Is there a better error card than this? It's going on 15 years and I still have yet to see one bett

I was going through some of my cards and came acrossed a card I've had for a while. It's a Fleer '89 Billy Ripken card (Cal's little brother)... On the bottom of the bat (as a joke of course), he had the words F**k Face
written on it for team photo's.

Fleer didn't catch it until after they printed some of the cards off and it is very easy to see and read on the card. LOL, they missed a biggie.

Is there a better error card around? What do you think?

LOL. Noooope. Go to Collector's Empire, go down to Area 51, click on it, go down to oddities, and it is the first one.

dirtmonkey · August 20, 2002 1:34AM

No kidding... That's still funny though. Do they have a pic?

c0LLect0r · August 20, 2002 1:43AM

Yes.

AiRjOrDaN22 · August 20, 2002 2:12AM

dirtmonkey · August 20, 2002 2:14AM

I wouldn't want to post it because of the profanity...

AiRjOrDaN22 · August 20, 2002 2:15AM

Aren't you a youngster? I don't recall. You've traded with my brother (PissonJeffGordon). I can't send you profanities...LOL. Are you not a member of CE. Let me go see if I can find the link...

AiRjOrDaN22 · August 20, 2002 2:20AM

the "error" card

dirtmonkey · August 20, 2002 4:52AM

Yup, that's it... too funny.

Chillinbij · August 20, 2002 4:53AM

it sure is...

I found a copy of it for $2 and had to buy it. Always wanted a F@ck face Ripken.. The White out one is still worth alot of cash though.

I like the 01 Fleer Genuine Edgar Martinez Final Cut card better. Instead of glove pieces, they inserted jersey pieces that was intended for the Material Issue insert. The card says game worn batting glove, but you will find jersey patches in them.

dirtmonkey · August 20, 2002 5:41AM

Yeah, but there's a bunch of instances where companies have messed those up. Upper deck has admittedly
put other players Jersey, stick, etc - swatches on the wrong players card. It's just like when they have a rookie jersey and say it's game used, but on the back it says it's from a photo shoot.

autobilia · August 20, 2002 5:44AM

The Edgar is SP/130 and I have yet to see a correct one.

I've been told that Billy's brother Cal wrote that on his bat. Sounds like a trick I would play on my brother.

dirtmonkey · August 20, 2002 5:49AM

Me too. I probably would have done worse, but that's pretty funny.

<< <i>I've been told that Billy's brother Cal wrote that on his bat. Sounds like a trick I would play on my brother. >>

A few of his teammates got together and decided to play a trick on him. I doubt it was Cal.
