So after being lOCKED in my "sorting vault" (simlar to Superman's chamber) I decided to start a thread deciated to all of the crap I collected as a kid which is worthless. There is still value in some of these! A few Hof'er some minor stars and tons of memories in these years. Anyways I wanted to rehash some of the errors, varations and cards that may still be worth something today.
I noticed Hof'er of Bruce Sutter, Carlton Fisk, and Sparky Anderson
Errors 1982 topps blackless, 1988 Keith Comstock white letter, and I think there are like 15 1991 topps wierd back variations with decimal points..etc. What weird errors were there in the 80's?

There are plenty more, but I don't recall the others offhand.
I liked the many other 1988 Topps errors as well and the 1989 Upper Deck reverse photo cards.
Raw: Tony Gonzalez (low #'d cards, and especially 1/1's) and Steve Young.

'82 Fleer and Donruss had reversed negative errors - the Fleer Littlefield is still very expensive.
'85 Donruss Terry Pendleton card originally listed his first name as Jeff.
'84 Donruss Ron Darling and Mike Stenhouse originally came out without the card numbers on the back.

I found this online. unsure of year of manufacturer, possibly UD
"...#270 Mark McGwire. One version has "1987 SLG .618" where the other version has "1987 SLG 618". The period is missing from the slugging percentage number.
The ones that have different pictures (the rest are either stat variations or color/logo variations) are:
#279 Jose Gonzalez. Correct version shows right handed batter. Incorrect version shows left handed batter (Billy Bean)
#588 Mark Whiten. Correct version has hand inside left border. Incorrect version has his hand outside the border.
#603 Wes Chamberlain. Correct version has photo with player holding bat. The incorrect photo is Louie Meadows and he is not holding a bat.
This list does not include the Whiten and Hoiles variations, which are listed in the SCD Standard catalog. or the Ventura"
I think Clemens has one.
