I'm gonna have to be more careful.....

[Tim Carroll]

Working on my latest piece of card art, and I was cutting up some 1989 Topps. After cutting one of the Turn Back the Clock Tony Olivas up,

it was only then that I flipped it over:

Woops. I've been trying to keep it to strictly common cards that I cut - I certainly didn't mean to cut that one up. Guess I'm going to be paying more attention from now on.....

is that not a common?

 

[greatdadx2]

Ouch....

Its the No Copyright line card....very hard to find

 

[Tim Carroll]

is that not a common?

As greatdad ponted out, it unfortuantely is not. The regular version features the normal Topps copywright line on the lower left hand side. This is the variation that des not. Extreme short print. Not sure of the BV, nor am I sure of the sale value.......I just know that there are many collectors out there that would have loved to complete their master sets with this one.

There is no BV and one in the beckett marketplace going for $40

D'oh! LOL! Oh well!

Thanks, Pete.....surprised it isn't more than that. $40 isn't really going to set anyone back, but that is still pretty pricey for an 89 Topps card!

$40 is what I paid for mine a couple years ago

Now you have to add $40 to the final price of your artwork...

there's one in an ebay store with a $90 BIN ....

BUT , i guess this one slipped by :

89 topps error lot w/oliva no copyright

I have to imagine the seller had to be sick after getting under $6 for that lot. -Chad

agreed....not sure on the scarcity of the others (and i'm not sure i'd consider the puckett a true error or variation but more of a mere print flaw) , but i do know that the welch is another toughie too.....

 

[mindbinge]

i didn't even know there was such a thing. I thought all late 80's topps wax was worthless at this point.

 

[sberry]

Wow Ouch!!! is an understatement LOL.

 

[Beachbum]

Thats a toughie!! Do you have any others that aren't cut??

 

[OriolesFan8]

You mad cutting fool! $40 - isn't a common but in the scheme of things....

I thought you were going to show us a big bo bo caused by scissors.

[RyanL24]

As OriolesFan8 just pointed out, you got off pretty light!

You might list it on ebay anyway, who knows... maybe somebody will still pay a couple bucks until they can save up $40? Maybe not.......

 

[montserratplay]

Sorry, man. Look on the bright side: some folks have accidentally discarded much more valuable cards. Further, this dimension adds a great deal of meaning to your card art.

 

[houbb]

Ouch! Wasn't aware there was that much of a price variance.
