Error Autograph Game Used Cards?
BECKETTSUCKS

For those that do not know I like certain error cards and for the longest time have argued with many about there worth. While Beckett basically says there is not a lot of interest in them I have to disagree and think if Beckett would list them in their guide there would be some interest, even if they listed them without a price.
What I don't understand is why Beckett will not even acknowledge these cards, they seem to choose and pick which errors they want to list even though these are corrected error cards. Now I don't expect Beckett to list every error card that exists I do think they should list some of the major one's such as serial numbered cards that are missing the serial number and autograph cards that are missing the autograph. I mean after all if they truly track the cards they price they would have to know about these errors or others that exist. Wouldn't they?
Below are two error cards that I recently obtained, both should be hand serial numbered (Winfield of /50 and Jackson of /100) and autographed but aren't. Now usually the autograph cards missing the autograph I find are just that, autograph cards, and it is hard to argue that they are even close in price to the real card with the autograph. These cards however are game used cards that are missing the autograph so I would have to argue that they may be worth more than regular version with the autograph. My reason for thinking this is that there would be the correct version of this autograph GU which is already pretty limited. These cards still have the GU pieces but are missing the autograph and serial number and until I come across another like them would consider them a 1/1 error.
My question to everyone is, are these worth more than the regular versions listed in Beckett or worth less because it is missing the autograph? Also should Beckett list these as error cards in their magazine as corrected errors?

and whenever I found one, I would always keep it too. I think they are
a lot more rare then any of the other cards. It's been a while since I've
got one, but I have 2 1995 Donruss Alex Rodriguez cards, the front is
the regular card, and the back is the Press Proof version.
Now maybe a Jackson collector or and Error collector will give you something great for it but a Jackson collector would probably give you something great for it anyway if its limited.
Besides in 25 years when hes gone; will it be more valuable cause its an error or its an limited autograph
id say limited autograph
IMHO
