Can anyone tell me what the error on the following card is? Sometimes they list the error in the OPG but not this card. Any help?

This card was mentioned in Beckett Issue 1, just a little blurb on the last page. The regular card shows him with an airbrushed Winnipeg Jets jersey over the pittsburgh jersey he was wearing in the picture (and a bad airbrush job at that, LOL), whereas the error card showed him in his pittsburgh penguins jersey without the airbrushed Jets jersey.

However, a copy of that card has never been seen so the hobby's consensus is that it does not exist. Most likely if it DOES exist it is a proof card that belongs to some Topps employee or executive with probably only 1-3 copies in existence.

In other words: forget about it, it's a mistake on beckett's part from WAY back in the day

Thanks, i was going thru a bunch of early 90's hockey which i'm clearing out & will ck the opg to see if anything is worth saving. They could have listed the error as PPG uniform or something to help people distinguish error/corrected cards.
Thanks again, Karl

it is listed as such only in their annual price guide bible. in my opinion, it should be removed completely from all price guides, since like I said, its' existence is very doubtful.

As far as early 90s hockey, that was the decade of overproduction so very few cards are worth more than the cardboard they were printed on but they're now finally starting to get a bit of trade value since people who are getting into the hobby now are going back to try and build those sets too, and it was also the beginning of certified autographed cards, so those are very valuable.

I went thru a lot of 90's hockey & did a quick look on the opg, when the majority of what i had was worth .05 it didn't take long to decide on clearing them out.
