I don't understand how or why this is listed as a ER (letters used in guide for Error, same as RC for Rookie Card). To me it was a actual card shot taken and produced. Then it got out about the "ahem". And they then pulled it from production and inserted into said production the one with the words on the bat knob just scribbled over with a sharpie.
There way more screw ups and things that went down on or with cards, that people still talk about than this. Some people still say or think that U.D. shouldn't have or didn't have the right to print the Eric Lindros card in the 1991-92 series one set that caused a huge uproar which lead to massive high $ sales, until they got it straightened out. Then price just dropped. I was working at a card/comic shop here in Edmonton and had bought or was given half a case (6 boxes). One box had 8 of them. I got (as far as I can recall) about 50 or so of them. Sold about 30, made a small fortune, and kept the rest. Kept a bunch as the thinking everywhere was it was going to up and up and up, and that. As it was XRC (Extended Rookie Card), and it was going to worth a ton. So was building a little nest egg. Well, that lasted about a week and half. On another note, the U.D. set for hockey from 1992-93 card of Bure. Just went into that store and they bring the box down (up high behind counter to stop theft) and I just grabbed three different packs. I walk out and am walking home, about 5 blocks away. I notice the second pack is just rock hard, there's no movement of the wrapper at all. Look at that pack and compare it to others, I realized it's about 4 times as thick. So, I open it, and it's all ONE card. The SP card of Pavel Bure (SP 2). They were worth around $30 or more at the time. So I was surprised by the pack. But, because it was a factory screw up, you guessed it. They were ALL severely damaged. So went back to the store, and they were blown away, and we found the information for U.D. at the time, and wrote them about getting replacements. I wanted them all, after all it wasn't my fault their factory went wonky for a bit. Nothing doing and got a couple of them and some other "high end" cards for the time. I got 28 in that pack of those cards.
are error cards for non-star players ever worth anything? i just found a 90 Topps card of a normal player (Mike MacFarlane, Royals C) and there is no back on the card at all. i've handled thousands of those cards in my life and had never found one w that error (or any other card w that error).
@@sharpenedaxe2 yes. i think it's likely more valuable to me just for the rareness of it than it would be to sell. only mention of it online i ever found was a seller selling the exact reverse - a macfarlane card from that set w just the back, and the front blank (and white colored instead of cardboard colored like the back. kind of neat.
I’m getting ready to bring the grail out of its 30+ years of hiding, Factory uncut sheets that contain the FF Billy Ripken..I have several of them
Good video with good info. Fun card to try to and find. We lucked out and hit one recently on a box rip of unopened 89 Fleer. Was fun stuff!

those are called blank backs and are more valuable with stars than with commons but you can still get a few bucks with the smaller ones
