Need help with this Error Card 1997-98 NBA Hoops Kevin Garnett Talkin' Hoops Insert Card #16

JBrules

Thought I would reach out to the basketball collectors on this board and see what the thoughts are on this error card of Kevin Garnett. A friend of mine asked me about the value of this card and from what I know most wrong back cards do not bring a significant premium. Having said that this card has Scottie Pippen on the back so this makes it a little more interesting for sure.

Questions #1 is has anyone else seen this particular error card before? I am wondering just how frequent this error might have occurred.

Question #2 what is the potential value of this card?

3rd would PSA grade this and label as a wrong back card?

Thanks in advance for any feedback provided.

I'm about to post a similar message with a different card. I have a 2nd year Pete Maravich (rookie?) with an incorrect back. I've seen discussions about how error cards aren't likely substantially more valuable. But it doesn't make sense if they aren't slightly more valuable. Sometimes the error leads to a lower PSA grade if it's stamped incorrectly. But I am very curious if PSA acknowledges errors and what would be one of the most valuable error cards in the modern era. Is it likely the Billy Ripken 'FF' card? Because that only carries a value of $30 or so.

PSA doesn't create new error designations, they must be documented elsewhere for them to label errors/variations. I have seen SGC label items as wrongbacks, perhaps Beckett does also?

Thanks Kyle.

Beckett does use wrongbacks as well, there’s the 1988-89 Fleer Sticker with MJ front and Ewing back that comes to mind.
