ebay scam? (1990 donruss error cards) - jhallam719@gmail.com - 03-23-2021
On Ebay, there are a lot of 1990 and 1991 donruss cards (especially Ken Griffey jr.) advertising a "very rare error," which is a missing dot on the back of the card. When I looked at my 1990 donruss collection, I have 30+ cards with that error. Is this just an ebay scam trying to trick a buyer into massively overpaying?

Well, the fact that you have 30+ of them certainly means they are not "very rare."
I figure it's a seller who doesn't know what they're talking about, a seller who heard somewhere else that it is rare so is running with that, or hoping for a buyer that doesn't know any better.

Is it a dot or an asterisk? *
I know that one asterisk means the card came from a factory set and two asterisks means it came from a retail pack (or vice versa).

Most, if not all, Donruss and Leaf cards from the late '80 through early '90s have this variation.
