Errer Cards: No Names


Reprint. Let's get that out of the way. I'm not that big of an error card chaser.


A supposed original, one of a kind, is currently being auctioned on ebay at $10,000! The write-up says that the faint lettering of Thomas' names unique and like no other.



Carlos Santana 2011 Topps Lineage #TV8. There's a hint of gold toward the bottom of the black spot where the name is supposed to be. I'm not much of a card seller, but I'm always rooting for this guy in hopes that the card value will go up. BTW, today is Carlos' birthday! Happy 34th Carlos!


Bobby Bonds 1990 Pacific Trading Cards, Inc. #128 when Bonds played in the Senior Professional Baseball league. Of the first ten 30/30 players, Bobby did it five-times! The apple didn't fall too far from the tree - his son Barry also did it five-times!



Joe Schultz Jr.'s' name is missing from this 1973 Topps Tigers Field Leaders card #323. According to Baseball-Reference, Schultz played in the major leagues from 1939 - 1948 all in the majors except for 1942 (no explanation provided -  WWII?) and 1944 when he spent most of the season in the minors. In those 9-years as a catcher and pinch hitter, he only played in 240 games -  that's an average of less than 27 games a year! That's a LOT of bench time. He was the first and only manager for the Seattle Pilots franchise during their lone season before they became the Milwaukee Brewers.

Peace!

    I spent over 30 minutes digging through my vintage box and binder looking for the 1973 Billy Martin for my Ron LeFlore post... but discovered I didn't have it. Never knew it was missing one of the coach's names.

    Man... someone has to be crazy or filthy rich to buy that Frank Thomas for that kind of money.

 Once again, I’m just trying to keep blogger alive (does it ever die?). I continue to collect, but am not motivated yet to post. Hopefully I will someday soon. After all, what’s a collection if no one but you sees it? Stay well, CinciCuse Bill
