I have a 1993 Topps Joe Montana #200 with no name on front and on Back it has a Warren Moon and Topps gold stamp.. does anymore know it this is a normal error or rare card?

Welcome aboard. Sounds like a printing error, which usually don’t have much value. Might be worth a few bucks to a Montana or Moon collector though. Do you have front and back pics?

Yup, pretty worthless unfortunately. Maybe $5 if you’re lucky enough to find the right buyer.

OK, thanks

To continue this same premise, would grading such a card be downgraded due to the missing stamping or graded straight up? Perhaps with extra wording on the placard. Motivational reasoning below.

I disagree that these error cards are worthless, especially star players who are collected heavily. True, most collectors would pass due to the flaws or maybe pay "book price" or even a slight premium for one for the novelty, but consider that most error/print flaws were printed in very small amounts and/or caught/corrected or pulled due to quality control. Someone who collects Montana or Moon may be willing to pay quite a large sum for that card. Same goes for the Jeter.

Look at it this way, you could probably find a million of that Montana card printed correctly, or maybe a couple flawed cards. Which would you rather have? Well, maybe both since the common card might set you back a quarter!
