Anyone seen Herrer"a" Error card in 1958T set

RG58

1958 Topps #433 Herrer("a") error card is listed in the master set on the registry. No one with a set in the registry owns the card!

Does anyone know someone with this card or seen it auctioned in the last few years?

Well, the POP Report shows 11 graded (1 PSA 8, 1 PSA 8Q, 2 PSA 7, 1 PSA 6, 1 PSA 5, 2 PSA 3-4, and 2 PSA 1-2), so they are out there.

But wait a minute. You may ask how 1+1+2+1+1+2+2=11? This is known as "PSA Math". It is a common phenomenon on the Pop Report, especially with rarer cards and variations, but most definitely not limited to them. Check out any set and you will see this discrepancy.

Never trust the Pop Report on these. It's a shame that we can't trust it, but it's a fact we must live with. Just ask the '69 Topps Baseball variation or the '72 Kelloggs Baseball variation collectors.

JEB.

this card is extremetly hard to come by in raw form ...graded is hardly seen.

since pancho herrera was a cuban born player i have been looking for this card for a long time without finding one ...i did see one on ebay once which was in bad shape and it sold for over a hundred.

here is a pic

PSA does not count qualified cards in the totals. I saw a PSA 7 in Pittsburg on Rick Hamilton's table about 5 years ago. that was the last one that I saw.

I"ve got one- it's the 5 in the pop report. Won it a few years ago in a Mastro, and have yet to see another since. I haven't seen any transact in the information I"ve got going back about 8 years (auction catalogs), but I'm sure a few have. I have absolutely no idea what they are worth.
Of all the similar errors of the 40's and 50's this one seems harder- was it corrected early in the run, or damage to the plate late in the run?

I believe that they do Marty, although qualified cards below 7 wo'nt show in the breakdown columns.

Found this article on this card that might be of interest. The article is from BMW cards. Rare card indeed!

cool article. I believe 707 has a raw one which i saw on his table when he was in boston. waas also surprised in this article that he ranks the 68 mccormick as #5. I have that in psa 5 (I think) which I submitted myself had 2 of them in raw form in the late 80's. pulled both out of binders for about $1 each if memory serves me correct.

Was it not also BMW cards who sold the PSA 8 version of the card a few years back for $10,000?

I'm pretty sure on that one....

P.S. The ask price was $10,000 (I think). Not sure what the final sale price was, though.

Also -- edited to note: Most examples of this card, I would believe, are in set collectors hands. Most that would have this card probably got it before PSA became the place to go for grading commons. Many of the 1950s error cards that show up show up in the context of complete raw master sets (with stars graded). I'm sure that that is where I saw the last example of the Herrer card hiding. Just like in the most recent Mastro auction -- that is also where a lot of the Bakep '57s turn up.

Yeah BMW had the PSA 8 a few years ago for sale for 10K.....before that it was in a Superior Auction December 1999 Auction for $8,500
You can see a picture of the card if you go to their archives. I personally think the card is just a printing defect and not a huge deal.
