Printing Error Rookie Cards

[hckycdn93]

Hi, I a looking at maybe acquiring one or two error YG cards of star players. Sellers want more than BV for then which I understand because there is no defined population. However, one is asking for even more than what a BGS pristine 10 goes for, while the other is asking more than a BGS 9.5 with strong subgrades. I am just curious as to what fair value for error rookie cards would go for and why. Also since they are error cards, would sending them to grading even be worth it? One is severely off-centered which makes it cool, but not sure if it is worth the money. Keep in mind these are newer cards, don'y want to disclose who the players are but lets just say they are Kane and Teows level of superstars. Any advice would be great, thanks!

If it was off centered really badly, it would come back with a bad grade. No?


I don't think "error" is the right word for what you're describing. Error Cards (at least in my mind) would refer to a mistake that was made on the card, and then was corrected... so two variations of the card had been made. Are you talking about printing defects only? Like missing foil, or off center, or stuff like that?

If you think they're cool cards, I say grab them, but I wouldn't pay a premium for them.

Yes ! exactly that, its to do with stamping, foiling error and I suppose miscuts. I do agree with you, they are cool and a collector's item but I don't feel comfortable paying a premium for them. Thanks for the feedback!

A miscut is not an error....just a wrecked card! :|

I would think prices would be way low for one of those. I wouldn't want a miscut horrible BGS 2 graded Rookie card. Even if odd.
