Errer Cards: Misc.


2018 Topps Throwback Thursday (TBT) card #006. The people of Arizona must be shaking their heads.

The following is a 1988 reprint of 1909 T206 Piedmont Sherry Magee error card.


See below for the current price for an original Magee error card in fair condition... Wow! According to the PSA website, "this is one of the three big rarities in the T206 baseball set along with the Honus Wagner and Eddie Plank cards. It is also, perhaps, the most famous error card in the entire hobby. Sherry Magee was an excellent major leaguer, finishing his 16-year career with a .291 batting average and 1,176 RBI during the Dead Ball Era. In fact, he led the NL in RBI on four separate occasions and finished among the league leaders in home runs several times, but his solid performance is not what makes this card so desirable. Magee’s name was initially spelled incorrectly as “Magie” and then quickly corrected, with the corrected version printed in much higher abundance than the coveted error."


The next card is Tony Oliva's 1973 Topps card #80. The people of Minnesota must also be shaking their heads.


2007 Topps Derek Jeter card #40. Topps people must have been giddy releasing this card with cameo appearances of George W. Bush and Mickey Mantle.


2008 Topps Boston Red Sox card #234. Once again, Topps people must have been giddy releasing this card with a cameo appearance of former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani.
1989 Fleer Billy Ripkin card #616. The infamous FF card is on the left. The whiteout one in the center is an art card because it's the one most difficult (i.e., expensive) to obtain and I'm not about to spend more than a few bucks on that. The one on the right is the common black out card. There are many other variations, but none to me worth pursuing.


That's it for today. I hope all is well.
