I know about the upside down SS error, but what is the Star Rookie error that they refer to in their set composite for the '89 UD set??

    Isn't it the same error? I think the rookie cards were labeled Star Rookie.

    13 GARY SHEFFIELD 1
    or GARY SHEFFIELD SS CORRECT 1
    or GARY SHEFFIELD SS UPSIDE DOWN 1
    or GARY SHEFFIELD STAR ROOKIE 5


    I was just wondering why in the set composite scores, the Star Rookie has a 5 and the SS upside down is 1?

    Maybe it has TM or R variation like a few others in set. I have the 2 1989 Topps Variations for sale on ebay though.

    This is one of my favorite cards. I have no idea about this star rookie error or the 1 and 5 designation. I am lost here, but I need to know what is going on because I collect Sheffield.

    I don't even own the upside down SS card, but would like to. I hate buying raw on ebay and have not gone to a show as they are getting less and less everytime.


    How many PSA 10s are there of the regular issue and of the upside down SS?

    How many 9s of each also?

    This is a long awaited bump, since I want to know the answer to the original inquiry.

    In addition, what is the POP for the PSA 10 on each variation of the rookie card?

    I think the Star Rookie variation is that circle is blank white. I think I saw one on ebay few years back. Not 100% sure though. Our resident E/V collector jacksoncoupage should know.

    From what I am aware of.

    PSA labeled the early sheffield's as star rookies on the slab.

    I think they did that with all the Star Rookie's...meaning "rookies" for 89.


    I don't think there is any error just a routine for labeling rookies.

    Buying:
    Topps White Out (silver) letters Alex Gordon
    80 Topps Greg Pryor “No Name"
    90 ProSet Dexter Manley error
    90 Topps Jeff King Yellow back
    1958 Topps Pancho Herrera (no“a”)
    81 Topps Art Howe (black smear above hat)
    91 D A. Hawkins BC-12 “Pitcher”

    Hit the nail on the head, Rich.

    All the star rookies can be found with an R or TM by their Star Rookie logo. This is a true variation but it is not recognized by PSA on the slabs.

    I can't say I've ever heard of a blank circle Sheffield, but supposedly a 1990 Ben McDonald exists that way but I am hesitant to buy it until I see one in person as they are easily faked (and often were back in the late 80's and early 90's).

    yeah, I am sure we all remember taking a pencil eraser and erasing away the players name on the 1989 upper deck set...


    I think i was smarter than most dealers and they thought I had somethin rare...lol

    Oh, OK, so just look for the TM or R near the Star Rookie emblem. Got it!

    I guess its a variation, but neither is more valuable than the other? There are a lot of different Sheffield Rookies out there and now I see Upper Deck at least 4?
