2011 Topps Chrome purple ref error (Ryan Howard)...

markakis8 · Sep 7, 2011

Anyone else have a Ryan Howard purple refractor to compare? I'm wondering if this happened to all Ryan Howards or just this one. The serial # is supposed to be where the gold bar is and not on the side of the card. No Howard purple ref on ebay yet...

I will save Kevin a response.How could they screw up the card of the greatest Major League player ever?

bump for evening crowd. anybody get a purple ryan howard?

That's a strange looking Howard "grey box" on the bottom. Perhaps they put the serial number on the side because of this. Here's my purple Conger with a "normal" grey box that holds the serial number nicely....

Yah all my other purples look like your Conger. I was just hoping someone else pulled a Ryan Howard purple. Didn't know if they were all like this or I had a rarity.

Maybe it's just the pattern of the foil, but it looks like a serial # was stamped and then covered over with the foil. If Topps had some issues like stamping the wrong #s on some of the refractors, and you happened across one of them, I'm sure someone would pay you crazy money for it.

This happened to some of Aroldis Chapman's 2010 Bowman Sterling Base Autos were there was a little foil box were a serial number would have been if it were a refractor auto but it wasn't. I pulled one and it had the same foil box like on your Ryan Howard. Maybe if you pull the foil off it will be a 1/1?!? Haha very interesting though... probably just wrong serial numbering.

What are the odds. Just bought my first blaster and got the same Purple Howard. Mine looks just the same:
