would not collect them or pay any kind of premium, but there are always thoes who like the oddball stuff. Certinly not the second coming of the FT NNOF.

All In Cards · Jan 16, 2010

Rather no name then this,

Tommy Hanson...yes. Any mediocre player? I highly doubt it'd sell that well.

Ultimately it comes to this...if these were done unintentional, and saying "well they sell well", then it just goes to show the card companies that they can continue to put out shoddy products with crappy QC.

HoustonTeams4Me · Jan 16, 2010

Just like anything, if there is enough "hype" about them created then YES I think there will be interest. So if the FCB front page write-up attracts enough attention then this QC error could become "buzz-worthy" & we may just see an increase in demand for them (heck, since Topps screwed the pooch with these they very well may come out & act as if they in fact meant to do this...Topps may even confirm these to be "unspecified print-run SP's", being that they're unspecified because Topps has no idea as to how many there are; being as these "variation's" and/or "error's" never truly were intended to be produced!

::facepalm::

I noticed that in the scans too. It made me almost pick it, but then I thought of all the threads I've seen or letters in Beckett where people point out printing errors like misspellings, missed names, wrong names, etc. tend to add little value.....figures that this time their desirable.

I have only seen a couple of doubles to this point.
